S – Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, ⁴⁶ and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, ⁴⁷ and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem

Luke 24:45–47 CSB

O – Jesus allows them to understand the Old Testament scriptures in a new way.  Through those texts, he demonstrated how he was indeed the Messiah. Then, he outlines how the message of repentance and forgiveness is for all nations.

A – Like a good mystery, the reveal of all that Jesus was doing before the cross comes to understanding.  Each of us face mysteries in our own lives as we seek to honor God daily.  As we continue to press into God, he will show us what we need to know to accomplish his will.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you.  Give us greater understanding of your word and character so we may do your will.  Open our minds and hearts to see your direction and to follow it without hesitation.
