经文: 凡经上所指着自己的话，都给他们讲解明白了。（路加福音二十四：27）
往以马忤斯去的两位门徒确实有了一次丰富的旅行。他们的同伴和老师是最佳导师。这位讲解者是无与伦比的，因为一切智慧知识藏在祂里面（参阅西二：3）。主耶稣屈尊成为福音的宣讲者，祂并不会因为只有两位听众而疏于行祂的使命。祂甚至不会拒绝只教导一个人。让我们恳求能与这位杰出的导师作伴。这位无双的导师使用最佳著作作为祂的教本。虽然可以启示新的真理，但祂宁愿讲解老旧的故事。藉着讲述摩西和众先知，祂向我们指明导向智慧的路不是臆测、推理或阅读人类的哲学，乃是默想上帝的话语。要获得天国智识中属灵的财宝就要挖掘这座钻石矿和从天国的海洋中采集珍珠。当耶稣要使人致富时，祂从圣经的宝矿着手。往以马忤斯的路上这两位受竉的门徒学习了最佳的课题，耶稣向他们讲解了有关祂自己的事。将宝贝埋藏于田里的那位，引导搜寻者到达该地。我们的主总是自然地讨论这些甜美的题目。除祂自己和祂的工作以外，别无更甜美之事了。我们应当常常寻觅上帝的话。感谢上帝，让我们能以耶稣为导师、为题目、与祂一同研读圣经！

Scripture: “He expounded unto them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”(Luke 24:27)
The two disciples on the road to Emmaus had a most profitable journey. Their companion and teacher was the best of tutors; the interpreter one of a thousand, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The Lord Jesus condescended to become a preacher of the gospel, and he was not ashamed to exercise his calling before an audience of two persons, neither does he now refuse to become the teacher of even one. Let us court the company of so excellent an Instructor, for till he is made unto us wisdom we shall never be wise unto salvation.
This unrivalled tutor used as his class-book the best of books. Although able to reveal fresh truth, he preferred to expound the old. He knew by his omniscience what was the most instructive way of teaching, and by turning at once to Moses and the prophets, he showed us that the surest road to wisdom is not speculation, reasoning, or reading human books, but meditation upon the Word of God. The readiest way to be spiritually rich in heavenly knowledge is to dig in this mine of diamonds, to gather pearls from this heavenly sea. When Jesus himself sought to enrich others, he wrought in the quarry of Holy Scripture.
The favoured pair were led to consider the best of subjects, for Jesus spake of Jesus, and expounded the things concerning himself. Here the diamond cut the diamond, and what could be more admirable? The Master of the House unlocked his own doors, conducted the guests to his table, and placed his own dainties upon it. He who hid the treasure in the field himself guided the searchers to it. Our Lord would naturally discourse upon the sweetest of topics, and he could find none sweeter than his own person and work: with an eye to these we should always search the Word. O for grace to study the Bible with Jesus as both our teacher and our lesson!
