Christ Reveals God's Mystery
[H]e interpreted to them what referred to him in all the scriptures. Luke 24.27
As the disciples and Jesus continue their journey, he explains for them how his identity and meaning are revealed in the Scriptures. They begin to see that, through him, the mystery of God is revealed. Jesus will be the lens through which the same mystery is revealed to us today.
