In the Bible, in the book of Luke chapter 24, we read an account of two people walking along the road going to Emmaus. While they talked Jesus came along and began to walk with them. After spending time with him and realizing who he was, they ran back to Jerusa-lem to tell the others. But after they found the other, they learned that Jesus had appeared to others as well. As they were telling them about their experi-ence and discussing the matter, Jesus appeared with them. They bacame afraid and thought they were seeing a Ghost. Jesus asked for food and ate it to show them that he was no apparition and was alive.

After Jesus had eaten the food, Jesus said that while he was with them he told them that all things concerning him must be fullfilled that was written in the Law fo Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. Then we read that he opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures.

Minister’s Corner In this time we can

see that there are many people that think they have understanding of what the Bible means on a variety of topics and circumstances. But they are trying to comprehend something with their own reasoning that can only be understood by the revela-tion to the human mind by the spirit of God. Paul said it is an impartation from the Spirit of God, (or the mind of God), to the Spirit of Man,(or the mind of man). In view of some of the recent rulings of secular court and some of the opinions of some “religious “ leaders in lieu of those rulings, it leaves one to wonder who they are listeng to and where they are getting their knowledge.

Scripture is spiritually inspiered and can only be spiritually discerned. I think that to take scrip-ture and try to put secu-lar cloak on it, takes away from God’s intended pur-pose. Which is, to show the reflection of man’s sin, God’s holiness and his detest for that sin, and the mercy and redemp-tion God has given to man through Jesus Christ to pardon that sin. To try and use scripture to excuse that sin, (What-ever that sin maybe), is sin. We need to repent.
