Disciples Prove Humans Need Jesus- To Understand

Disciples Prove Humans Need Jesus- To UnderstandThen he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. (Luke 24:45 NIV)

Disciples

Forward Friday! Disciples proved time again, they were human. Believing was hard for them. Maybe not surface belief, yet deeper concepts. The disciples had returned to Jerusalem, digesting Jesus’s return. While talking this very point, Jesus stood among them and began talking. The disciples were startled and frightened, so much they thought they saw a ghost.

Jesus

Jesus saw they were troubled, minds full of doubt. Proof was shown in Jesus’s hands and feet. It was Jesus. He died on the cross and rose three days later. Scars left in His hands and feet. While the disciples marveled in joy and amazement, Jesus moved on asking for something to eat. In his mind- this was simple. Human minds to grasp, we stand amazed.

Understanding

For the disciples to understand- Jesus opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He will do the very same thing for each of us. Understanding God’s principles take time to process. Effort is necessary and doubt must cease. Trying to read and study God’s Word without the Holy Spirit’s help, leads to confusion. However, once we ask Jesus to help us understand scripture, He is faithful.

Light

God’s Word is light to our path and lamp for our feet. Biblical Truth sets people free. The more we learn, greater our desire to conform to God’s guidelines and no longer to the world. Just like the older hymn goes…He gets sweeter and sweeter as they days go by, Oh what love between my Lord and I, I keep falling in love with him over and over and, over and over again.

Sweetness

Sweeter than your best sweet tea on a hot summer night. Sweeter than hot chocolate and warm fire enduring a cold winter. Jesus will never fail us, keeping our eyes on Him through praise, prayer, and studying God’s Word. Are you willing to ask God for help to understand scripture? One of the best things I have done. Forward Friday! Moving forward understanding God’s Word. Life-changing.

Be encouraged!
