“HE OPENED THEIR MINDS!”

 Luke 24:45                    (ESV)

“[45] Then “HE (JESUS) OPENED THEIR MINDS” to understand the Scriptures,”

Recently I wrote about JESUS talking with Cleopas and his friend on the road to Emmaus and how JESUS OPENED their EYES to SEE what they previously couldn’t identify.  

This passage of Scripture is just a few verses later and “HE (JESUS) OPENED THEIR MINDS” to UNDERSTAND the Scriptures!  The MINDS that JESUS OPENED were of HIS DISCIPLES, the eleven who were left after Judas hanged himself.  

In Luke 24:44, Scripture records “Then HE (JESUS) said to them (the Disciples), “These are MY words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that EVERYTHING WRITTEN ABOUT ME in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms MUST BE FULFILLED!”  In THE WORD (John 1:1), JESUS KNEW EVERYTHING that was WRITTEN about HIM, and HE HAD TO fulfill every one of them!!  

“HE (JESUS) OPENED THEIR MINDS” to FULLY UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING WRITTEN in SCRIPTURE!!   When the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE OPENED THE MINDS of HIS Disciples, HE bestowed upon them a gift that is indescribable!!  Nothing was done out of chance or circumstance……”HE (JESUS) OPENED THEIR MINDS”!!!!
