Q. What did Jesus mean by “ 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 the Psalms.” Luke 24:44? I know the prophets shared about Jesus but what exactly was written about him in the law of Moses and Psalms?

Psalm 22 talks about Jesus on the cross before crucifixion was even invented. Moses mentioned masonic prophesies which I would have to look up.

I believe your question is generally answered in the next few verses, 24:45-49.

“Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, and said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance for the forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.””

“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him. This is according to all that you asked of the Lord your God in Horeb on the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God, let me not see this great fire anymore, or I will die.’ The Lord said to me, ‘They have spoken well. I will raise up a prophet from among their countrymen like you, and I will put My words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I command him. It shall come about that whoever will not listen to My words which he shall speak in My name, I Myself will require it of him.
— Deuteronomy 18:15-19

The law points to Jesus. Jesus came to fulfill the law. I used to find the portions of The Bible with the law, including Leviticus, very tedious, but it changes when you start seeing Jesus everywhere. The way it’s written after you see it, you can’t help it. If you look throughout the Old Testament, it mentions meditating on the law seemingly more than it ever says to follow it. Why? What is there to meditate about? It’s the law, right? Pretty straightforward, even if hard to follow. Why does it need, as it says right at the beginning in the first two verses of the Psalms, for one to meditate on it?

Psalm 1: 1-2

1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

I don’t think this is the right interpretation of this text. Have written a response below and wanted to make sure you saw it.

I think a lot of us in this thread need to do a little more reading on Exegetical Bible interpretation. It really helps to have this skill when trying to understand any portion of text, but especially historical text like the Bible.

The first thing to understand would be context. Who was Jesus speaking to, what was the situation, what exactly was he communicating, and how does it apply to us?

@Senior Consultant 2: While what you’ve written isn’t wrong per se, it doesn’t address OP’s question or explain Jesus’ words here. The context was that Jesus has just appeared to his disciples after resurrection. They were stunned, and still didn’t understand what had just happened. As Accenture 1 pointed out, here Jesus was telling them to go back and read the law, the prophets and the Psalms (really to go back and read the scriptures) to see that they predicted his death and resurrection. This portion of text has nothing to do with the law itself as you’ve written. It’s about the plan of Salvation through Jesus’ death and resurrection.

Finally, how this portion of scripture applies to us: Many ways. For me, what I take away: First, it’s God who gives us understanding of spiritual things by “opening our minds”. It’s good to pray for wisdom. Second, it’s also good to acquaint ourselves with scripture, as Jesus was encouraging his disciples here. Lots of other ways but I wanted to give an example of what Exegesis looks like before we arrive at application. First and foremost, it’s important to understand the greater historical context.
