How we come to know Jesus: with our mind

Luke 24:
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

Pastor Allen's second point:

We come to know Jesus with our mind.

It has always been a comfort to me that as Christians we do not have "kiss our brains good-bye"! I understand that we walk by faith, not by sight, but even the foot (the stepping organ) has to get some kind of instruction from the brain! And in this passage, Jesus lovingly took the disciples back to the scriptures to help them make sense of His resurrection, setting a pattern of reliance on God's Word that we should continue to follow when discerning the works of God.

I have always loved this particular illustration (above) of the road to Emmaus, because it gives Jesus a location in time and space - His feet are completely grounded, so to speak. And it shows His closeness to the disciples, as they walk along as companions. We need Jesus to walk with us, and He does.
