"Then opened He their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures."

Opened = dianoigō =

Open thoroughly what had been closed.

Opening of the eyes and the ears.

Opening of the mind.

Cause to understand.

Arousal of the mind, understanding and desire.

This is the ONLY way one grasps the articulations of scripture !
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?
