Luke 24:44-47 (NKJV) 44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. 46 Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ’s resurrection is the fulfillment of His own words written in the Scriptures. Since, Jesus is God, God the Son, the Second Person of the Triune Godhead, Elohim. The Bible, God’s Word, is His very Word spoken to us. What was the Old Testament prophecies concerning Christ? Well, first, that Jesus must suffer (see Psalm 22:1-21, Isaiah 53:1-9). Second, that Jesus must rise again from the dead on the third day (see Psalm 16:10, Jonah 1:17, Hosea 6:2). And third, that repentance and remission of sins will be preached in His name to all nations beginning with Jerusalem. Now, Jesus opened His disciples’ understanding of these Scriptures. My friends, in order to understand the Scriptures you must have the Holy Spirit of God open your mind and heart to receive the truth. And after that He will open your understanding of the Scriptures. Only the Holy Spirit can make the Word of God real to you. And believers just like you and just like me, will take the gospel of Christ, the message of Salvation to the ends of the earth. My friends, we all have a task to do to get the Word out. We do not know the day or the hour of Christ’s return. But we know He is coming again. And not knowing when Christ will return, only makes it that much more important for us to be busy working on the task that God has ordained us to do to get the Word out.
God Bless and have a great day in God’s Word.
