Commentary on Luke 24:27

Theological / Devotional

Beginning at Moses. The OT contains many passages to which Christ might have made reference (see on Gen. 3:15; Ex. 12:5; Num. 21:9; 24:17; Deut. 18:15; Ps. 22:1, 8, 16, 18; Isa. 7:14; 9:6, 7; 50:6; 53; Jer. 23:5; Micah 5:2; Zech. 9:9; 12:10; 13:7; Mai. 3:1; 4:2; etc.).

Expounded. That is, explained or interpreted.

All the scriptures. It was a vital point in the teachings of Jesus that “all the scriptures” of the OT look forward to His Messianic work. For a summary of the way in which the OT writers were guided in the delineation of the life mission of the Messiah see on Matt. 1:22. Misguided men who deprecate the OT reveal little knowledge of the high esteem in which Christ held those sacred, inspired writings. Those who study and believe the OT, written by the hand of Moses and others, will find Christ therein (see on John 5:39, 46). Christ Himself warned that those who minimize the importance and value of the OT do not really believe in Him (see on John 5:47).
