And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in the Scriptures concerning himself.
Jesus told the men walking on the road to Emmaus all things concerning Himself!
Have you ever had the thought...
wouldn't that be great to hear from His lips....the horses mouth ...so to speak?
To have Him explain about each prophecy fulfilled? how each scripture pertained to Him!?
Wouldn't it be wonderful!?
No wondering, no searching or trying to pull it all together... to have it all spelled out by the Man Himself!
We don't need to wish or hope....because we HAVE!
We open up the bible and start to read...from Genesis straight through....to Luke Chapter 24 verse 27 (and beyond) and you have it
📖 Moses was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments. Exodus 34:28
📖 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,
because the Lord has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners,
to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,
and provide for those who grieve in Zion Isaiah 61:1-3
📖 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14
AND much much more...you can read the scriptures of the Old Testament yourself and see how they pertain to Christ!
He knew what He was talking about because He not only knew the scriptures...He WAS the fulfillment of them!
It was His life's mission, His life's work to know the scriptures just as it was His life's purpose to fulfill them!
It should be ours to know Him through the scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, because our purpose is
to know Him,
📖 Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:3
to be known by Him
📖 But whoever loves God is known by God. 1 Corinthians 8:3
and to be in His presence.
📖 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. Revelation 21:3
Be on your knees in prayer...meditate on His word...be still and KNOW He is God...
And you will be in His presence!
🎵 He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life's narrow way
He lives (He lives), He lives (He lives), Salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart
