THEY UNDERSTOOD NONE OF THESE THINGS!

August 5, 2017

“And all things that are written by the prophets

concerning the Son of Man shall be accomplished…

and they understood none of these things.”

Luke 18:31, 34

“they understood none of these things”…

until they were fulfilled; and He came to them and

opened their minds…

 and after He went back to the Father,

The Father sent them the Holy Spirit to be within each one reminding of Jesus Words

and teaching all things about HIM!

Remember the two men on the road to Emmaus?  Jesus had just risen from the grave and as two of His disciples were walking He joined them in their conversation... And then, “beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.” (Luke 24:27)

While they were telling the other disciples, Jesus came into the room and said:

“These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets, and in the Psalms, concerning Me.  Then He opened their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures.” (Luke 24:44)

John tells us in Chapter 14 of his letter about the promise of the Holy Spirit and what He will do.  In verses 16-18 Jesus says:

“And I will pray the Father, and HE will give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him; but you know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you.  I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.” 

In verse 26, he says:  “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
