Biblical Concept: Jesus Teaches Jesus
Luke 24:27 And beginning with Moses and with all the
prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the
Scriptures.
Luke 24:44 Now He said to them, "These are My words
which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written
about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be
fulfilled."
Findings:
After Jesus’ crucifixion
death, two Emmaus Disciples were trying to understand what had happened. To facilitate Disciple orientation, Jesus
taught them the Bible. He performed a
topical search of Himself in the Hebrew Scriptures.
He was standing right in
front of these Emmaus Disciples, but that was not enough. The Disciples needed an understanding that
would last after His ascension. He
taught them from the Scriptures so that they could teach others from the
Scriptures. He taught them the Biblical
Concept of Jesus.
The Biblical Concept
of Jesus would grow considerably with the advent of Apostolic writings to
the Assemblies of God popping up around the world.
Philippians 3:8-11 8
More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value
of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not
having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the
righteousness which comes from God on
the basis of faith, 10 that I may know Him, and the power of His
resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His
death; 11 in order that I may
attain to the resurrection from the dead.
2 Peter 1:2-4 2
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our
Lord; 3 seeing that His
divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness,
through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. 4 For by these He has granted to
us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might
become partakers of the divine
nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.
1 John 2:1-5 1
My little children, I am writing these things to you that you may not sin. And
if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the
righteous; 2 and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and
not for ours only, but also for those of the
whole world. 3 And by this we know that we have come to know Him, if
we keep His commandments. 4
The one who says, "I have come to know Him," and does not keep His
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 5 but whoever
keeps His word, in him the love of God has truly been perfected. By this we
know that we are in Him:
Jesus taught Jesus, the Apostles taught Jesus, the Assemblies of God teach
Jesus. What say you?
