Recognizing Jesus

Many people don't understand that the Bible is more than a book of ancient history. The Bible does contain history, but it is also His-Story. It is the story of Jesus from cover to cover, and that also includes the Old Testament.


When Jesus talked with the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus, he rebuked them for not recognizing that the Old Testament predicted His death, burial and resurrection.


And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:25-27


Later that day, those two disciples ran back to tell the other disciples that they had seen the risen Lord Jesus. As they were talking Jesus appeared in their midst. Once again, he told them that everything from the Old Testament books of Moses, Psalms and the Prophets were all about Him.


Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:44-48
