Bible Study
Today's passage gives us a moving story of how Jesus gave a new paradigm to two persons of the way to read Bible.
N.T. Wright says:
They, like everybody else in Israel, had been reading the Bible through the wrong end of the telescope. The had been seeing it as the long story of how God would redeem Israel from suffering, but it was instead the story of how God would redeem Israel through suffering...
For that we need to learn how to read the scriptures; and for that we need, as our teacher, the risen Lord himself. This passage forms one of the most powerful encouragements to pray for his presence, and sense of guidance, whenever we study the Bible, individually, in pairs or in larger groups. We need to be prepared for him to rebuke our foolish and faithless readings, and to listen for his fresh interpretation. Only with him at our side will our hearts burn within us (verse 32), and lead us to the point where we see him face to face.
So, do you think you have the presence of Jesus when you read the Bible? Do you know that you need to invite Him to be with you every time you read the Bible so that you are not only studying the holy scripture but being with Jesus.
