This passage is about two disciples who were returning to Jerusalem and Jesus appeared to them after his resurrection. At the time, they did not know it was Jesus.
What a day! Taking a 7 mile walk back home and the Messiah himself interprets to you all the scriptures concerning himself. You may have a favorite pastor (I have several), but I can guarantee their interpretations are not as on point as Jesus's are.
I don't know if when we are in Paradise with our Lord if we will just know things we don't know here or if we will be taught them. But this passage made me think of a day when our Savior himself teaches us all things concerning himself. Like a giant lecture hall, reminiscent of my days at NC State.
What seminary student wouldn't sign up for that class:
Old & New Testament Interpretations 501
Teacher: Jesus
Isaiah 1:2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth;
for the Lord has spoken:
Man, this verse just hit me the other day. I've read it before, but it stuck out to me this time and so I paused and just thought about it for a while. It made me think of believers and non-believers alike. Listen, the Lord has spoken. So if you don't believe in a Creator or God, let's for a second just assume you do. Now that we're all on the same page that there is a being that created us and sustains us. Imagine him speaking. We should probably listen. We line up and pay extreme prices to hear speakers today and yet it costs us a few bucks to purchase the words of our creator (or free online).
Listen... the LORD has spoken! Not your favorite actor. Not your favorite President. Not your favorite athlete.
The freakin' creator of all that exists--> has spoken. Wow.
you had me at hello.
