RE Verse reading – Luke 24:13-35 (day seven) “Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory? Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.” (v 26-27) It is a good transition for us. Today is our last study in Luke. Next week we begin 12 lessons in Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Jesus referenced the prophets because they inspired Him. He learned from them. Learned that suffering would be a necessary part of His ministry. Ours too. “Blessed are you when people insult and persecute you. Rejoice and be glad. . .for this is the way they treated the prophets.” (Matthew 5:11-12) What price/privilege will be required for us to know the Lord and speak for Him in an unbelieving age? The prophets can tell us! Lord, give us ears to hear in the next few weeks. “Your sons and your daughters will prophesy” (Acts 2:17)
