On the evening of the first Easter, two disciples walked the road to Emmaus with heavy hearts. Then Jesus came alongside them. Beginning with Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, He opened the Scriptures to show that the Messiah must suffer, die, and rise again. Their sorrow turned to joy, and they said to one another, “Did not our hearts burn within us?”

This book is an attempt to reconstruct what that extraordinary Bible study might have included. Organized into four sections: the Books of Moses, the Psalms, the Prophets, and the Suffering Servant, it traces the Old Testament promises that point to Christ. With Scripture links, devotional reflections, discussion questions, and prayers, it offers a rich guide for personal study or group discussion.

Along the way you’ll be invited to consider:

• How the earliest promises in Scripture point directly to Christ’s work.

• Why the Psalms are central to understanding the Messiah.

• How the prophets proclaimed both His suffering and His glory.

• What it means to share the disciples’ joy and “tell the story” today.

Whether read alone or with others, On the Road to Emmaus: What Jesus Taught invites you to walk with Jesus through the Scriptures, and to let your own heart burn within you.
