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 proclaimed in his name to all nations,
beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.
(Luke 24:45-48)
the purpose of them understanding the scriptures is nicely summarised here
at the end of Luke's gospel. The central theme of the Bible is Jesus death
and resurrection, repentance and forgiveness. that's the meesage that is
to be proclaimed to everyone, everywhere. That message has changed our lives
and we are witnesses of that message, not salespeople.
