Jesus opened their minds to understand the scriptures

Luke 24:35-48

Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. As they were saying this, Jesus himself stood among them. But they were startled and frightened, and supposed that they saw a spirit. And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have." And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them. Then he said to them, "These are my words which 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." Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.

Parehas ra gadjud kita sa mga apostoles – dili motuo sa isa ka butang o isa ka sitwasyon hangtud hikit-an gadjud nan ato mga mata. An mga ebanghelyo makapamatuod nan kamatuoran nan pagkabanhaw. Taningkamutan gadjud ni Hesus para lamang mahipaabot sa mga desipulo na dili sidja kon multo o ilusyon lamang an idja reyalidad. Idja pa gani tagpakita dila an mga samad nan idja pagka-langsang sa crus sanan idja pa tag-esplikar an kamatuoran nan nahisuyat sa biblia nan idja pagkamatay sanan pagkabanhaw.

Demudo, an pinka-sentro nan ebanghelyo, an crus, pero dili pa kita muhunong dinhi. Pinaagi sa crus, tag-lupig ni Hesus an ato mga kontra, an kamatadjon sanan si Satanas sanan an kadaugan nidja para sa pagpasaylo sa to mga kasay-anan. An idja crus an ato pultahan sa langit sanan liyabe sa kalangitan. Amo na an pinaka-una na mga desipulo, tag-komisyon nidja na magpadayag nan maradjaw na balita para sa pagka-salbar nan tanan mga nasyon – amo sab ini an panaawagan para sa ato tanan na mahimo kita na testigos sa pagkabanhaw ni Hesukristo sa tanan mga tawo sa ibabaw nan kalibutan. Motestigo ba ikaw nan imo hingkamtan na kalipay gikan sa ebanghelyo sa mga tawo na nakapalibot dimo?
