What Does Luke 24:27 Mean?
Then comes the greatest walk through Scripture ever given. Beginning at Moses and continuing through all the prophets, Jesus expounds in all the scriptures the things concerning himself — the whole sweep of the sacred writings read with him at the center.
Jesus here teaches his church how to read the Bible: the law and the prophets converge on him — the Passover lamb, the offerings, the suffering servant, the son of David. The older Scriptures are not a different story but the opening chapters of his. Read in search of Christ, the whole book catches fire.
