Message: “Jesus Opens our Minds!” from Tom Leonard

Jesus Opens Our Minds! Luke 24:44-53 Main Point: Jesus will open your mind to Spiritual Truth of who He is and what He has done! Another example - Matthew 16:13-17 v.44 = The Law, Prophets, Psalms = the whole of the old covenant scriptures. 1. v.45 The disciples did not understand the plan of salvation The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing… I Corinthians 1:18-19 This helps us with our evangelism > The Lord Jesus Christ is the Messiah, who suffered and died for our sins, and rose from the dead. 2. v.46 The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead… We would think of: Dt 18:15 (quoted by Peter in Acts 3:22) Psalm 22:1 ‘My God, my God why have you forsaken me?’ Jesus cries this out on the cross Matthew 27:46 Psalm 16:10 ‘Because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your holy one see decay.’ Isaiah 53:4-11 ‘Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering… He was pierced for our transgressions… 3. v.47 ‘Repentance for the forgiveness of sins…’
