The Emmaus disciples had just told
And then Jesus says they are slow to believe in all that the prophets have spoken. I'd always thought He was saying, "Why didn't you believe the women? Why didn't you believe the angels? Why didn't you believe the evidence?" But that wasn't what He said. It was "Why didn't you believe the Old Testament?"
Here we've got an empty tomb. And angels passing along messages. And an ecstatic Mary who got to hug Jesus that morning, and then have the men think she was nutso. And Jesus doesn't say, "Why didn't you believe them?" No. It was "Why didn't you believe what Moses said? what David said? what Isaiah said?"
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
