2
\n00:00:04,400 –> 00:00:09,560
\nGood morning, Bible School.
\nIt’s Friday. <\/p>\n
3
\n00:00:09,560 –> 00:00:14,400
\nWhere did the week go?
\nAll right, today’s topic is the <\/p>\n
4
\n00:00:14,400 –> 00:00:17,360
\nonly visitor.
\nBefore we jump into that quick <\/p>\n
5
\n00:00:17,360 –> 00:00:20,960
\nquestion, was anybody surprised
\nyesterday how many times food <\/p>\n
6
\n00:00:20,960 –> 00:00:24,280
\ncomes up in Luke’s gospel?
\nIt’s pretty crazy, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
7
\n00:00:24,280 –> 00:00:28,200
\nAnd I can’t believe I miss it,
\nwhether Pete reminded me of <\/p>\n
8
\n00:00:28,200 –> 00:00:31,000
\nanother one.
\nWhat was the first miracle <\/p>\n
9
\n00:00:31,400 –> 00:00:35,200
\nperformed by Christ?
\nWater to wine again, another <\/p>\n
10
\n00:00:35,200 –> 00:00:38,880
\nfood one and again the the first
\nmiracle, water to wine, the <\/p>\n
11
\n00:00:38,880 –> 00:00:42,840
\nfirst temptation to turn bread.
\nWe see this theme beautifully, I<\/p>\n
12
\n00:00:42,840 –> 00:00:46,680
\nthink, taken through us, taken
\nwith us throughout Christ’s <\/p>\n
13
\n00:00:46,680 –> 00:00:49,360
\njourney to Jerusalem.
\nSo thank you guys very much for <\/p>\n
14
\n00:00:49,360 –> 00:00:51,520
\nyour comments and questions
\nafter the classes. <\/p>\n
15
\n00:00:52,320 –> 00:00:54,160
\nThey’ve been appreciated.
\nOK, so we’re going to talk today<\/p>\n
16
\n00:00:54,160 –> 00:00:57,480
\nabout the only visitor.
\nWe’re going to be talking today <\/p>\n
17
\n00:00:57,480 –> 00:01:02,800
\nbased in Luke chapter 20 four,
\nwhat we did yesterday is we <\/p>\n
18
\n00:01:02,800 –> 00:01:06,840
\nentered into Jerusalem.
\nIt was a bit rushed yesterday, <\/p>\n
19
\n00:01:06,840 –> 00:01:10,800
\nbut we did make it there.
\nChrist enters into the the <\/p>\n
20
\n00:01:10,800 –> 00:01:15,040
\ntemple and T as we see in
\nMatthews account, he overthrows <\/p>\n
21
\n00:01:15,040 –> 00:01:19,360
\nthe tables, the money changers.
\nOnly one table belongs in the <\/p>\n
22
\n00:01:19,360 –> 00:01:21,720
\ntemple.
\nThere’s the table of showbread <\/p>\n
23
\n00:01:21,720 –> 00:01:25,640
\nand again, another little food,
\nquick food teaser for you. <\/p>\n
24
\n00:01:25,880 –> 00:01:31,680
\nBut he enters into the temple.
\nHe he removes the the den of <\/p>\n
25
\n00:01:31,680 –> 00:01:35,600
\nthieves from there he is
\ncrucified. <\/p>\n
26
\n00:01:36,280 –> 00:01:40,440
\nHe is resurrected.
\nAnd we come then to Luke chapter<\/p>\n
27
\n00:01:40,440 –> 00:01:43,760
\n24.
\nNow, as we’ve seen so far in our<\/p>\n
28
\n00:01:43,760 –> 00:01:49,680
\nsessions, a very, very, very
\nlarge majority of the people who<\/p>\n
29
\n00:01:49,680 –> 00:01:53,920
\nChrist came into contact with
\nwere confused as to the purpose <\/p>\n
30
\n00:01:54,040 –> 00:01:56,800
\nof why Jesus came.
\nWe’re going to look at a few of <\/p>\n
31
\n00:01:56,800 –> 00:02:00,080
\nthose to kind of start us off
\ntoday, because the theme for <\/p>\n
32
\n00:02:00,080 –> 00:02:05,120
\ntoday is, do we actually know,
\ndo we actually recognize who <\/p>\n
33
\n00:02:05,360 –> 00:02:08,320
\nJesus is?
\nThat’s what Luke 24 is trying to<\/p>\n
34
\n00:02:08,320 –> 00:02:13,440
\nshow to us is do we see who
\nJesus is or do we miss him? <\/p>\n
35
\n00:02:13,600 –> 00:02:16,640
\nDo we do we confuse him with
\nsomebody He’s not? <\/p>\n
36
\n00:02:17,320 –> 00:02:20,120
\nSo Luke chapter 24.
\nSo we’re going to start off, but<\/p>\n
37
\n00:02:20,160 –> 00:02:25,240
\nlet’s get some context here to
\nsee who so far in our journeys <\/p>\n
38
\n00:02:26,160 –> 00:02:29,720
\nhas kind of missed the point,
\nhas kind of missed who Jesus <\/p>\n
39
\n00:02:29,720 –> 00:02:32,200
\nwas, why he came so on and so
\nforth. <\/p>\n
40
\n00:02:32,200 –> 00:02:35,200
\nSo the first place we’re going
\nto go is Luke chapter 2 turns me<\/p>\n
41
\n00:02:35,200 –> 00:02:37,480
\nto Luke chapter 2.
\nThis is the beginning we’re <\/p>\n
42
\n00:02:37,480 –> 00:02:46,400
\ngoing to see in Luke chapter 2
\nin verse verse 49. <\/p>\n
43
\n00:02:46,400 –> 00:02:48,280
\nWe know this is the the visit
\nthe temple. <\/p>\n
44
\n00:02:48,520 –> 00:02:50,640
\nAnd he said to them, how is that
\nyou sought me? <\/p>\n
45
\n00:02:50,640 –> 00:02:53,480
\nHe says to his parents, whiskey
\nnot that I must be about my <\/p>\n
46
\n00:02:53,480 –> 00:02:57,240
\nfather’s business.
\nAnd they understood not the <\/p>\n
47
\n00:02:57,240 –> 00:03:00,960
\nsaying which he spake unto them.
\nSo the first person we get is <\/p>\n
48
\n00:03:00,960 –> 00:03:04,480
\nhis mother.
\nHis mother is confused as to <\/p>\n
49
\n00:03:04,480 –> 00:03:07,000
\nwhat he was doing and maybe to
\nthe purpose, at least at this <\/p>\n
50
\n00:03:07,000 –> 00:03:09,960
\npoint in his life.
\nThe next group we want to go to <\/p>\n
51
\n00:03:09,960 –> 00:03:12,400
\nis in Luke Chapter 9.
\nLuke Chapter 9, we’re given <\/p>\n
52
\n00:03:12,400 –> 00:03:15,320
\nanother group who’s confused as
\nto why Jesus has come. <\/p>\n
53
\n00:03:17,080 –> 00:03:20,400
\nLuke Chapter 9 verse 18.
\nAnd it came to pass as he was <\/p>\n
54
\n00:03:20,400 –> 00:03:23,160
\nalone praying, His disciples
\nwere with him. <\/p>\n
55
\n00:03:23,160 –> 00:03:26,800
\nAnd he asked them saying, who do
\nthe people say I am? <\/p>\n
56
\n00:03:28,240 –> 00:03:31,040
\nThey answering said John the
\nBaptist. <\/p>\n
57
\n00:03:31,040 –> 00:03:35,320
\nSome say Elias, others say one
\nof the old prophets is risen <\/p>\n
58
\n00:03:35,320 –> 00:03:38,360
\nagain.
\nSo the crowds, the people didn’t<\/p>\n
59
\n00:03:38,360 –> 00:03:44,640
\nunderstand who Jesus was we saw
\nyesterday and basically the rest<\/p>\n
60
\n00:03:44,640 –> 00:03:48,000
\nof the week.
\nLuke 1834 tells us they, the <\/p>\n
61
\n00:03:48,000 –> 00:03:49,800
\ndisciples understood none of
\nthese things. <\/p>\n
62
\n00:03:49,920 –> 00:03:52,000
\nThis saying was hid from them
\nneither they knew that the <\/p>\n
63
\n00:03:52,000 –> 00:03:55,240
\nthings which were spoken that
\nthe apostles, the 12 chosen by <\/p>\n
64
\n00:03:55,240 –> 00:03:59,800
\nChrist missed who he was, missed
\nhis purpose, missed the reason <\/p>\n
65
\n00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:02,720
\nfor his journey to Jerusalem.
\nNow especially as we come near <\/p>\n
66
\n00:04:02,720 –> 00:04:06,480
\nto the end, Luke chapter 20
\nverse one, it says, and it came <\/p>\n
67
\n00:04:06,480 –> 00:04:09,160
\nto pass on one of those days as
\nhe taught to the people in the <\/p>\n
68
\n00:04:09,160 –> 00:04:14,400
\ntemple and preached the gospel,
\nthe chief priests scribes came <\/p>\n
69
\n00:04:14,400 –> 00:04:18,079
\nupon him with the elders and
\nspake unto him saying, tell us <\/p>\n
70
\n00:04:18,079 –> 00:04:22,240
\nby what authority do you do
\nthese things or who is it that <\/p>\n
71
\n00:04:22,240 –> 00:04:25,720
\ngave you this authority?
\nSo the leaders of the religious <\/p>\n
72
\n00:04:25,720 –> 00:04:30,680
\norganization based in Jerusalem
\nwere also now confused. <\/p>\n
73
\n00:04:31,240 –> 00:04:35,000
\nThey’d misunderstood why Jesus
\nwas sent. <\/p>\n
74
\n00:04:36,280 –> 00:04:41,360
\nThis is a lot of people who miss
\ncompletely why Jesus was sent to<\/p>\n
75
\n00:04:41,360 –> 00:04:44,280
\nJerusalem.
\nBesides one or two very <\/p>\n
76
\n00:04:44,280 –> 00:04:47,880
\nperceptive people at his birth
\nand his death, his ministry went<\/p>\n
77
\n00:04:47,880 –> 00:04:51,680
\nlargely misunderstood.
\nHis entire journey toward <\/p>\n
78
\n00:04:51,680 –> 00:04:56,680
\nJerusalem was lost on the crowd.
\nHow many people in his day <\/p>\n
79
\n00:04:56,800 –> 00:05:01,360
\nexpected a Moses like person?
\nHow many people in his day <\/p>\n
80
\n00:05:01,560 –> 00:05:07,040
\nwanted a Moses like person?
\nSomebody who would, who would go<\/p>\n
81
\n00:05:07,040 –> 00:05:11,920
\ninto Lee of the Romans and say,
\nlet my people go, if you don’t, <\/p>\n
82
\n00:05:12,200 –> 00:05:15,640
\nwe’ll send plagues upon all the
\nRoman Empire. <\/p>\n
83
\n00:05:15,680 –> 00:05:18,680
\nHow many people wanted that man
\nto March into Jerusalem? <\/p>\n
84
\n00:05:19,680 –> 00:05:24,160
\nIt’s no wonder that when he’s
\ncaptured, the people say, yeah, <\/p>\n
85
\n00:05:24,160 –> 00:05:28,080
\nyeah, yeah, crucify him.
\nHe’s done nothing for us to help<\/p>\n
86
\n00:05:28,080 –> 00:05:33,320
\nus against the Romans.
\nThey missed the man that was <\/p>\n
87
\n00:05:33,320 –> 00:05:36,800
\nright there in front of him.
\nThey didn’t see him even though <\/p>\n
88
\n00:05:36,800 –> 00:05:40,880
\nhe stood right there.
\nThat’s Luke 24. <\/p>\n
89
\n00:05:42,600 –> 00:05:45,520
\nJesus wasn’t who they thought he
\nwas. <\/p>\n
90
\n00:05:46,880 –> 00:05:50,040
\nSo when he rides the donkey into
\nthe final chapter of his life, <\/p>\n
91
\n00:05:50,400 –> 00:05:52,520
\nhe’s finally entered into
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
92
\n00:05:52,640 –> 00:05:55,120
\nHe wasn’t there to conquer the
\nRomans. <\/p>\n
93
\n00:05:56,240 –> 00:06:01,680
\nHe was there to conquer a far
\nolder enemy, the reign of sin <\/p>\n
94
\n00:06:01,680 –> 00:06:05,240
\nand death, an enemy that was
\n4000 years old, the one that had<\/p>\n
95
\n00:06:05,240 –> 00:06:08,840
\nconquered all.
\nBut no one understood who Jesus <\/p>\n
96
\n00:06:09,000 –> 00:06:10,840
\ntruly was.
\nWhen Adam and Eve partook of the<\/p>\n
97
\n00:06:10,840 –> 00:06:16,480
\nfruits in the Garden, all they
\nknew was good, that was. <\/p>\n
98
\n00:06:16,480 –> 00:06:19,440
\nWhat was in the world was simply
\ngood. <\/p>\n
99
\n00:06:21,520 –> 00:06:28,520
\nThey had a knowledge of good.
\nEvil became for them a new <\/p>\n
100
\n00:06:28,520 –> 00:06:32,840
\nexperience.
\nThis was what was created when <\/p>\n
101
\n00:06:32,840 –> 00:06:35,920
\nthey sinned.
\nEvil now lived in the world. <\/p>\n
102
\n00:06:36,120 –> 00:06:39,040
\nIt was a piece of fruit and it
\nwas the sin behind it that <\/p>\n
103
\n00:06:39,040 –> 00:06:41,040
\nexposed them to this brand new
\nworld. <\/p>\n
104
\n00:06:41,040 –> 00:06:45,640
\nIt was a one of sin and death.
\nThey understood consequences. <\/p>\n
105
\n00:06:47,240 –> 00:06:51,480
\nAnd so, brothers and sisters, we
\nnow know that if we exercise the<\/p>\n
106
\n00:06:51,480 –> 00:06:56,280
\nbad, we’ve seen in our journey
\nto Jerusalem together that <\/p>\n
107
\n00:06:56,280 –> 00:06:58,400
\nChrist came and to call us to
\nrepentance. <\/p>\n
108
\n00:06:58,600 –> 00:07:01,960
\nIf we exercise the good, we’ve
\nlearned that Christ has now made<\/p>\n
109
\n00:07:01,960 –> 00:07:04,200
\na way through grace and mercy
\nfor us to be saved. <\/p>\n
110
\n00:07:05,160 –> 00:07:11,040
\nSo all this being the purpose of
\nhis journey towards Jerusalem, <\/p>\n
111
\n00:07:11,240 –> 00:07:15,080
\nGod was taking a man, He was
\nturning his Son into the Savior <\/p>\n
112
\n00:07:15,080 –> 00:07:19,760
\nof the world, to rid the world
\nof the evil and to put in it <\/p>\n
113
\n00:07:19,760 –> 00:07:23,360
\nagain good.
\nAll right, so with that context,<\/p>\n
114
\n00:07:23,880 –> 00:07:28,680
\nlet’s come to Luke chapter 24.
\nWe’ve been talking this whole <\/p>\n
115
\n00:07:28,680 –> 00:07:34,120
\nweek about getting to Jerusalem.
\nThat’s been our theme, getting <\/p>\n
116
\n00:07:34,120 –> 00:07:37,440
\nthere.
\nHe steadfastly set his face to <\/p>\n
117
\n00:07:37,440 –> 00:07:40,920
\ngo to Jerusalem.
\nIt was time for him to be taken <\/p>\n
118
\n00:07:40,920 –> 00:07:46,000
\nup.
\nLuke ends his whole book with <\/p>\n
119
\n00:07:46,000 –> 00:07:48,440
\nthe story about leaving
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
120
\n00:07:49,760 –> 00:07:52,960
\nWhy?
\nWhy would Luke end this book <\/p>\n
121
\n00:07:52,960 –> 00:07:55,480
\nwith a story about departing
\nJerusalem? <\/p>\n
122
\n00:07:56,120 –> 00:07:58,320
\nIt’s one of my favorite stories
\nin all of Luke’s gospel. <\/p>\n
123
\n00:08:00,000 –> 00:08:04,800
\nIt’s a story about a couple
\npeople who have no idea who <\/p>\n
124
\n00:08:04,800 –> 00:08:09,440
\nJesus is.
\nHe places immense priority in <\/p>\n
125
\n00:08:09,440 –> 00:08:13,760
\ntalking to them.
\nHe reveals who he is when he <\/p>\n
126
\n00:08:13,800 –> 00:08:19,120
\neats with them.
\nWhat a story Luke concludes his <\/p>\n
127
\n00:08:19,120 –> 00:08:22,520
\nbook with.
\nWhat a mysterious, curious story<\/p>\n
128
\n00:08:22,680 –> 00:08:28,160
\nhe’s going to leave for us.
\nIn Luke chapter 24, a couple <\/p>\n
129
\n00:08:28,160 –> 00:08:33,000
\npeople who don’t recognize him,
\nwho Christ came to save, <\/p>\n
130
\n00:08:34,039 –> 00:08:36,080
\nbrothers and sisters.
\nThis has been Luke’s journey. <\/p>\n
131
\n00:08:36,720 –> 00:08:40,159
\nThis has been Luke’s journey
\nnarrative with Christ. <\/p>\n
132
\n00:08:40,440 –> 00:08:45,680
\nHow many times did Christ save,
\nheal, call somebody completely <\/p>\n
133
\n00:08:45,680 –> 00:08:48,680
\nunexpected?
\nThat’s the point of the journey <\/p>\n
134
\n00:08:48,680 –> 00:08:51,160
\nto Jerusalem.
\nHe’s called everyone, including <\/p>\n
135
\n00:08:51,160 –> 00:08:53,760
\nthese two strangers on the road
\nto Emmaus. <\/p>\n
136
\n00:08:54,120 –> 00:08:57,280
\nHe calls everyone to follow him
\nto Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
137
\n00:08:59,160 –> 00:09:06,240
\nBut even those who follow Christ
\nmay not recognize him. <\/p>\n
138
\n00:09:08,200 –> 00:09:12,080
\nSo we open it up with Luke
\nchapter 24 with a couple people <\/p>\n
139
\n00:09:12,240 –> 00:09:15,920
\nwho are leaving.
\nThey are going to talk to <\/p>\n
140
\n00:09:15,920 –> 00:09:19,240
\nChrist, but they’re not going to
\nrecognize him. <\/p>\n
141
\n00:09:19,400 –> 00:09:24,400
\nNow, this theme here has been
\nreally what Luke is trying to <\/p>\n
142
\n00:09:24,400 –> 00:09:26,640
\nget us to see.
\nThis whole time people were <\/p>\n
143
\n00:09:26,640 –> 00:09:29,320
\nconfused.
\nWe’ve already been opened up by <\/p>\n
144
\n00:09:29,320 –> 00:09:31,400
\nlooking at at everybody who’s
\nbeen confused. <\/p>\n
145
\n00:09:31,400 –> 00:09:36,720
\nYou see, everyone at the time
\ntried to take Jesus and to fit <\/p>\n
146
\n00:09:36,720 –> 00:09:41,880
\nhim into this mold of who they
\nexpected the Messiah to be, they<\/p>\n
147
\n00:09:41,880 –> 00:09:44,040
\nsaid.
\nWe’ve read these things before. <\/p>\n
148
\n00:09:44,160 –> 00:09:47,800
\nWe know who’s coming.
\nIt’s, it’s, it’s someone who’s <\/p>\n
149
\n00:09:47,800 –> 00:09:51,280
\ngoing to deliver us from the
\nRomans and, and, and we know <\/p>\n
150
\n00:09:51,280 –> 00:09:54,040
\nthat, that it needs to be in
\nthis exact picture, this exact <\/p>\n
151
\n00:09:54,040 –> 00:09:55,240
\nshape.
\nAnd we know what he’s going to <\/p>\n
152
\n00:09:55,240 –> 00:09:57,560
\ndo.
\nAnd so when Jesus comes onto the<\/p>\n
153
\n00:09:57,560 –> 00:09:59,440
\nscene, it doesn’t match any of
\nthis. <\/p>\n
154
\n00:09:59,760 –> 00:10:01,840
\nThey look at their at their
\ntexts and they say, this is, <\/p>\n
155
\n00:10:01,920 –> 00:10:03,240
\nthis is not what we’re
\nexpecting. <\/p>\n
156
\n00:10:03,320 –> 00:10:07,640
\nNo one would recognize why he
\ncame. <\/p>\n
157
\n00:10:08,440 –> 00:10:12,480
\nThis is Luke 24.
\nEveryone at the time tried to <\/p>\n
158
\n00:10:12,480 –> 00:10:18,480
\nfit Jesus into the mold they
\nassumed he should fit into, not <\/p>\n
159
\n00:10:18,480 –> 00:10:23,840
\ninto the actual reason he came.
\nThey failed to see the entire <\/p>\n
160
\n00:10:23,840 –> 00:10:27,240
\njourney to Jerusalem.
\nDid he tell them what his plan <\/p>\n
161
\n00:10:27,240 –> 00:10:30,480
\nand mission and purpose was?
\nYes. <\/p>\n
162
\n00:10:30,480 –> 00:10:33,480
\nOver and over and over.
\nHe told them he would die. <\/p>\n
163
\n00:10:33,600 –> 00:10:36,000
\nThe Law told them they he would
\ndie. <\/p>\n
164
\n00:10:36,120 –> 00:10:38,360
\nThe Psalms told them he would
\ndie. <\/p>\n
165
\n00:10:38,560 –> 00:10:41,960
\nThe prophets told him told them
\nhe would die. <\/p>\n
166
\n00:10:43,760 –> 00:10:47,080
\nThis is not new.
\nThis should not be a surprise to<\/p>\n
167
\n00:10:47,080 –> 00:10:49,640
\nanyone.
\nBut when they came, they <\/p>\n
168
\n00:10:49,640 –> 00:10:52,200
\nexpected somebody completely
\ndifferent. <\/p>\n
169
\n00:10:53,760 –> 00:10:56,880
\nThey should have expected him to
\nbe beaten, betrayed, murdered, <\/p>\n
170
\n00:10:57,080 –> 00:10:59,600
\nresurrected.
\nThey didn’t. <\/p>\n
171
\n00:10:59,680 –> 00:11:03,520
\nThey didn’t see it.
\nIt wasn’t the Messiah that they <\/p>\n
172
\n00:11:03,520 –> 00:11:07,040
\nwere expecting.
\nSo these two travellers join all<\/p>\n
173
\n00:11:07,040 –> 00:11:10,640
\nthe other characters we’ve
\nlooked at in Luke who are blind <\/p>\n
174
\n00:11:10,640 –> 00:11:16,760
\nto who the Savior truly was, the
\nSavior who walked right beside <\/p>\n
175
\n00:11:16,760 –> 00:11:19,560
\nthem the whole time.
\nWe need to ask ourselves by the <\/p>\n
176
\n00:11:19,560 –> 00:11:24,280
\nsisters, should we see Jesus for
\nwho he truly is or if we changed<\/p>\n
177
\n00:11:24,440 –> 00:11:28,600
\nhim to fit into what we think he
\nneeds to look like, what we <\/p>\n
178
\n00:11:28,600 –> 00:11:31,040
\nthink he needs to act like?
\nOr do we go to the Scripture and<\/p>\n
179
\n00:11:31,040 –> 00:11:33,480
\nsay this is the main we follow
\nto Jerusalem? <\/p>\n
180
\n00:11:34,760 –> 00:11:36,760
\nThat’s the question we have to
\nask ourselves. <\/p>\n
181
\n00:11:36,880 –> 00:11:40,840
\nIt’s not for, it’s not for our
\nneighbor to answer, it’s for us <\/p>\n
182
\n00:11:40,840 –> 00:11:43,880
\nto answer.
\nLet’s then quickly look at the <\/p>\n
183
\n00:11:43,880 –> 00:11:47,640
\nevents that are recorded for us
\nin Luke 24. <\/p>\n
184
\n00:11:48,440 –> 00:11:50,880
\nWe have in Luke 24 the
\nresurrection first. <\/p>\n
185
\n00:11:51,200 –> 00:11:55,800
\nThis happens in Luke’s account
\nin the 1st 11 verses. <\/p>\n
186
\n00:11:57,920 –> 00:12:00,520
\nNow this is the resurrection.
\nIt happens in all four gospels, <\/p>\n
187
\n00:12:00,520 –> 00:12:04,600
\nof course.
\nNext event is he appears to <\/p>\n
188
\n00:12:04,600 –> 00:12:07,160
\nmarry.
\nWe’re told this in Mark’s and <\/p>\n
189
\n00:12:07,160 –> 00:12:09,080
\nJohn’s account that he appears
\nto marry. <\/p>\n
190
\n00:12:09,480 –> 00:12:12,120
\nWe’re given a little extra
\ndetail in Matthew’s account that<\/p>\n
191
\n00:12:12,120 –> 00:12:15,120
\nhe appears to the women.
\nSo these are the order of <\/p>\n
192
\n00:12:15,120 –> 00:12:17,360
\nevents.
\nThere was more than one woman at<\/p>\n
193
\n00:12:17,360 –> 00:12:20,120
\nthis appearing.
\nAnd then some people, some <\/p>\n
194
\n00:12:20,120 –> 00:12:23,960
\ncommentary commentaries place
\nthe appearance to Peter and <\/p>\n
195
\n00:12:23,960 –> 00:12:26,200
\nwe’re going to look at this in a
\nsecond place, the appearance to <\/p>\n
196
\n00:12:26,200 –> 00:12:28,040
\nPeter right after this
\nappearance to the women. <\/p>\n
197
\n00:12:28,240 –> 00:12:29,640
\nWe’re going with Luke’s account
\nfor now. <\/p>\n
198
\n00:12:30,080 –> 00:12:33,120
\nSo the next people he’s going to
\ntalk to is in verse 13. <\/p>\n
199
\n00:12:34,800 –> 00:12:38,840
\nIt’s going to tell us the story
\nof the two travelers. <\/p>\n
200
\n00:12:39,640 –> 00:12:45,440
\nToday’s session is a story.
\nWe’re not going to be hopping <\/p>\n
201
\n00:12:45,440 –> 00:12:47,080
\nthrough the journey to Jerusalem
\nanymore. <\/p>\n
202
\n00:12:47,080 –> 00:12:49,480
\nWe’re not going to be pointing
\nout little things that we can <\/p>\n
203
\n00:12:49,480 –> 00:12:51,240
\nfollow and bread crumbs that we
\ncan trail. <\/p>\n
204
\n00:12:51,880 –> 00:12:54,920
\nWe’re going to simply look at
\nthe story of Luke 24. <\/p>\n
205
\n00:12:55,560 –> 00:12:59,840
\nSo let’s get started.
\nMark only has 2 verses on these <\/p>\n
206
\n00:12:59,840 –> 00:13:02,600
\ntwo travelers.
\nMatthew and John don’t really <\/p>\n
207
\n00:13:02,600 –> 00:13:06,520
\nmention them.
\nLuke is going to spend from <\/p>\n
208
\n00:13:06,520 –> 00:13:11,120
\nverse 13 to 35 talking about
\nthis appearance. <\/p>\n
209
\n00:13:11,120 –> 00:13:14,280
\nWe’re going to look at these
\nthis appearance for our session <\/p>\n
210
\n00:13:14,280 –> 00:13:15,880
\ntoday.
\nThe story starts in verse 13. <\/p>\n
211
\n00:13:15,880 –> 00:13:20,240
\nAnd two of them it says, went
\nthat same day to a village <\/p>\n
212
\n00:13:20,240 –> 00:13:23,080
\ncalled Emmaus, which was from
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
213
\n00:13:23,840 –> 00:13:29,040
\nAbout 3 score furlongs.
\nIt’s the only time we have this <\/p>\n
214
\n00:13:29,040 –> 00:13:31,320
\nphrase, this place called
\nEmmaus. <\/p>\n
215
\n00:13:32,080 –> 00:13:35,240
\nNow they’re traveling from
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
216
\n00:13:35,760 –> 00:13:39,040
\nWe notice Luke’s gospel has been
\ntrying and trying and trying and<\/p>\n
217
\n00:13:39,040 –> 00:13:43,000
\ntrying to get us to Jerusalem.
\nHe’s going to conclude with a <\/p>\n
218
\n00:13:43,000 –> 00:13:45,520
\ncouple people leaving the city.
\nWhy? <\/p>\n
219
\n00:13:46,280 –> 00:13:48,800
\nWhy is this the concluding
\nstory? <\/p>\n
220
\n00:13:50,520 –> 00:13:55,040
\nThe ESV says it’s about 60
\nfurlongs is about 7 miles. <\/p>\n
221
\n00:13:55,320 –> 00:13:58,760
\nSo what this looks like is
\nprobably a walk of two, 3-4 <\/p>\n
222
\n00:13:58,760 –> 00:14:05,360
\nhours from Jerusalem to Emmaus.
\nSo what they’re doing is it says<\/p>\n
223
\n00:14:05,360 –> 00:14:08,280
\nin verse 14, they talked
\ntogether of all these things <\/p>\n
224
\n00:14:08,480 –> 00:14:12,160
\nwhich had happened.
\nSo just like you would do at the<\/p>\n
225
\n00:14:12,200 –> 00:14:16,000
\nend of a fun trip with your
\nfamily, you pack up the car, you<\/p>\n
226
\n00:14:16,000 –> 00:14:18,560
\nget in the car, you start
\ndriving and you go, kids, what <\/p>\n
227
\n00:14:18,560 –> 00:14:21,400
\nwas your favorite part?
\nAnd the kids can talk and they <\/p>\n
228
\n00:14:21,400 –> 00:14:23,440
\ncan talk and they can say all
\nthese fun things that they did. <\/p>\n
229
\n00:14:23,800 –> 00:14:27,160
\nMost rewarding time is just
\nhearing the feedback. <\/p>\n
230
\n00:14:27,360 –> 00:14:30,680
\nThat’s what they’re doing.
\nThey’re just talking about their<\/p>\n
231
\n00:14:30,760 –> 00:14:34,560
\ntrip to Jerusalem.
\nThey talked together of all the <\/p>\n
232
\n00:14:34,560 –> 00:14:38,680
\nthings that happened, it says
\nverse 15, and it came to pass <\/p>\n
233
\n00:14:38,680 –> 00:14:45,560
\nthat while they communed
\ntogether and reasoned, Jesus <\/p>\n
234
\n00:14:46,440 –> 00:14:52,200
\nhimself drew near.
\nSo what they’re doing is they’re<\/p>\n
235
\n00:14:52,320 –> 00:14:58,200
\ncommuning and they’re reasoning.
\nThey communed and they reasoned.<\/p>\n
236
\n00:15:00,200 –> 00:15:02,840
\nThe discussion isn’t quite as
\nstraightforward as the text <\/p>\n
237
\n00:15:02,840 –> 00:15:05,280
\nactually makes it sound.
\nTo communed is pretty <\/p>\n
238
\n00:15:05,280 –> 00:15:07,360
\nstraightforward.
\nIt means to converse or to talk.<\/p>\n
239
\n00:15:07,640 –> 00:15:12,080
\nBut to reason means to
\ninvestigate, to argue, to <\/p>\n
240
\n00:15:12,080 –> 00:15:14,160
\ndebate.
\nWhat do you suppose that these <\/p>\n
241
\n00:15:14,160 –> 00:15:18,800
\ntwo people, by the way, we can’t
\nbe certain that it was a man and<\/p>\n
242
\n00:15:18,800 –> 00:15:21,640
\na woman.
\nWe know the name of one of them,<\/p>\n
243
\n00:15:21,720 –> 00:15:23,720
\nCleopas, but we don’t know the
\nname of the other, so we’re not <\/p>\n
244
\n00:15:23,720 –> 00:15:25,720
\nsure.
\nFor the sake of the example, I <\/p>\n
245
\n00:15:25,720 –> 00:15:29,280
\njust put a couple, but what do
\nyou think that they’re <\/p>\n
246
\n00:15:29,280 –> 00:15:32,640
\ninvestigating, they’re arguing,
\nthey’re debating about with each<\/p>\n
247
\n00:15:32,640 –> 00:15:34,200
\nother?
\nWhat do you suppose that they <\/p>\n
248
\n00:15:34,200 –> 00:15:38,520
\nwould be in heated discussion
\nabout as they travelled away <\/p>\n
249
\n00:15:38,520 –> 00:15:43,320
\nfrom Jerusalem towards Emmaus?
\nWe’ll look at the conversation <\/p>\n
250
\n00:15:43,320 –> 00:15:47,520
\nbasically.
\nBut they probably were saying <\/p>\n
251
\n00:15:47,520 –> 00:15:51,160
\nsomething like, well, if he were
\nthe Messiah, well, why did he <\/p>\n
252
\n00:15:51,160 –> 00:15:54,400
\nallow himself to be killed?
\nWhat we expected to happen <\/p>\n
253
\n00:15:54,480 –> 00:15:57,480
\ndidn’t happen.
\nThe man we thought was going to <\/p>\n
254
\n00:15:57,480 –> 00:16:01,520
\ncome didn’t come.
\nWhat happened in Jerusalem? <\/p>\n
255
\n00:16:02,640 –> 00:16:05,200
\nWe’re going to see their
\nconversation opened up in a <\/p>\n
256
\n00:16:05,200 –> 00:16:08,520
\nlittle bit later.
\nBut they’ve even clearly stayed <\/p>\n
257
\n00:16:08,520 –> 00:16:12,200
\nan extra few days in Jerusalem
\nif they’re just now leaving <\/p>\n
258
\n00:16:12,200 –> 00:16:14,360
\nafter the resurrection.
\nYou know, maybe they had heard <\/p>\n
259
\n00:16:14,360 –> 00:16:18,400
\nrumors that he would be
\nresurrected, but no sign had <\/p>\n
260
\n00:16:18,400 –> 00:16:20,840
\ncome.
\nAnd so now they depart <\/p>\n
261
\n00:16:20,840 –> 00:16:24,000
\nJerusalem.
\nThey’d heard that his body is <\/p>\n
262
\n00:16:24,000 –> 00:16:28,040
\nnot even there anymore.
\nMaybe the story ends there. <\/p>\n
263
\n00:16:29,000 –> 00:16:32,920
\nSo a feeling of defeat.
\nHeads hung low, They leave <\/p>\n
264
\n00:16:32,920 –> 00:16:41,600
\nJerusalem.
\nBut Jesus himself drew near. <\/p>\n
265
\n00:16:42,920 –> 00:16:47,680
\nIt wasn’t long after leaving
\nthat a stranger joins them. <\/p>\n
266
\n00:16:48,120 –> 00:16:52,640
\nA stranger, a man they did not
\nrecognize, joins them. <\/p>\n
267
\n00:16:52,880 –> 00:17:00,240
\nThink for one second about
\nJesus’s itinerary for this <\/p>\n
268
\n00:17:00,240 –> 00:17:06,800
\nmoment after being resurrected.
\nPardon the visual. <\/p>\n
269
\n00:17:07,200 –> 00:17:12,119
\nHe pulls out his itinerary and
\nhe says my first thing is to <\/p>\n
270
\n00:17:12,119 –> 00:17:15,640
\nwait around the garden for Mary
\nMagdalene, who interestingly <\/p>\n
271
\n00:17:15,640 –> 00:17:18,720
\nenough, also doesn’t recognize
\nhim. <\/p>\n
272
\n00:17:20,240 –> 00:17:24,520
\nThe very next thing on his
\nagenda to do, he checks off, <\/p>\n
273
\n00:17:24,640 –> 00:17:28,040
\nwaits for Mary Magdalene.
\nThe very next thing to do is to <\/p>\n
274
\n00:17:28,040 –> 00:17:31,800
\ntravel away from Jerusalem to
\nvisit 2 strangers. <\/p>\n
275
\n00:17:33,080 –> 00:17:38,000
\nSo he sets off alone.
\nWhy didn’t Jesus rush to see all<\/p>\n
276
\n00:17:38,000 –> 00:17:41,920
\nthe apostles who’ve probably
\nbeen crushed at this moment <\/p>\n
277
\n00:17:44,000 –> 00:17:47,000
\nTheir Messiah, the man they had
\nfollowed for 3 1\/2 years is dead<\/p>\n
278
\n00:17:47,120 –> 00:17:50,720
\nand his body is lost.
\nWe failed as followers. <\/p>\n
279
\n00:17:50,840 –> 00:17:55,880
\nWhy didn’t he go to comfort them
\nas his item number 2 on his <\/p>\n
280
\n00:17:55,880 –> 00:17:58,440
\nlist?
\nWhy didn’t he go and see his <\/p>\n
281
\n00:17:58,440 –> 00:18:02,320
\nmother who’d probably been
\ncrying for days at the death of <\/p>\n
282
\n00:18:02,320 –> 00:18:08,960
\nher son to just reassure her
\nhe’s he’s been resurrected and <\/p>\n
283
\n00:18:08,960 –> 00:18:12,960
\nthen move on to these two?
\nWhat about going to Pilot’s <\/p>\n
284
\n00:18:12,960 –> 00:18:16,960
\nhouse and that have been
\ninteresting, knocking on Pilot’s<\/p>\n
285
\n00:18:16,960 –> 00:18:23,800
\ndoor and saying what about
\ncrashing the celebration at the <\/p>\n
286
\n00:18:23,800 –> 00:18:27,280
\nPharisees and scribes, the party
\nthey were definitely having <\/p>\n
287
\n00:18:27,280 –> 00:18:31,800
\nsomewhere in Jerusalem?
\nWhy does he go to these two? <\/p>\n
288
\n00:18:33,520 –> 00:18:36,320
\nThat’s the whole story of Luke,
\nisn’t it? <\/p>\n
289
\n00:18:37,080 –> 00:18:41,040
\nYou would never expect him to go
\nto the people he goes to. <\/p>\n
290
\n00:18:41,560 –> 00:18:46,600
\nAnd everybody at his time,
\neverybody who claims to be this <\/p>\n
291
\n00:18:46,600 –> 00:18:50,720
\nreligious leader, was so
\nconfused that he would debase <\/p>\n
292
\n00:18:50,720 –> 00:18:53,040
\nhimself to be like people with
\nthis, like this. <\/p>\n
293
\n00:18:54,760 –> 00:18:58,840
\nThis is the story of Luke.
\nIt’s all about calling the last <\/p>\n
294
\n00:18:58,840 –> 00:19:00,560
\npeople that you’d expect,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
295
\n00:19:00,680 –> 00:19:03,480
\nIt’s about calling people like
\nus, isn’t it? <\/p>\n
296
\n00:19:06,040 –> 00:19:08,440
\nI’d be the last person that I
\nexpected to be called to the <\/p>\n
297
\n00:19:08,440 –> 00:19:10,840
\nKingdom.
\nThink about it for a second. <\/p>\n
298
\n00:19:11,000 –> 00:19:16,680
\nOut of everybody on this planet,
\nthe people in this room, you <\/p>\n
299
\n00:19:16,720 –> 00:19:21,200
\nhave an opportunity to be in
\nGod’s Kingdom. <\/p>\n
300
\n00:19:22,280 –> 00:19:27,720
\nDo you think about that
\nincredibly massive blessing <\/p>\n
301
\n00:19:28,280 –> 00:19:31,720
\noften enough?
\nThink about everybody else in <\/p>\n
302
\n00:19:31,720 –> 00:19:33,600
\nthe world.
\nYou’re not one of those people. <\/p>\n
303
\n00:19:34,120 –> 00:19:40,720
\nYou’re here called to follow
\nHim, and that’s what he does <\/p>\n
304
\n00:19:40,720 –> 00:19:45,120
\nwith these strangers.
\nBut it says their eyes were <\/p>\n
305
\n00:19:45,120 –> 00:19:49,120
\nHolden.
\nVerse 16 Their eyes were Holden,<\/p>\n
306
\n00:19:49,840 –> 00:19:56,600
\nthat they should not know Him.
\nThey expected a victory in <\/p>\n
307
\n00:19:56,600 –> 00:20:00,200
\nJerusalem, not a death.
\nThey expected a mighty <\/p>\n
308
\n00:20:00,200 –> 00:20:05,400
\ndeliverer, not a humble servant.
\nTheir eyes were certainly <\/p>\n
309
\n00:20:05,400 –> 00:20:08,240
\nHolden.
\nTo who it was walking with them <\/p>\n
310
\n00:20:09,920 –> 00:20:14,560
\nso as Jesus approached and he
\ncatches up to them as they walk <\/p>\n
311
\n00:20:14,640 –> 00:20:21,120
\nheads down sad debating with
\neach other what’s just happened.<\/p>\n
312
\n00:20:21,440 –> 00:20:25,680
\nHe catches up and he asks them a
\nquestion. <\/p>\n
313
\n00:20:27,480 –> 00:20:32,920
\nVerse 17, he said to them,
\nwhat’s manner of communications <\/p>\n
314
\n00:20:32,920 –> 00:20:37,320
\nare these that you have one to
\nanother as you walk and are sad.<\/p>\n
315
\n00:20:40,880 –> 00:20:47,200
\nThe phrase and are sad in most
\nother translations is actually <\/p>\n
316
\n00:20:47,200 –> 00:20:50,480
\ndescribing them and not part of
\nChrist’s response. <\/p>\n
317
\n00:20:51,480 –> 00:20:54,720
\nMost other translations, and
\nI’ll read the ESV here for us. <\/p>\n
318
\n00:20:56,120 –> 00:20:58,680
\nIt says, but their eyes were
\nkept from recognizing. <\/p>\n
319
\n00:20:58,680 –> 00:21:01,160
\nAnd he said to them, what is
\nthis conversation that you were <\/p>\n
320
\n00:21:01,160 –> 00:21:02,720
\nholding with each other as you
\nwalk? <\/p>\n
321
\n00:21:03,640 –> 00:21:06,280
\nAnd they stood still looking
\nsad. <\/p>\n
322
\n00:21:06,720 –> 00:21:09,520
\nSo we just have a slight change
\nthere in what the text probably <\/p>\n
323
\n00:21:09,520 –> 00:21:11,440
\nshould read.
\nBut they’re sad. <\/p>\n
324
\n00:21:12,000 –> 00:21:14,160
\nThey’re standing there looking
\nsad. <\/p>\n
325
\n00:21:14,160 –> 00:21:17,120
\nAnd Christ approaches them and
\nsaid, what are you guys talking <\/p>\n
326
\n00:21:17,120 –> 00:21:19,920
\nabout?
\nWhy do you look stand here? <\/p>\n
327
\n00:21:20,760 –> 00:21:22,480
\nAnd they stood there looking
\nsad. <\/p>\n
328
\n00:21:24,240 –> 00:21:28,320
\nThese two were exhausted.
\nThey were debating, they’re <\/p>\n
329
\n00:21:28,320 –> 00:21:34,760
\narguing, they’re confused.
\nAnd Cleopas answers, probably an<\/p>\n
330
\n00:21:34,760 –> 00:21:36,600
\nanswer he came to regret
\nforever. <\/p>\n
331
\n00:21:38,240 –> 00:21:47,600
\nHe says in verse 18, Are you
\nonly a stranger in Jerusalem? <\/p>\n
332
\n00:21:50,920 –> 00:21:56,280
\nWas Jesus simply a stranger to
\nthat city? <\/p>\n
333
\n00:21:59,880 –> 00:22:03,080
\nThe only visitor, say other
\nversions? <\/p>\n
334
\n00:22:03,800 –> 00:22:07,480
\nAre you the only visitor to
\nJerusalem who does not know the <\/p>\n
335
\n00:22:07,480 –> 00:22:13,080
\nthings that have happened here?
\nYou must be the only person in <\/p>\n
336
\n00:22:13,080 –> 00:22:19,000
\nJerusalem who has no idea what’s
\njust happened, He says to the <\/p>\n
337
\n00:22:19,000 –> 00:22:23,960
\nLord Jesus Christ.
\nAll the planning, all the <\/p>\n
338
\n00:22:24,000 –> 00:22:27,600
\neffort, all the shame, all the
\nchallenges that went to getting <\/p>\n
339
\n00:22:27,600 –> 00:22:30,560
\nto that city so that he could
\ndie for the world. <\/p>\n
340
\n00:22:30,720 –> 00:22:33,720
\nThe death and the resurrection
\nwas barred on the greatest event<\/p>\n
341
\n00:22:33,720 –> 00:22:36,400
\nthe planet ever seen.
\nAnd it happened in Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
342
\n00:22:36,520 –> 00:22:39,920
\nAnd the man who was responsible
\nwas standing there in front of <\/p>\n
343
\n00:22:39,920 –> 00:22:43,000
\nthem being called a visitor to
\nthat city, clueless to those <\/p>\n
344
\n00:22:43,000 –> 00:22:50,160
\nevents.
\nAnd Jesus chose to make this his<\/p>\n
345
\n00:22:50,160 –> 00:22:55,840
\nvisit this morning, his second
\nstop as a resurrected being. <\/p>\n
346
\n00:22:56,880 –> 00:23:02,560
\nHe chose to visit these two.
\nAre you the only stranger in <\/p>\n
347
\n00:23:02,560 –> 00:23:05,880
\nJerusalem, verse 18 and has not
\nknown the things which are about<\/p>\n
348
\n00:23:05,880 –> 00:23:08,880
\nto come, which are come to pass
\nin these days. <\/p>\n
349
\n00:23:09,200 –> 00:23:15,600
\nHe says, and Jesus, I said it
\nyesterday, man, it would have <\/p>\n
350
\n00:23:15,600 –> 00:23:23,240
\nbeen humbling to talk to Jesus.
\nJesus says, what things? <\/p>\n
351
\n00:23:25,280 –> 00:23:27,480
\nWhat things are you talking
\nabout, Cleopas? <\/p>\n
352
\n00:23:28,560 –> 00:23:32,480
\nAnd he plays into this role of
\nthe only visitor to Jerusalem <\/p>\n
353
\n00:23:32,480 –> 00:23:35,760
\nperfectly.
\nAre you the only visitor here <\/p>\n
354
\n00:23:35,760 –> 00:23:37,880
\nwho has no idea what’s just
\nhappened? <\/p>\n
355
\n00:23:38,880 –> 00:23:43,800
\nWhat’s happened?
\nHe says whether adversary or <\/p>\n
356
\n00:23:43,800 –> 00:23:47,920
\nfoe, follower or family, Jesus
\nhad a way with words. <\/p>\n
357
\n00:23:49,240 –> 00:23:52,440
\nLet’s look at his answer.
\nAnd they said verse 19 <\/p>\n
358
\n00:23:55,200 –> 00:24:00,160
\nconcerning Jesus of Nazareth,
\nwhich was a prophet, mighty in <\/p>\n
359
\n00:24:00,160 –> 00:24:04,160
\ndeed and word before God and all
\nthe people, and how the chief <\/p>\n
360
\n00:24:04,160 –> 00:24:08,120
\npriests and our rulers delivered
\nhim to be condemned to death and<\/p>\n
361
\n00:24:08,120 –> 00:24:11,520
\nhave crucified him.
\nBut we trusted that it had been <\/p>\n
362
\n00:24:11,520 –> 00:24:13,640
\nhe which should have redeemed
\nIsrael. <\/p>\n
363
\n00:24:14,280 –> 00:24:17,240
\nAnd besides all this, today’s
\nthe third day since these things<\/p>\n
364
\n00:24:17,240 –> 00:24:17,960
\nwere done.
\nYeah. <\/p>\n
365
\n00:24:17,960 –> 00:24:20,240
\nAnd certain women also of our
\ncompany made us astonished, <\/p>\n
366
\n00:24:20,240 –> 00:24:22,120
\nwhich were early at the
\nsepulchre. <\/p>\n
367
\n00:24:22,200 –> 00:24:25,560
\nAnd when they found not his
\nbody, they came saying they had <\/p>\n
368
\n00:24:25,560 –> 00:24:28,000
\nseen a vision of the angels
\nwhich said he was alive. <\/p>\n
369
\n00:24:28,000 –> 00:24:30,160
\nAnd certain of them which were
\nwith us went to see the <\/p>\n
370
\n00:24:30,160 –> 00:24:32,640
\nsepulchre and found it even as
\nthe women had said. <\/p>\n
371
\n00:24:33,520 –> 00:24:40,360
\nBut him they didn’t see.
\nLet’s dissect these words for a <\/p>\n
372
\n00:24:40,360 –> 00:24:44,480
\nsecond.
\nLet’s just take a look a little <\/p>\n
373
\n00:24:44,480 –> 00:24:49,520
\nbit deeper at what they say.
\nHe’s he says that this Jesus, <\/p>\n
374
\n00:24:49,680 –> 00:24:54,240
\nwhich was a prophet.
\nA couple things we can glean out<\/p>\n
375
\n00:24:54,240 –> 00:24:56,440
\nof this story.
\nHe was nothing more than a <\/p>\n
376
\n00:24:56,440 –> 00:24:58,280
\nprophet.
\nAccording to them, it was just <\/p>\n
377
\n00:24:58,280 –> 00:24:59,640
\nanother prophet.
\nHe was not the Messiah. <\/p>\n
378
\n00:24:59,640 –> 00:25:07,040
\nHe was not to deliver.
\nHe was a prophet, but he was no <\/p>\n
379
\n00:25:07,040 –> 00:25:09,520
\nlonger is.
\nHe was a prophet. <\/p>\n
380
\n00:25:09,640 –> 00:25:11,960
\nHe’s gone.
\nWe don’t know what’s become of <\/p>\n
381
\n00:25:11,960 –> 00:25:15,000
\nhim.
\nAnother prophet to perish. <\/p>\n
382
\n00:25:16,840 –> 00:25:19,920
\nHe was mighty in Word and deed.
\nWho does that sound like? <\/p>\n
383
\n00:25:21,840 –> 00:25:23,120
\nMoses?
\nActs 7. <\/p>\n
384
\n00:25:23,720 –> 00:25:27,680
\nThey were expecting a man like
\nMoses, weren’t they? <\/p>\n
385
\n00:25:27,760 –> 00:25:29,840
\nThis is the man they wanted to
\nsee. <\/p>\n
386
\n00:25:31,600 –> 00:25:39,080
\nAnd they also say our chief
\npriests and rulers delivered him<\/p>\n
387
\n00:25:40,280 –> 00:25:42,440
\nto be condemned to death and
\nhave crucified him. <\/p>\n
388
\n00:25:43,880 –> 00:25:47,320
\nThey claim that they were their
\nchief priests and rulers. <\/p>\n
389
\n00:25:47,400 –> 00:25:52,520
\nThey belong to us, they’re ours.
\nAnd how could they be wrong? <\/p>\n
390
\n00:25:53,680 –> 00:25:57,080
\nSee, what they had unfortunately
\nfallen into, what everyone in <\/p>\n
391
\n00:25:57,080 –> 00:25:59,400
\nthis time had fallen into was
\ntheir teachings. <\/p>\n
392
\n00:25:59,560 –> 00:26:03,400
\nThe picture of Jesus that was
\npainted by these chief priests <\/p>\n
393
\n00:26:03,400 –> 00:26:06,480
\nand rulers was a very different
\nman than the Jesus who showed up<\/p>\n
394
\n00:26:06,480 –> 00:26:10,040
\nin Jerusalem.
\nAnd so when they’re looking for <\/p>\n
395
\n00:26:10,040 –> 00:26:13,840
\nthis image of Jesus, it doesn’t
\nmatch, it doesn’t fit, it <\/p>\n
396
\n00:26:13,840 –> 00:26:17,640
\ndoesn’t work.
\nAnd they’re blind to the man <\/p>\n
397
\n00:26:17,640 –> 00:26:22,480
\nright in front of them and they
\nreveal this so plainly in their <\/p>\n
398
\n00:26:22,480 –> 00:26:26,920
\nconversation.
\nSo let’s keep going. <\/p>\n
399
\n00:26:30,960 –> 00:26:36,640
\nIt says in verse 25.
\nThen he said unto them, O fools <\/p>\n
400
\n00:26:37,240 –> 00:26:40,000
\nand slow of hearts, to believe
\nall that the prophets had <\/p>\n
401
\n00:26:40,000 –> 00:26:41,720
\nspoken.
\nOught not Christ to have <\/p>\n
402
\n00:26:41,720 –> 00:26:44,760
\nsuffered these things, and to
\nenter into his glory, and to <\/p>\n
403
\n00:26:44,760 –> 00:26:48,600
\nbeginning at Moses, and all the
\nprophets, he expounded unto <\/p>\n
404
\n00:26:48,600 –> 00:26:54,720
\nthem, and all the Scripture the
\nthings concerning himself. <\/p>\n
405
\n00:26:56,760 –> 00:27:03,400
\nJesus then gives what was
\nprobably the very best Bible <\/p>\n
406
\n00:27:03,400 –> 00:27:08,920
\nstudy to this day.
\nImagine hearing from Jesus <\/p>\n
407
\n00:27:08,920 –> 00:27:12,840
\nhimself the conclusion of those
\ntwo verses that we saw. <\/p>\n
408
\n00:27:13,040 –> 00:27:17,320
\nLuke 1831 came to fulfill
\neverything the prophets written <\/p>\n
409
\n00:27:17,400 –> 00:27:20,040
\nof me.
\nLuke 2444, everything that the <\/p>\n
410
\n00:27:20,040 –> 00:27:22,600
\nprophets in the Psalms and Moses
\nwrote about me. <\/p>\n
411
\n00:27:22,720 –> 00:27:29,240
\nHe is the one who delivers the
\nmessage, verse 27, beginning at <\/p>\n
412
\n00:27:29,240 –> 00:27:36,080
\nMoses and all the prophets, He
\nexpounded unto them in all the <\/p>\n
413
\n00:27:36,080 –> 00:27:39,080
\nscriptures the things concerning
\nhimself. <\/p>\n
414
\n00:27:39,520 –> 00:27:45,280
\nImagine being able to listen to
\nthat Bible study. <\/p>\n
415
\n00:27:47,720 –> 00:27:52,320
\nImagine hearing from Jesus
\nhimself, a resurrected Messiah, <\/p>\n
416
\n00:27:52,960 –> 00:27:58,640
\nhow every sinew of scripture was
\nrelevant to why he was in <\/p>\n
417
\n00:27:58,680 –> 00:28:04,760
\nJerusalem.
\nThis was not some stranger, some<\/p>\n
418
\n00:28:04,760 –> 00:28:10,200
\nvisitor to this city.
\nJerusalem existed for this man. <\/p>\n
419
\n00:28:10,800 –> 00:28:16,400
\nJerusalem existed because of
\nthis man and Jerusalem exists <\/p>\n
420
\n00:28:16,400 –> 00:28:26,040
\nnow through this man and he
\nteaches them all the Scriptures,<\/p>\n
421
\n00:28:26,040 –> 00:28:31,560
\nthe things concerning himself,
\nbut he calls them in verse 25, <\/p>\n
422
\n00:28:31,560 –> 00:28:35,160
\nfools and slow of hearts, ought
\nnot Christ have suffered these <\/p>\n
423
\n00:28:35,160 –> 00:28:37,280
\nthings and to enter into his
\nglory. <\/p>\n
424
\n00:28:37,320 –> 00:28:39,320
\nThis would have been quite a
\nwake up call for those two, <\/p>\n
425
\n00:28:39,320 –> 00:28:41,800
\nwouldn’t it?
\nYou’re traveling, the stranger <\/p>\n
426
\n00:28:41,800 –> 00:28:44,720
\ncatches up to you.
\nHe says we know what things are <\/p>\n
427
\n00:28:44,720 –> 00:28:47,000
\ngoing on in Jerusalem.
\nThey say, oh, this is not that, <\/p>\n
428
\n00:28:47,000 –> 00:28:50,800
\nthat and this.
\nAnd he goes, you fools, you <\/p>\n
429
\n00:28:50,800 –> 00:28:54,760
\nmissed the whole thing.
\nIt would have been quite an eye <\/p>\n
430
\n00:28:54,760 –> 00:29:00,040
\nopening conversation for them.
\nBut Scriptures moves on right <\/p>\n
431
\n00:29:00,040 –> 00:29:03,960
\npast it.
\nAnd it says in verse 28, again, <\/p>\n
432
\n00:29:03,960 –> 00:29:06,120
\nno rebuttal by these two, verse
\n28. <\/p>\n
433
\n00:29:06,560 –> 00:29:09,560
\nAnd they drew nigh into the
\nvillage where they went and he <\/p>\n
434
\n00:29:09,560 –> 00:29:11,200
\nmade as though he would have
\ngone further. <\/p>\n
435
\n00:29:11,200 –> 00:29:14,480
\nThe exit sign for Emmaus is
\ncoming up and he keeps on <\/p>\n
436
\n00:29:14,480 –> 00:29:16,720
\nwalking.
\nHe goes right past the exit sign<\/p>\n
437
\n00:29:16,720 –> 00:29:18,960
\nand they say, whoa, whoa, whoa,
\nwhoa, wait a second, wait a <\/p>\n
438
\n00:29:18,960 –> 00:29:22,960
\nsecond.
\nWould you be able to come to our<\/p>\n
439
\n00:29:22,960 –> 00:29:25,600
\nhouse?
\nVerse 29 and they constrained <\/p>\n
440
\n00:29:25,600 –> 00:29:29,240
\nhim saying abide with us for it
\nis toward the evening and the <\/p>\n
441
\n00:29:29,240 –> 00:29:31,400
\nday is far spent and he went to
\ntarry with them. <\/p>\n
442
\n00:29:32,840 –> 00:29:35,600
\nBut the sisters, he’s going to
\neat again, by the way, he’s <\/p>\n
443
\n00:29:35,600 –> 00:29:40,520
\ngoing to have a meal, as Luke
\noften paints, still having no <\/p>\n
444
\n00:29:40,520 –> 00:29:43,520
\nidea it’s their Messiah.
\nThey say, come on, stay with us <\/p>\n
445
\n00:29:43,720 –> 00:29:44,640
\nfor the evening.
\nIt’s getting late. <\/p>\n
446
\n00:29:44,640 –> 00:29:48,000
\nIt’s an interesting development.
\nIn the summary chapter of Luke, <\/p>\n
447
\n00:29:50,280 –> 00:29:52,600
\nChrist will reveal himself to
\nyou. <\/p>\n
448
\n00:29:52,800 –> 00:29:56,680
\nHe’ll show you who He is and
\nwhat His calling entails. <\/p>\n
449
\n00:29:56,800 –> 00:29:58,880
\nBut he’s not going to force you
\ndown that road, is he? <\/p>\n
450
\n00:29:59,440 –> 00:30:03,840
\nHe is going to keep walking.
\nIt’s up to us to say, whoa, I <\/p>\n
451
\n00:30:03,840 –> 00:30:06,680
\nwant to go with you.
\nI want to go where you’re going.<\/p>\n
452
\n00:30:06,840 –> 00:30:08,680
\nAnd so they bring Christ to
\ntheir home. <\/p>\n
453
\n00:30:09,040 –> 00:30:13,120
\nSo Jesus sits at the table with
\nthem, and the story gets even <\/p>\n
454
\n00:30:13,120 –> 00:30:16,080
\nstranger.
\nVerse 29. <\/p>\n
455
\n00:30:16,080 –> 00:30:20,480
\nAnd he went to tarry with them.
\nVerse 30 And it came to pass, as<\/p>\n
456
\n00:30:20,480 –> 00:30:25,120
\nhe sat at meet with them, He
\ntook bread, He blessed it and <\/p>\n
457
\n00:30:25,120 –> 00:30:28,200
\nbreak and gave to them.
\nHave we heard these words <\/p>\n
458
\n00:30:28,200 –> 00:30:30,960
\nbefore?
\nWe hear these words weekly, <\/p>\n
459
\n00:30:30,960 –> 00:30:34,520
\ndon’t we?
\nSo Jesus sits at the table with <\/p>\n
460
\n00:30:34,520 –> 00:30:37,960
\nthem and does he play guest at
\ntheir own house? <\/p>\n
461
\n00:30:39,280 –> 00:30:42,920
\nWhat does he play the role of
\nthe host? <\/p>\n
462
\n00:30:44,080 –> 00:30:48,520
\nHe gets the bread.
\nWhat a strange visitor this was <\/p>\n
463
\n00:30:48,520 –> 00:30:52,840
\nto their house.
\nYou think about their adventure <\/p>\n
464
\n00:30:52,840 –> 00:30:56,280
\nthey’ve had leaving Jerusalem.
\nA stranger joins them, gives <\/p>\n
465
\n00:30:56,280 –> 00:30:59,120
\nthem a mysterious, fabulous
\nBible study. <\/p>\n
466
\n00:31:01,160 –> 00:31:03,840
\nThey beg him to come to dinner.
\nHe does, and he says thanks for <\/p>\n
467
\n00:31:03,840 –> 00:31:07,880
\ncoming to dinner.
\nWhat a strange event this was. <\/p>\n
468
\n00:31:08,160 –> 00:31:12,160
\nBut he takes the bread, he
\nblessed it. <\/p>\n
469
\n00:31:13,400 –> 00:31:20,520
\nHe break it and gave it to them,
\nas we saw in our session <\/p>\n
470
\n00:31:20,520 –> 00:31:25,960
\nyesterday on eating.
\nDoes Jesus eat here? <\/p>\n
471
\n00:31:29,040 –> 00:31:31,720
\nIt doesn’t seem like it, right?
\nWe know he eats in his final <\/p>\n
472
\n00:31:31,720 –> 00:31:36,120
\nmeal coming up in this chapter.
\nHe does what he always does. <\/p>\n
473
\n00:31:37,040 –> 00:31:41,760
\nHe feeds others.
\nHe feeds others. <\/p>\n
474
\n00:31:43,560 –> 00:31:46,440
\nNow something incredible
\nhappens. <\/p>\n
475
\n00:31:47,040 –> 00:31:51,080
\nWe’ve read so far their
\nblindness, their eyes were <\/p>\n
476
\n00:31:51,080 –> 00:31:54,480
\nHolden.
\nThey have no idea who this is, <\/p>\n
477
\n00:31:55,520 –> 00:31:58,120
\nbut something changes at this
\nmeal. <\/p>\n
478
\n00:31:58,640 –> 00:32:03,320
\nWhat is it that changes?
\nIt says verse 30. <\/p>\n
479
\n00:32:03,320 –> 00:32:06,160
\nAgain it came to pass, as he sat
\na meet with them, He took bread <\/p>\n
480
\n00:32:06,160 –> 00:32:11,760
\nand blessed it and break it and
\ngave it to them, and then their <\/p>\n
481
\n00:32:11,800 –> 00:32:16,840
\neyes were opened and they knew
\nhim. <\/p>\n
482
\n00:32:18,040 –> 00:32:22,520
\nIt was at this moment, the
\nmoment after not only hearing an<\/p>\n
483
\n00:32:22,520 –> 00:32:27,240
\nexhortation from Christ about
\nhow every sinew of Scriptures <\/p>\n
484
\n00:32:28,120 –> 00:32:31,920
\npointed to this man, it was the
\nmoment of breaking bread that <\/p>\n
485
\n00:32:31,920 –> 00:32:36,680
\nthe understand who was truly
\nthere at their dinner table. <\/p>\n
486
\n00:32:36,920 –> 00:32:39,840
\nThey knew Him, it says in verse
\n31. <\/p>\n
487
\n00:32:40,120 –> 00:32:42,880
\nBut what about the breaking of
\nbread made it so? <\/p>\n
488
\n00:32:42,880 –> 00:32:46,040
\nTheir eyes were open?
\nWhat made it so they instantly <\/p>\n
489
\n00:32:46,040 –> 00:32:51,880
\nsaw their Messiah?
\nHow does He reveal Himself a few<\/p>\n
490
\n00:32:51,880 –> 00:32:54,760
\nverses later?
\nThe disciples believe when they <\/p>\n
491
\n00:32:54,760 –> 00:33:00,520
\nwhat?
\nWhen they see his hands, so <\/p>\n
492
\n00:33:00,520 –> 00:33:06,360
\nChrist takes the bread, He
\nbreaks it, and they pull the <\/p>\n
493
\n00:33:06,360 –> 00:33:12,920
\nbread away from his hand, and
\nthey see the holes, and they <\/p>\n
494
\n00:33:13,120 –> 00:33:19,640
\ninstantly knew that’s Jesus,
\nthat’s the Messiah. <\/p>\n
495
\n00:33:22,560 –> 00:33:26,680
\nTheir eyes were open.
\nThey see his hands. <\/p>\n
496
\n00:33:28,120 –> 00:33:31,200
\nIt’s at this dinner.
\nJesus reaches across the table, <\/p>\n
497
\n00:33:31,200 –> 00:33:34,200
\nassuming the role of the host.
\nHe takes the bread. <\/p>\n
498
\n00:33:34,280 –> 00:33:36,800
\nHe breaks it into and he passes
\nit to each of them. <\/p>\n
499
\n00:33:36,960 –> 00:33:40,400
\nAnd when they take the bread
\nfrom his hand, they know that’s <\/p>\n
500
\n00:33:40,400 –> 00:33:44,480
\nChrist.
\nWe’ve been blind to who he was <\/p>\n
501
\n00:33:44,480 –> 00:33:49,560
\nthis whole time.
\nHe was a man who came to save. <\/p>\n
502
\n00:33:50,760 –> 00:33:55,440
\nHe was the man who died, not the
\nman who would conquer the world.<\/p>\n
503
\n00:33:55,960 –> 00:33:58,960
\nHe was a man who came just to
\ndie for sin. <\/p>\n
504
\n00:34:00,080 –> 00:34:07,600
\nThey knew now who he was.
\nSo without a doubt, this man’s <\/p>\n
505
\n00:34:07,720 –> 00:34:10,400
\nJesus.
\nOh, just imagine their <\/p>\n
506
\n00:34:10,400 –> 00:34:13,719
\nexcitement.
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
507
\n00:34:14,280 –> 00:34:16,280
\nIt’s Jesus.
\nHe chose to eat with us. <\/p>\n
508
\n00:34:16,520 –> 00:34:18,760
\nHe walked with us.
\nIt’s the resurrected Jesus. <\/p>\n
509
\n00:34:18,960 –> 00:34:23,400
\nI can’t wait to tell everyone I
\nhave AI have 1000 questions to <\/p>\n
510
\n00:34:23,400 –> 00:34:24,360
\nask you.
\nJesus. <\/p>\n
511
\n00:34:25,239 –> 00:34:28,800
\nAnd what does he do?
\nInstantly he vanishes out of <\/p>\n
512
\n00:34:28,800 –> 00:34:32,159
\ntheir sight.
\nHe’s gone. <\/p>\n
513
\n00:34:34,280 –> 00:34:38,000
\nTheir eyes are open to him and
\nbefore they can even get a <\/p>\n
514
\n00:34:38,000 –> 00:34:41,440
\nsingle question out, he
\nvanishes. <\/p>\n
515
\n00:34:45,199 –> 00:34:51,920
\nHis work there was done.
\nAnd they sit there absolutely <\/p>\n
516
\n00:34:52,120 –> 00:34:55,159
\ndumbfounded.
\nThat’s what they’ve just <\/p>\n
517
\n00:34:55,159 –> 00:34:59,080
\nwitnessed.
\nAnd they recap in verse 32. <\/p>\n
518
\n00:34:59,080 –> 00:35:04,240
\nAnd they said one to another,
\nDidn’t our heart burn within us <\/p>\n
519
\n00:35:05,160 –> 00:35:08,320
\nwhile we talked, while He talked
\nwith us, by the way, while He <\/p>\n
520
\n00:35:08,640 –> 00:35:16,680
\nopened to us the Scriptures.
\nThat was the Christ, and they <\/p>\n
521
\n00:35:16,680 –> 00:35:20,520
\nrose up the same hour.
\nAnd where did they go? <\/p>\n
522
\n00:35:24,040 –> 00:35:30,600
\nThey returned to Jerusalem,
\nbrothers and sisters. <\/p>\n
523
\n00:35:31,000 –> 00:35:32,880
\nThat’s why Luke ends with this
\nstory. <\/p>\n
524
\n00:35:36,200 –> 00:35:41,080
\nLife comes from Jerusalem, and
\nthese two, blind to who their <\/p>\n
525
\n00:35:41,080 –> 00:35:48,480
\nMessiah was, leave the city.
\nAnd Christ says, come on back, <\/p>\n
526
\n00:35:50,160 –> 00:35:56,480
\nwe belong here.
\nLife is here and he reveals who <\/p>\n
527
\n00:35:56,480 –> 00:36:00,840
\nhe is, who he truly was, not the
\nman the world assumed he was. <\/p>\n
528
\n00:36:01,520 –> 00:36:09,000
\nA man who humbly gave himself.
\nAnd we also remember him in the <\/p>\n
529
\n00:36:09,000 –> 00:36:12,360
\nbreaking of bread.
\nSo they leave home. <\/p>\n
530
\n00:36:13,280 –> 00:36:19,280
\nIt’s night now, it says verse
\n33. <\/p>\n
531
\n00:36:19,280 –> 00:36:25,320
\nThey rose up the same hour,
\nreturned to Jerusalem and found <\/p>\n
532
\n00:36:25,320 –> 00:36:30,080
\nthe 11 gathered together and
\nthem that were with them. <\/p>\n
533
\n00:36:31,440 –> 00:36:34,880
\nThey now know exactly what they
\nhave to do. <\/p>\n
534
\n00:36:35,280 –> 00:36:38,320
\nThey know exactly where they
\nhave to go. <\/p>\n
535
\n00:36:39,320 –> 00:36:41,720
\nThey have to return to
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
536
\n00:36:42,160 –> 00:36:45,480
\nNow we before we join these two
\nback on their journey, we should<\/p>\n
537
\n00:36:45,480 –> 00:36:49,400
\nlook back really quick and just
\nsimply stall on a principle for <\/p>\n
538
\n00:36:49,400 –> 00:36:53,200
\na bit.
\nAs we alluded to, this isn’t the<\/p>\n
539
\n00:36:53,200 –> 00:36:57,280
\nfirst time a couple was given
\nsomething to eat and in <\/p>\n
540
\n00:36:57,280 –> 00:37:01,360
\npartaking of that food had their
\neyes open to something new. <\/p>\n
541
\n00:37:02,560 –> 00:37:05,640
\nThis is not the first time and
\nthere’s a lot of clues that if <\/p>\n
542
\n00:37:05,640 –> 00:37:10,280
\nwe read carefully we would have
\nseen Luke 2436 it says Jesus <\/p>\n
543
\n00:37:10,280 –> 00:37:14,400
\nstood in their midst.
\nGenesis 2 there’s a tree of life<\/p>\n
544
\n00:37:14,400 –> 00:37:20,080
\nwas placed in the midst of the
\ngarden gave Luke 24 verse 30. <\/p>\n
545
\n00:37:20,280 –> 00:37:25,680
\nHe broke it and he gave to them.
\nGenesis 3\/6 she took of the <\/p>\n
546
\n00:37:25,680 –> 00:37:29,080
\nfruit and gave also to her
\nhusband. <\/p>\n
547
\n00:37:30,200 –> 00:37:35,720
\nEyes opened.
\nIt says in Luke 2431 their eyes <\/p>\n
548
\n00:37:35,720 –> 00:37:41,080
\nwere opened and they knew him.
\nGenesis 37 eyes of them both <\/p>\n
549
\n00:37:41,080 –> 00:37:43,840
\nwere opened and they knew that
\nthey were naked. <\/p>\n
550
\n00:37:44,240 –> 00:37:48,080
\nThis is telling the same story.
\nScripture starts off with it’s <\/p>\n
551
\n00:37:48,080 –> 00:37:53,920
\nlittle passages like this that
\nmake us stand in wonder at this <\/p>\n
552
\n00:37:53,920 –> 00:38:02,840
\nbook, and it’s passages exactly
\nlike this that these two would <\/p>\n
553
\n00:38:02,840 –> 00:38:05,520
\nhave been exhorted on on the
\nroad to Emmaus. <\/p>\n
554
\n00:38:06,040 –> 00:38:13,120
\nWhen Jesus reveals how
\neverything related to him at <\/p>\n
555
\n00:38:13,120 –> 00:38:18,720
\nBible schools, we get the
\nsimplest of dustings of these. <\/p>\n
556
\n00:38:19,960 –> 00:38:22,240
\nImagine what Jesus was able to
\ngive. <\/p>\n
557
\n00:38:23,440 –> 00:38:28,280
\nImagine their conviction on
\nhearing from himself these <\/p>\n
558
\n00:38:28,280 –> 00:38:31,600
\nthings.
\nOh, what we would have given to <\/p>\n
559
\n00:38:31,600 –> 00:38:36,360
\njust hear some of them.
\nAnd it says their eyes were <\/p>\n
560
\n00:38:36,360 –> 00:38:40,000
\nopened because this has happened
\nbefore. <\/p>\n
561
\n00:38:41,080 –> 00:38:48,680
\nSerpent, as a host, offered food
\nto his two guests, the two <\/p>\n
562
\n00:38:48,680 –> 00:38:52,920
\nguests not quite grasping who it
\nwas, providing the food. <\/p>\n
563
\n00:38:53,080 –> 00:38:56,360
\nThey partake of it, and by
\neating the food, their eyes are <\/p>\n
564
\n00:38:56,360 –> 00:38:59,280
\nopen to something brand new.
\nThey gain an understanding they <\/p>\n
565
\n00:38:59,280 –> 00:39:01,600
\ndidn’t have before.
\nIt should have been obvious that<\/p>\n
566
\n00:39:01,600 –> 00:39:03,920
\nthey have listened properly all
\nalong, but they missed it. <\/p>\n
567
\n00:39:04,440 –> 00:39:06,800
\nIn the garden, Adam and Eve
\npartake of the fruit. <\/p>\n
568
\n00:39:06,840 –> 00:39:10,840
\nThey learn evil, but when the
\ntwo travelers partake of the <\/p>\n
569
\n00:39:10,840 –> 00:39:15,000
\nfood, they learn true goodness
\nprovided by who Christ actually <\/p>\n
570
\n00:39:15,000 –> 00:39:17,800
\nwas in the Garden.
\nAdam and Eve have their eyes <\/p>\n
571
\n00:39:17,800 –> 00:39:21,360
\nopen to sin and death and pain,
\nand it’s passed on to all. <\/p>\n
572
\n00:39:21,480 –> 00:39:25,640
\nBut the travelers have their
\neyes open to a man who provided <\/p>\n
573
\n00:39:25,640 –> 00:39:29,800
\nlife and passed that on to all
\nin the Garden. <\/p>\n
574
\n00:39:29,960 –> 00:39:33,400
\nAdam and Eve immediately
\nunderstands what God had been <\/p>\n
575
\n00:39:33,400 –> 00:39:36,240
\ntelling them all along.
\nThe warnings were now crystal <\/p>\n
576
\n00:39:36,240 –> 00:39:38,960
\nclear.
\nSo to the travelers, after <\/p>\n
577
\n00:39:38,960 –> 00:39:42,120
\npartaking of the bread,
\nimmediately, instantly <\/p>\n
578
\n00:39:42,120 –> 00:39:45,200
\nunderstand everything Christ had
\njust told them. <\/p>\n
579
\n00:39:45,560 –> 00:39:52,800
\nIt all clicked and the very next
\nthing they do is they go to <\/p>\n
580
\n00:39:52,800 –> 00:40:00,520
\nJerusalem.
\nThey understand now that that’s <\/p>\n
581
\n00:40:00,520 –> 00:40:05,320
\nwhere they belonged.
\nThis is our dream to Jerusalem, <\/p>\n
582
\n00:40:05,320 –> 00:40:11,360
\nisn’t it, brothers and sisters?
\nChrist went to that city most <\/p>\n
583
\n00:40:11,360 –> 00:40:16,880
\ndefinitely not as a stranger,
\nbut as the man who would save <\/p>\n
584
\n00:40:16,880 –> 00:40:20,640
\nthe world.
\nNow we’re given a three-step <\/p>\n
585
\n00:40:20,640 –> 00:40:28,880
\nprocess to eyes being opened in
\nthis chapter, Luke 24 verse 32. <\/p>\n
586
\n00:40:29,680 –> 00:40:33,760
\nThey said one to another didn’t
\npass tense. <\/p>\n
587
\n00:40:34,160 –> 00:40:39,000
\nOur hearts burn within us.
\nFirstly, brothers and sisters, <\/p>\n
588
\n00:40:39,200 –> 00:40:47,880
\nwe need to have our hearts open
\nto understand the true character<\/p>\n
589
\n00:40:47,880 –> 00:40:52,040
\nof Christ, the true mission and
\npurpose of Christ. <\/p>\n
590
\n00:40:52,240 –> 00:40:58,000
\nWhen the hearts are open, it
\nsays in verse 31 your eyes can <\/p>\n
591
\n00:40:58,000 –> 00:41:07,880
\nbe opened and they knew him.
\nAnd finally, once our hearts <\/p>\n
592
\n00:41:07,880 –> 00:41:14,000
\nhave been accepting and we see
\nwith the eyes of faith that it <\/p>\n
593
\n00:41:14,000 –> 00:41:20,600
\nsays in verse 45 will bring
\nunderstanding, then open to <\/p>\n
594
\n00:41:20,720 –> 00:41:24,560
\ntheir understanding that they
\nmight understand the Scriptures.<\/p>\n
595
\n00:41:26,480 –> 00:41:32,440
\nBrothers and sisters, He reveals
\nhimself to us in the breaking of<\/p>\n
596
\n00:41:32,440 –> 00:41:35,640
\nbread.
\nIt’s at the table of emblems <\/p>\n
597
\n00:41:35,640 –> 00:41:39,080
\nevery single week that we know
\nwho Jesus is. <\/p>\n
598
\n00:41:40,720 –> 00:41:47,400
\nHe’s merciful, He’s gracious, He
\ngave everything. <\/p>\n
599
\n00:41:48,440 –> 00:41:52,320
\nThat’s who Jesus is.
\nIs that the man that you <\/p>\n
600
\n00:41:52,320 –> 00:41:54,320
\npicture?
\nIs that the image you see? <\/p>\n
601
\n00:41:54,320 –> 00:42:01,800
\nIs that the mold that you see
\nJesus taking or do we see a <\/p>\n
602
\n00:42:01,800 –> 00:42:08,080
\nJesus who’s merciful to us?
\nBut I hope he’ll rain fire down <\/p>\n
603
\n00:42:08,080 –> 00:42:12,680
\non them.
\nThis Jesus is one who brought <\/p>\n
604
\n00:42:12,720 –> 00:42:17,240
\nlife for everyone.
\nHe walked to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
605
\n00:42:17,400 –> 00:42:21,800
\nHe put himself on the cross to
\nbear the sins of the world and <\/p>\n
606
\n00:42:21,800 –> 00:42:23,640
\nwas accepted to the right hand
\nof his Father. <\/p>\n
607
\n00:42:24,760 –> 00:42:28,280
\nSo it says in verse 33 they
\nreturned to Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
608
\n00:42:31,400 –> 00:42:37,120
\nLet’s pick up our journey then
\nwhere we left off and they found<\/p>\n
609
\n00:42:37,120 –> 00:42:40,600
\nthe 11 gathered together and
\nthem that were with them saying <\/p>\n
610
\n00:42:40,800 –> 00:42:44,800
\nthe Lord, they said the Lord is
\nrisen indeed and he hath <\/p>\n
611
\n00:42:44,800 –> 00:42:46,800
\nappeared to Simon.
\nThis is the clue that we have <\/p>\n
612
\n00:42:46,880 –> 00:42:51,720
\nthat possibly he had appeared to
\nSimon before, but they reveal to<\/p>\n
613
\n00:42:51,720 –> 00:42:57,200
\nthe 11 that Christ was certainly
\nrisen and how he made himself <\/p>\n
614
\n00:42:57,280 –> 00:43:01,160
\nknown.
\nVerse 35 in the breaking of <\/p>\n
615
\n00:43:01,160 –> 00:43:07,960
\nbread, it’s eating again.
\nThat’s how he made himself known<\/p>\n
616
\n00:43:08,240 –> 00:43:12,200
\nto his brethren.
\nNow you’ll never guess where the<\/p>\n
617
\n00:43:12,200 –> 00:43:16,320
\nstory goes from here, do you?
\nVerse 36 And as they thus spake,<\/p>\n
618
\n00:43:17,320 –> 00:43:20,240
\nJesus himself stood in the midst
\nof them and said to them, Peace <\/p>\n
619
\n00:43:20,240 –> 00:43:23,040
\nbe unto you.
\nSo as they the two run in and <\/p>\n
620
\n00:43:23,040 –> 00:43:25,440
\nthey’re explaining to this, who
\nappears? <\/p>\n
621
\n00:43:26,960 –> 00:43:32,080
\nJesus himself.
\nJesus himself appears again. <\/p>\n
622
\n00:43:35,320 –> 00:43:37,760
\nBut they verse 37 were
\nterrified. <\/p>\n
623
\n00:43:38,120 –> 00:43:40,600
\nThey were affrighted.
\nThey supposed they had seen a <\/p>\n
624
\n00:43:40,600 –> 00:43:44,080
\nspirit.
\nAnd he said unto them, Why are <\/p>\n
625
\n00:43:44,080 –> 00:43:45,600
\nyou troubled?
\nWhy do you thought to rise in <\/p>\n
626
\n00:43:45,600 –> 00:43:47,120
\nyour hearts?
\nBehold, he says, look at my <\/p>\n
627
\n00:43:47,120 –> 00:43:53,560
\nhands and my feet.
\nIt’s I myself handle me and see,<\/p>\n
628
\n00:43:53,840 –> 00:44:00,800
\nsee, see who I am.
\nFor Spirit has not flesh and <\/p>\n
629
\n00:44:00,800 –> 00:44:04,040
\nbones, as ye see me have.
\nAnd when he had thus spoken, he <\/p>\n
630
\n00:44:04,040 –> 00:44:05,280
\nshowed them his hands and his
\nfeet. <\/p>\n
631
\n00:44:05,400 –> 00:44:08,160
\nAnd while yet believe not for
\njoy and wondered, He said unto <\/p>\n
632
\n00:44:08,160 –> 00:44:10,120
\nthem, We looked at this
\nyesterday, Do you have anything <\/p>\n
633
\n00:44:10,120 –> 00:44:13,840
\nto eat?
\nAnd he’s going to partake now of<\/p>\n
634
\n00:44:13,840 –> 00:44:20,960
\nthe food, and eat in front of
\nthem, to prove it’s me. <\/p>\n
635
\n00:44:20,960 –> 00:44:24,440
\nIt’s Jesus, it’s actually me,
\nand he eats. <\/p>\n
636
\n00:44:26,520 –> 00:44:28,280
\nWe read in verse 44 the familiar
\nwords. <\/p>\n
637
\n00:44:28,280 –> 00:44:32,280
\nYesterday He said unto them,
\nThese are the words which I <\/p>\n
638
\n00:44:32,280 –> 00:44:36,040
\nspake unto you, while I was yet
\nwith you, that all things must <\/p>\n
639
\n00:44:36,040 –> 00:44:39,440
\nbe fulfilled, which was written
\nin the law of Moses, and in the <\/p>\n
640
\n00:44:39,440 –> 00:44:49,480
\nprophets, and in the Psalms
\nconcerning me, concerning me. <\/p>\n
641
\n00:44:50,560 –> 00:44:55,320
\nThen think of these words in
\nverse 45. <\/p>\n
642
\n00:44:57,320 –> 00:45:02,600
\nHe opened their understanding,
\nthat they might understand the <\/p>\n
643
\n00:45:02,600 –> 00:45:09,640
\nScriptures, and said unto them
\nfamiliar words to the disciples,<\/p>\n
644
\n00:45:10,400 –> 00:45:12,800
\nbut meant an infinite amount
\nmore. <\/p>\n
645
\n00:45:12,960 –> 00:45:18,680
\nNow thus it is written, And thus
\nit was needful for Christ to <\/p>\n
646
\n00:45:18,680 –> 00:45:21,960
\nsuffer and to rise from the dead
\nthe third day, and that <\/p>\n
647
\n00:45:23,360 –> 00:45:28,920
\nrepentance and remission of sins
\nshould be preached in His name <\/p>\n
648
\n00:45:29,840 –> 00:45:34,880
\namong all nations, beginning at
\nJerusalem. <\/p>\n
649
\n00:45:37,760 –> 00:45:44,920
\nSo brothers and sisters, He now
\nexpounds to his eleven friends <\/p>\n
650
\n00:45:46,080 –> 00:45:52,120
\nhow everything pointed to this,
\nand He opens their understanding<\/p>\n
651
\n00:45:53,920 –> 00:46:00,560
\nand how everything starts in
\nJerusalem, beginning at <\/p>\n
652
\n00:46:00,560 –> 00:46:02,960
\nJerusalem, and it’s all going to
\nstart here. <\/p>\n
653
\n00:46:03,080 –> 00:46:06,320
\nThis is where it starts, it’s
\nthis city. <\/p>\n
654
\n00:46:06,480 –> 00:46:11,640
\nSo it goes on and it says, and
\nye are witnesses of these <\/p>\n
655
\n00:46:11,640 –> 00:46:13,760
\nthings.
\nAnd behold, I send you the <\/p>\n
656
\n00:46:13,760 –> 00:46:18,880
\npromise of my Father upon you.
\nBut he says, Tarry ye in the <\/p>\n
657
\n00:46:18,880 –> 00:46:25,960
\ncity of Jerusalem, wait here, He
\nsays, this is Luke’s story. <\/p>\n
658
\n00:46:26,800 –> 00:46:32,160
\nIt ends with him saying,
\ndisciples, you made it. <\/p>\n
659
\n00:46:33,600 –> 00:46:37,640
\nWait here for further
\ninstructions. <\/p>\n
660
\n00:46:38,920 –> 00:46:42,280
\nTarry ye here in the city of
\nJerusalem, until ye be endued <\/p>\n
661
\n00:46:42,280 –> 00:46:46,920
\nwith power from on high.
\nAnd then we read the familiar <\/p>\n
662
\n00:46:47,280 –> 00:46:50,640
\nwords from Brother Stevens
\nclass, and he led them out as <\/p>\n
663
\n00:46:50,640 –> 00:46:54,360
\nfar as to Bethany, lifted his
\nhands, and blessed them. <\/p>\n
664
\n00:46:55,720 –> 00:46:58,360
\nAnd it came to pass, while he
\nblessed them, he was parted from<\/p>\n
665
\n00:46:58,360 –> 00:47:04,640
\nthem, carried up into heaven,
\nand they worshipped him, and <\/p>\n
666
\n00:47:04,640 –> 00:47:10,840
\nthey returned to Jerusalem with
\ngreat joy and they were <\/p>\n
667
\n00:47:10,840 –> 00:47:15,280
\ncontinually in the temple
\npraising and blessing God. <\/p>\n
668
\n00:47:17,720 –> 00:47:21,080
\nAnd they were to remain in the
\ncity of Jerusalem until we get <\/p>\n
669
\n00:47:21,080 –> 00:47:23,200
\nto the second volume of Luke’s
\nworks. <\/p>\n
670
\n00:47:24,680 –> 00:47:29,480
\nSo the Gospel of Luke ends with
\nthis seemingly bizarre random <\/p>\n
671
\n00:47:29,480 –> 00:47:33,720
\nstory, a story that doesn’t seem
\nto make any difference if it <\/p>\n
672
\n00:47:33,720 –> 00:47:35,000
\nwere included in the text or
\nnot. <\/p>\n
673
\n00:47:35,160 –> 00:47:38,480
\nThere probably were countless
\npeople that Jesus walked with on<\/p>\n
674
\n00:47:38,480 –> 00:47:43,320
\nroads.
\nBut this one is given the <\/p>\n
675
\n00:47:43,320 –> 00:47:47,720
\nconcluding chapter in Luke’s
\nGospel, his first book to <\/p>\n
676
\n00:47:47,720 –> 00:47:51,840
\nTheophilus.
\nWhat an amazing, amazing plot <\/p>\n
677
\n00:47:51,840 –> 00:47:56,880
\npriority that he places on the
\nimportance of getting to <\/p>\n
678
\n00:47:56,880 –> 00:48:01,160
\nJerusalem.
\nSo as we’ve made it into the <\/p>\n
679
\n00:48:01,160 –> 00:48:05,200
\ncity in our sessions, we still
\nrace obviously towards Jerusalem<\/p>\n
680
\n00:48:05,280 –> 00:48:06,640
\nin our lives, brothers and
\nsisters. <\/p>\n
681
\n00:48:07,080 –> 00:48:11,120
\nBut tomorrow, God willing, we’ll
\ngo beyond Jerusalem. <\/p>\n
682
\n00:48:12,160 –> 00:48:16,280
\nWe’ll see that Jesus’s mission
\nwasn’t even close to completion.<\/p>\n
683
\n00:48:17,280 –> 00:48:23,600
\nIt was beginning at Jerusalem.
\nWe’ll see in the book of Acts. <\/p>\n
684
\n00:48:23,640 –> 00:48:34,840
\nFinally, he has now convicted,
\nmotivated, educated apostles, <\/p>\n
685
\n00:48:36,800 –> 00:48:40,480
\nand he showed them He came to
\nfulfill everything, and that <\/p>\n
686
\n00:48:40,480 –> 00:48:45,160
\neverything that was written
\nabout him in the prophets and in<\/p>\n
687
\n00:48:45,160 –> 00:48:50,240
\nthe Psalms and in the Law was
