“And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.”
Luke 24:27
On the day Jesus rose, He met two disciples on the road to Emmaus. Today, a Crusader church set in beautiful gardens marks that site. Inside the church, steep steps lead to a spring and well where tradition says Christ dined with them.
In his Evening by Evening devotional collection (1868), Charles Spurgeon sheds light on this event. He notes (day 01/18) that Jesus, the ultimate teacher, used the best textbook—the Word of God. Though He could reveal new truths, He chose to explain the old, showing that wisdom comes not from speculation or human reasoning but from meditating on Scripture. He focused on the most important subject—Himself— unlocking Scripture’s mysteries and revealing the truths He had concealed.
As a host prepares a feast, Jesus set the table with the richest truths—His person and work. There is no greater subject of study than Christ, and He alone guides us to true understanding. When we approach the Bible, we do so with Jesus as both our teacher and subject. With Him at the center, His truth can transform our hearts.
