NEED FOR INTERPRETATION
This same need for guidance is shown in the record about two of Jesus’ disciples. These men were on the way to Emmaus, on the third day after Jesus’ death. They were familiar with the Hebrew Scriptures, but still they could not understand why Jesus had to suffer and die. When the resurrected Jesus met up with them, they did not recognize him since Jesus had evidently taken a different form. What did Jesus do to help these sad-faced disciples?
“Commencing at Moses and all the Prophets,” the Bible record says, “he interpreted to them things pertaining to himself in all the Scriptures.”
