Comment and Suggestive Thought.
V. 80. They" Cleopas and his
friend who had seen Jesus at Emmaus.
Thus spake." AS they told how he
had walked and talked with them, had
explained the Scripture prophecies of
His sufferings and death, and finally,
how He was known of them in break
ing of bread" Jesus Himself stood
in the midst" Jesus was no longer
under the limitations which hampered
His body before death Peace be
unto you" This common Hebrew sal
utation carried new force as it fell
from the lips of the risen Saviour
Jesus had been born the Prince of
Peace
V. 81 Terrified and affrighted."
Frightened, as. mortals generally have
been by the supernatural. "A spirit -
We would say, a ghost; a being lack
ing material substance.
" SO. why are We troubled" If
you are sad because You thought me
forever gone, why are you not glad
at my return? Why do thoughts
arise?" Why do you seek to reason
away what simple faith should ac-
cept with great joy-the fact that I
still live?
V. 80. Behold My hands and My
feet" These bore still the nail-prints
and proved His identity. Handle
Me-" Divine love and patience were
willing to do anything to satisfy and
convince these doubling ones.
V. Al. Believed not for joy" First
establishment, then fear, and now joy,
hindered the action of their faith.
V. 43. Did eat" The apostles re-
| ferred to this as a convincing proof Of
their Lords resurrection acts load.
V. A. These verses give a condens-
ed summary of the teaching Jesus
gave the disciples during the 40 days
| following his resurrection. These are
! the words which | spake" In the light
of these events you understand the
words | spoke to you long ago (such
as Luke 1S:31-34. while | was yet
with you" While / visibly dwelt on
earth as a man. Must be fulfilled"
Jesus life, death and resurrection
were necessary TO mans salvation,
and as such had been infinitely fore
told in Scripture "The law
prophets E. psalms" The accepted
Jewish divisions Of the Old Testament.
Each division of the Old Testament
teaches of Jesus.
V. 40. Opened their understand
ing" Jesus had gained new power
through his death and resurrection.
V. 46. Thus il is written" In many
prophetic words, such as Gen. 3:15;
Elk. -; lisa. 50, etc. ITO suffer e.. and
TO rise These are the two essential
features or the Gospel
V. AZ. Repentance" Sorrow for
sin and turning from Il. "Remis-
sions." Forgiveness of sin and escape
from it. I'm HIS name" On Jesus
authority, and because through Him
men are enabled to escape from sin.
Among all nations" This commission
is more explicitly given by another
evangelist. Beginning at Jerusalem. 4"
IL was most important that in the very
city where the great events connected
with Jesus took place, their full i'm
port should be fearlessly and triumph
antly proclaimed.
V. IS. "Ye are witnesses" The apos-
/ ties had been with Jesus several years
witnessing His miracles and listening
to His teachings; they witnessed His
crucifixion, His resurrection, and were
soon TO witness His ascension.
