The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a rewarding journey. Their companion was the Lord Jesus, the perfect teacher, with all wisdom and knowledge. He didn't mind teaching just two people. Even now, He will guide anyone willing to learn. We should cherish His company because only through Him do we become wise for salvation.
Jesus used the best book as His guide. Although He knew new revelations, He chose to explain the old truths. He showed us that true wisdom comes from meditating on God's Word, not human reasoning or speculation. The richest spiritual insights are found when we explore Scripture deeply.
When Jesus wished to teach, He turned to Holy Scripture. He spoke of Himself, revealing the depths of His own nature and work. Here, Jesus unlocked the treasures of His own house, sharing them freely. He is the one who guides us to find truth.
The sweetest topic for Him was His own person and work. We should always search the Scriptures with our hearts focused on Him. May we have the grace to study the Bible with Jesus as both our teacher and our lesson.
Closing Prayer
Father, thank You for meeting us here tonight. Give us grace to seek wisdom in Your Word. In Jesus' name, Amen.
