He interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures

SUNDAY 26 APRIL (Lk 24,13-35)

There are several ways of explaining Scriptures. The first way, which is the most common, is to force the Word to serve our thought of lies, falsehoods and sin. This is the way used by scribes and Pharisees of all time. Both Jeremiah and Jesus denounce this satanic modality: “How can you say, “We are wise, we have the law of the Lord”? Why, that has been changed into falsehood by the lying pen of the scribes! The wise are confounded, dismayed and ensnared; Since they have rejected the word of the Lord, of what avail is their wisdom?“ (Jer 8,8-9). Moreover, the Father who sent me has testified on my behalf. But you have never heard his voice nor seen his form, and you do not have his word remaining in you, because you do not believe in the one whom he has sent. You search the scriptures, because you think you have eternal life through them; even they testify on my behalf. But you do not want to come to me to have life. Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father: the one who will accuse you is Moses, in whom you have placed your hope. For if you had believed Moses, you would have believed me, because he wrote about me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”” (Jn 5,37-47). To enslave Scripture to one’s own thought is a sin against the Holy Spirit. Truth is transformed into a lie and falsehood is professed in the name of the Holy Spirit.

Now that very day two of them were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus, and they were conversing about all the things that had occurred. And it happened that while they were conversing and debating, Jesus himself drew near and walked with them, but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him. He asked them, “What are you discussing as you walk along?” They stopped, looking downcast. One of them, named Cleopas, said to him in reply, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know of the things that have taken place there in these days?” And he replied to them, “What sort of things?” They said to him, “The things that happened to Jesus the Nazarene, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, how our chief priests and rulers both handed him over to a sentence of death and crucified him. But we were hoping that he would be the one to redeem Israel; and besides all this, it is now the third day since this took place. Some women from our group, however, have astounded us: they were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his body; they came back and reported that they had indeed seen a vision of angels who announced that he was alive. Then some of those with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women had described, but him they did not see.”

And he said to them, “Oh, how foolish you are! How slow of heart to believe all that the prophets spoke! Was it not necessary that the Messiah should suffer these things and enter into his glory?” Then beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures. As they approached the village to which they were going, he gave the impression that he was going on farther. But they urged him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them. And it happened that, while he was with them at table, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them. With that their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight. Then they said to each other, “Were not our hearts burning (within us) while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?” So they set out at once and returned to Jerusalem where they found gathered together the eleven and those with them who were saying, “The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!” Then the two recounted what had taken place on the way and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.

The true way to read and explain the Scriptures is from full obedience to their truth and to their every command. With life we ​​show what they say, order and command and with the Word hearts are illuminated with the light of truth and justice that emanates from them. Jesus explains the Scriptures from their complete fulfillment in his body, in his spirit and in his soul. He gives the sum light of Scriptures. No light is like his. He is the Crucified and the Risen One. He illuminates the mystery of his Crucifixion from the glory of the Resurrection. Unfortunately today the Scriptures are reduced to a lie by the lying style of its interpreters. Either we return to the purity of the truth and light contained in them, or we will be consumed, devoured and reduced to dust by falsehood and lies, which are uttered in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Spirit.

Mother of God, Angels, and Saints ensure that Scripture manifests all its light for us.
