Luke 24:44 Then he said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46 and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47 and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things.
This chapter is Luke's account of the resurrection. He pictures the followers of Jesus as bewildered after the events surrounding the Crucifixion, and even lacking clarity after the Resurrection. The fog was lifted after Jesus appeared to the two on the way, and later to the fuller gathering of disciples. Jesus not only reminded them of what He had been saying all along, but also helped them put more pieces of the puzzle together concerning His life, ministry, and atoning work. This helped them understand what they were to do. In the same way, the more we allow Him to teach us and trust Him to lead us, we will know what way to go.
