September 18 – Truly Opened Minds

“Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.” Luke 24:45 (NIV)

We have considered this verse before – especially during the days after our Christ's crucifixion and resurrection.  The joys of His resurrection are available for us to consider anytime and not only during Easter time.  What Jesus did for the disciples in this passage, He can do for us every day.  Even though Jesus had taught them much during His time with them before his death, they were not fully comprehending what had happened.  We too might find times when we are not comprehending lessons from God's Word even though we may have studied it and heard it preached many times.  What Jesus did for these two, He is doing for us today.  He promises to open our minds so that we can understand the Scriptures.  Without His work of opening our minds, we will not be able to comprehend what the Bible is teaching us. We need Him to help us understand.
