Jesus Opened Their Minds & the Scriptures

Listen to the Audio

In Luke 24 Jesus has risen and begins appearing to the disciples and on the road to Emmaus he opens the scriptures to some of them.

After the encounter the disciples say, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

Then a few verses later Jesus appears to the disciples again and after showing them his hands and feet and having something to eat Luke 24:45 says, Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. 

Yesterday we asked God to help us magnify his word and make it bigger in our lives. In today's communion we are asking God to open our minds to help us understand the scriptures. Colossians 1:6 says that the Gospel bears fruit in our lives ever since the day we understood God's grace. Having an open mind that understands the scriptures and God's grace is an important key to being fruitful. 

I am praying for you.
