And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself. (Luke:24:27)
The Scriptures contains truth concerning about ourselves too just like it has about Jesus. Many times we miss those attributing it to someone else. What the Bible says about you and me had to be taken as it is for ourselves and shouldn't be missed. Jesus believed what the prophets had said about Him and His obedience to GOD enabled Him to see all that was spoken about Him come to pass. The disciples missed the truth concerning Jesus that was written in the Scriptures. Jesus attributes it to the condition of their hearts for being slow to recognize this truth. (Luke:24:25) We must have a humble heart and one that is quick to recognize what is being said about us in the Scriptures unlike the disciples.
Sin can harden our hearts like it did for David. When David sinned against the Lord by illegally marrying Bathsheba, the Lord sent prophet Nathan to condemn David's actions. When Nathan indirectly confronted David with a story, he didn't realize it was him that Nathan was referring to. "David burned with anger against the man and said to Nathan, “As surely as the Lord lives, the man who did this must die! He must pay for that lamb four times over, because he did such a thing and had no pity.” Then Nathan said to David, “You are the man! (II Samuel:12:5-7) This is because of the sin that David had committed that he couldn't realize the words that's being spoken about him by the prophet.
The Bible says a lot of things about us, individually. We shouldn't be in a proud state of mind and overlook some of those things saying "It's not for me, I am fine in front of GOD". We should be always humble before GOD and ask the Holy Spirit's guidance while reading the Scriptures. It's more important that we recognize things that are being said about us in the Bible first, rather than about someone else.
Blessings!
