TITLE : WONDERFUL JESUS


TEXT:“And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27)

In the above passage, Christ gave an account of the prophecies concerning Himself to His troubled disciples. Here two disciples on the way to Emmaus were discussing Jesus. Jesus therefore appeared and expounded the Scripture to them. He is the minister, the Message and the topic of discussion. How wonderful Jesus is? All the Scriptures beginning from Moses and the prophets speak about Him. He is the great Shepherd and identifies Himself as the Lamb. He is that High Priest who entered the heavenly tabernacle, “Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us” (Hebrews 9:12). So, he was both the Priest and the Sacrifice. He offered his own blood, which was Jesus, a wonderful personality. If Jesus preached himself, then you must preach Jesus only. No wonder A. B. Simpson wrote in his timeless hymn in 1890: “Jesus only is our message...”
