Summary
And when we know Christ, which I think we all would say we do, when we know Christ, we can turn to His Word, and we can find and mark the benefits, and we know that because we know Christ, we will see Him in His Word. And heresy after heresy arises because of incorrect Christology, incorrect understanding of who Jesus is. Verse 25, Jesus said to them, oh, how foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have declared foolish men. So Jesus is telling them, you should know, you should know through the prophets and the scriptures, all that the prophets have declared this thread of grace that runs throughout the whole of scripture. To know His benefits is to know Christ to know that Christ entered into humanity, that Christ entered in living a perfect life, sinless, righteous, to know that Christ suffered death on the cross, taking the iniquity bearing the sin, the transgressions of every single one of us, to know that Christ rose triumphantly from the grave, to know that He walked with these two disciples teaching them, leading them, guiding them, to know that Christ washes us clean in the waters of baptism calling us as His own, to know that Christ feeds us with His own body and blood in the hour sins, the tangible grace of Christ, to know the benefits of Christ is to know Christ for us. What He opens to us every single time, we read scripture every single time we hear His word proclaimed, He opens Himself to us, that Jesus is the living word of God, that He is our mediator, He is our demer, and through His blood we are reconciled to the Father.
