Wednesday, June 23, 2021 Spiritual Heartburn "And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:27 NKJV). It was the greatest sermon ever preached, and we don't even know what it was. As Jesus walked with the two disciples on the Emmaus road, the Bible tells us that "beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself" (Luke 24:27 NKJV). Jesus took them on a flyover of the Scriptures and all the verses that pointed to what the Messiah would do. No doubt He took them to Genesis and the first passage that spoke of the coming of the Messiah: "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel" (3:15 NKJV). Jesus might have reminded them that in Genesis when Abraham offered up his son Isaac, it was a picture of what God the Father did at Calvary. The difference, however, was that Abraham didn't have to kill Isaac (see Genesis 22:8 NKJV). In Exodus He was the Passover lamb. In Numbers He was a rock in the wilderness, broken to give water. In the book of Joshua, He was the Captain of the Lord's armies. In Isaiah, He was called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace (see Isaiah 9:6). |
