Re:Verse passage – Luke 24:45-53 (day seven)
Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. vs 45
Before they could go and preach the Gospel, Jesus helped them remove the barriers that were clouding their understanding. All of a sudden, Scripture came alive. They were remembering and understanding all that Jesus had taught and done. It was an “aha!” moment. Should it be a surprise that what followed was joy and obedience? Should it be a surprise that they began worshipping with boldness?
Yes, encountering the risen Christ and watching Him ascend into heaven had a big part to play in these things, but when Scripture comes alive in our hearts and minds we truly begin to change.
The unfolding of Your words gives light;
It gives understanding to the simple. Psalm 119:130
We were not present to see Him ascend into heaven, but we all have had those “aha!” moments where Scripture comes alive and we encounter the risen Christ through His word, with His Spirit. When we do, we cannot help but begin to change. Through Scripture we can find joy. Through His Word, we will become more obedient. With His Spirit we will worship with boldness.
Holy Spirit Come!
