He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures
the things concerning himself.
Luke 24:27
"The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a most profitable
journey. Their companion and teacher was the best of tutors; the interpreter one of a thousand, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
Let us court the company of so excellent an Instructor, .... This unrivalled tutor used as His class-book the best of books. Although able to reveal fresh truth, He preferred to expound the old....
He showed us that the surest road to wisdom is not
speculation,
reasoning,
or reading human books,
but meditation upon the Word of God.
The readiest way to be spiritually rich in heavenly knowledge is to dig in this mine of diamonds, to gather pearls from this heavenly sea. When Jesus Himself sought to enrich others, He wrought in the quarry of Holy Scripture.
Here the diamond cut the diamond,
and what could be more admirable?
The Master of the House unlocked His own doors, conducted the guests to His table, and placed His own dainties upon it. He who hid the treasure in the field Himself guided the searchers to it. ... O for grace to study the Bible with Jesus as both our teacher and our lesson!"
Charles Spurgeon
