The weight of what is written

When Jesus appeared to the disciples on the road to Emmaus he chose not to reveal his identity by means of his physical appearance. Instead, he explained himself using the Scriptures (Luk 24:27). One would think that the more convincing proof would be to show his face and his wounds. He wanted them to understand him through what was written by Moses and the prophets (Luk 24:44). Jesus was a master of the Scriptures and he wants us to be as well. He wants us to see him in the Bible (Joh 5:39). We have the same Scripture Jesus used to prove himself. Have you studied them? Are you convinced?
