The Emmaus Way – learning with Jesus for 89 weeks!

Posted by on


“And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27) “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” (Luke 24:32) “Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” (Luke 24:44) “Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.” (Luke 24:45)
Two months ago I stopped my daily bible reading reflections.
I felt like I needed a break, but now I am missing my reflection time.
I also felt the need to change the way I read the Scriptures.
This coming Monday, November 18, I am restarting my bible reading reflections.
I will be focusing on the Gospels for 89 weeks, one chapter a week.
For me, knowing Jesus is the key to understanding the bible.
As Jesus says, the point of the bible is to lead us to Jesus (John5:39-40)
As we grow in our relationship with Jesus, he opens our minds to understand the bible.
Like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, the living Word speaks to us personally!
May our hearts burn within us as he opens the Scriptures to us!

A time for everything!

“There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1)

After 17 years of reading through scripture with Jesus in my desire to find and follow His Way, I have decided that the time has come to end. Something new may come out of this, but the daily bible reflections are finished as of today.

This has been an amazing part of my journey of faith, allowing me to read and reflect daily on the whole bible five times. Thank you to all of you who have joined me, especially Tony and Rick who daily posted their own comments. Tony has been with me from the beginning, and it was him that kept me going, knowing that he would always be there waiting to respond. This support and accountability made all the difference.

Please keep on reading scripture with Jesus, and keep on asking yourself: What do you sense the Lord saying to you in this passage?

May the Lord bless us all as we walk with him, trying to find His Way!
