Luke 24:27 

"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."

Luke 24:27 - Commentary & Verse Meaning - Bible

“Moses … all the prophets”: Verse 44 gives the 3-fold division, this expression is merely a shortened way to say the same thing.

“In all the scriptures”: In the inscrutable wisdom of divine providence, the substance of Christ’s exposition of the Old Testament messianic prophecies was not recorded. But the gist of what He expounded would have undoubtedly included an explanation of the Old Testament sacrificial system, which was full of types and symbols that spoke of His sufferings and death.

He also would have pointed them to the major prophetic passages which spoke of the crucifixion, such as (Psalms 16:9-11; 22; 69; Isa. 52:14 - 53:12; Zech. 12:10; 13:7).

And He would have pointed out the true meaning of passages like (Gen. 3:15; Num. 21:6-9; Psalm 16:10; Jer. 23:5-6; Dan. 9:26), and a host of other key messianic prophecies, particularly those that spoke of His death and resurrection.

He gives them a Bible lesson in the Old Testament of all of the prophecies written about Him. They must have been like some ministering today, who are not very familiar with His Word.

Luke 24:34 "Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon."

“Appeared to Simon” (1 Cor. 15:5-8). Scripture describes at least 10 distinct appearances of Christ between the resurrection and ascension. He appeared to:

1.      Mary Magdalene at the tomb (Mark 16:9; John 20:11-18).

2.      To the women on the road (Matt. 28:9-10).

3.      To the disciples on the road to Emmaus (verses 13-32).

4.      To Peter (verse 34).

5.      To 10 of the 11 disciples, Thomas being absent (verses 36-43; Mark 16:14; John 20:19-25).

6.      To the 11 disciples (with Thomas present), 8 days later (John 20:26-31).

7.      To 7 disciples by the shore of the Sea of Galilee (John 21:1-25).

8.      To more than 500 disciples, probably on a mountain in Galilee (1 Cor. 15:6).

9.      To James (1 Cor. 15:7).

10.  To the apostles when He ascended into heaven (Acts 1:3-11).

After His ascension, He appeared to Paul (1 Cor. 15:8). The next time He appears it will be in glory (Matthew 24:30).

Luke 24:44 "And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake 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."

“What is a true Evangelistic Preacher”?

 

“What is a true Evangelistic Preacher”?

(evangelistic and apologetic)

Always preaching about

John 1:1-18

And

Genesis 1:11 KJV

And them

Compare that person to Apostle John!

John the Apostle (Aramaic: יוחנן שליחא‎ Yohanān Shliḥā; Hebrew: יוחנן בן זבדי Yohanan ben Zavdi; Koine Greek: Ἰωάννης; Coptic: ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ or ⲓⲱ̅ⲁ; Latin: Ioannes; c. AD 6 – c. 100) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament.

John’s gospel is the second (compare Luke 1:1-4), that contains a precise statement regarding the author’s purpose (20:30-31). He declares, “these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name” (20:31). The primary purposes, therefore, are two-fold: evangelistic and apologetic. Reinforcing the evangelistic purpose is the fact that the word “believe” occurs approximately 100 times in the gospel (the synoptics use the term less than half as much). John composed his gospel to provide reasons from saving faith in this readers and, as a result, to assure them that they would receive the divine gift of eternal life (1:12).

The apologetic purpose is closely related to the evangelistic purpose. John wrote to convince his readers of Jesus’ true identity as the incarnate God-Man whose divine and human natures were perfectly united onto one person who was the prophesied Christ (“Messiah”), and Savior of the world (e.g., 1:41; 3:16; 4:25-26; 8:58). He organized his whole gospel around 8 “signs” or proofs that reinforce Jesus’ true identity leading to faith. The first half of his work centers around seven miraculous signs selected to reveal Christ’s person and engender belief: Then the eighth shown below, was after Jesus' resurrection.

(1)   Water made into wine (2:1-11);

(2)   The healing of the royal official’s son (4:46-54);

(3)   The healing of the lame man (5:1-18);

(4)   The feeding of a multitude (6:1-15);

(5)   Walking on water (6:16-21);

(6)   Healing of the blind man (9-1-41);

(7)   The raising of Lazarus (11:1-57);

(8)   The miraculous catch of fish (21:6-11), after Jesus’ resurrection.
