“And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.” Luke 24:27
Jesus is not only the one glorious Subject of the Scriptures — He is their one effectual and unerring Expounder and Revealer.
As I bend over the holy Book — my Master will make His voice known to my mind, my conscience, and my heart. Are not these faculties of His creating and fashioning? And does He not use them for the disclosure to me of His purpose and His love? By the avenues of my own nature, which He comprehends well, and to which He has many modes of access — my Saviour draws near me.
The discipline of my life is His instrument, too, for the explanation and unfolding of His Word. In weakness and sorrow — many a text grows plain to me. In difficult duty — many a promise glows with a new light. In temptation — many a precept and sacred example shine out as they never did formerly. This, also, comes from my Lord, who is wonderful in His counsel and excellent in His working.
Most of all, the Holy Spirit is His Interpreter. It is He who makes the Bible living, powerful, and active. He helps me to hear in each of its sentences the “yes” of heaven — strong, sufficient, final. He renders it all profitable to me — for my teaching, my reproof and correction, my guidance and consolation. And He is my dear Master’s Deputy and Ambassador.
Thus Jesus, though He walks no longer in visible form along the highways of my world — continues to expound to me the things in the Scriptures which concern Himself and myself.
