He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and Psalms." - Luke 24:44
There's a hint of "I told you so" here. There's also a little dash of "How do you not believe this?" When Jesus is saying this, in my mind, he's not using a compassionate voice, He's more disappointed than anything else. It's almost like You expect us to understand things that You say.
But, some times it's difficult. I mean, I don't know how many times You told these guys this, but there are a few times in Scripture where You say something and it's a little unclear what You meant. However, I keep on going back to this. It's more of a heart thing than a mind thing. If You were disappointed, I still believe it was because their hearts were not open enough to the Spirit, or else they would have understood.
And I guess that's what everything really comes down to. Are our hearts open to Your Spirit? For me, right now, not so much. Even when I try to do stuff to open it up, not so much. Can't wait for tomorrow's verse.
