66th Post Jesus and the Fulfillment of Prophecy - Luke 24: 44,46-48.

This passage takes place in the upper room on Easter Evening. The disciples were hiding from the authorities; trying to put all of their feelings of the last three days and the new information given them on this day, into some kind of perspective. While they were processing the information of the last three days; Jesus suddenly appears out of nowhere into their midst. They knew Jesus did not use a door or a window (because they were locked) to enter the room, but all could see Him in their presence. Some saw and still could not believe that Jesus was in fact ALIVE! Put yourselves in their (the disciples) place. You witnessed Jesus mutilated body hung on a Roman Cross, and watched his life drain out of Him. There was no doubt in your mind that Jesus died that day. Now Sunday evening Jesus is giving you (the disciples) the same lesson, the two disciples received on the Road to Emmaus. Jesus takes them on a tour of the Old Testament, the Law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled. Jesus told them that all these things had to happen in order for the Scriptures to be fulfilled. Jesus had to suffer and die, rise on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His (Jesus) Name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. Just like the disciples at the time of Christ, you have been learning about Jesus and at some point you will have to make a decision, on whether He is Who He Said He was on not. The choice is yours.
