DAILY READINGS: Num. 25 to 26:51; Prov. 22:17 to 23:11; Luke 1:26-56
And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. Luke 24:27
Broken-hearted travelers on a seven mile walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus were joined by an unknown, but sympathetic, Friend. He mysteriously knew so much about the Saviour they mourned. As they walked, He likely told them of His virgin birth (Is. 7:14) and His vicarious death (Is. 53:7). Then He may have presented thoughts of His triumphant resurrection (Ps. 16:10). I wonder if He assured them their Redeemer would live forever (Job 19:25)? The nail-pierced Man, who lightened their burdened hearts, longs to lighten yours today. Enjoy your walk with Him. —Arnot McIntee
Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord;
My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word. —Mary Ann Lathbury
