Luke 24:45-47
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

_______THOUGHT_________________________________________________________
In the Scripture above, Jesus appeared to the disciples.
He had already called, taught, ordained and commissioned them.
Now, He "opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures."
It is only through the light of Christ that we can comprehend the Word of God.
We must first have HIM, then we gain understanding.
There were two purposes for which Christ "opened their understanding."
The first, was that they (and we) might grasp the primary focus of the Bible.
It is CHRIST!!
For, He is God incarnate.
The Bible is His story!
It tells of His plan, His advent, His suffering, His death and His resurrection.
The second purpose for which Jesus "opened their understanding," was that they would
PREACH!
Repentance and remission of sin comes ONLY in the Person of Jesus!
Forgiveness is His, for He purchased the right with His own blood!
Notice that the "gospel" (His story), said Jesus, began at "Jerusalem" and went to "all nations."
Christians, the Gospel begins in our heart, and goes to all the world by the word of our mouth.
Remember your purpose!
Love ya,
