Reader’s Guide: “The Word for Today” Thursday, April 11, 2013 Read – Isaiah 50 We find the third “servant song” in Isaiah 50 and once again we see how reading these words in light of the experience of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection is helpful in understanding and recognizing Jesus. We may have wished that Luke would have told us specifically where Jesus turned in the Old Testament to interpret the death and resurrection of Jesus for the Emmaus road travelers – but on the other hand maybe it is much better to be forced to do that on our own. Do you begin to see how the events of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection led the first followers of Jesus to read the Old Testament with new eyes? What a privilege for us too!
