Luke 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
In fact, this particular encounter reveals something that needs to be understood by those who carry the everlasting Gospel to the people in our day. Unless The Holy Ghost illuminates a person’s mind, such a person is rendered incapable of understanding, or being convinced of truth, regardless of how much information on the subject in question is given out.
Luke 24: 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke 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. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day.
Layman preachers in our day, who are preparing to run the last leg of the long running marathon of the Gospel, must understand that The Holy Spirit will be given to drive home specific truths pertaining to the issues of worship that will obtain in our day. He isn’t scheduled to convince people under the latter rain, of all 27 fundamental doctrines of the church.
Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
