REASON

REASON

“And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.” Luke 24:15 cf. vs. 25-27

reason  the power of the mind to think, understand, and form judgments by a process of logic. 

These men while reasoning were not considering all the facts which logically led to the answer they searched for. They failed to consider the words of God they had heard their whole lives from the OT. This Jesus brought into the picture as stated in vs.25-27. When considering all the prophets words He was the Messiah sent for their salvation and belief. Paul did this in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 and it was called the gospel, not only His death and burial but also His resurrection, all according to the scriptures which is the only true source to base your reasoning to form your logical conclusion.

“Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:  Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.”

“Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,  and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
