Jesus, 24 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 2: the Savior of the world, rose from the tomb to 25 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: prove that death had no power over him. Death was 26 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: to as Jesus walked in the resurrection. Jesus appeared to 27 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 2: the two Marys and told them to give word to 28 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: the disciples that he had returned. Now we see Jesus 29 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 2: revealing himself to two men on the road to Emmaeus. 30 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 2: They would pave the way for Jesus to come and 31 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: reveal himself to the disciples inspired by the Gospel. 32 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 3: We're so glad you joined us on the Bible and 33 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: of your podcast today.

In our 45 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 3: previous episode, we heard about the glorious resurrection of Jesus 46 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 3: and how he appeared to the women who went to 47 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: his tomb on the third Day. With his resurrection, Jesus 48 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,400 Speaker 3: conquered sin, death, and hell once and for all. It 49 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 3: was the completion of God's plan of redemption that began 50 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: the moment that He created the world, the moment Adam 51 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 3: and Eve fell into sin and God's plan of salvation 52 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 3: was promised. Today we'll hear how Jesus appears to two 53 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: travelers on the road to Emmaus. The men will not 54 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 3: recognize Jesus even as he explains the whole arc of 55 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 3: God's redemptive plan for them and the world. But finally, 56 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 3: as they break bread together, their world would change in 57 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: a moment and their hearts would burn with fire. Let's 58 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: listen now to the reading of the gospel. 59 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 2: It was late morning and two disciples were walking to 60 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:05,200 Speaker 2: village called Emmaeus. About seven miles from Jerusalem. The two 61 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: friends spoke in great length about the events of the 62 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: past week, Jesus turning over tables and the temple, the 63 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 2: trail in from Poontius Pilot, and the brutal slaughter of 64 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,240 Speaker 2: Jesus on the cross. All these things were quite disturbing 65 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: and challenged their views on who the Messiah was. They 66 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 2: had thought it was Jesus, but his death had proven 67 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: to them otherwise. As they were walking and talking with 68 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 2: one another, a traveler joined them on the road. What 69 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 2: were you discussing just now, the traveler asked. The two 70 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 2: men paused for a moment, astonished that the traveler had 71 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: not heard the news. Are you new here, sir, they scoffed. 72 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: All of Jerusalem is in chaos because of what happened 73 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: this past week. You must have just arrived here today 74 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 2: if you have not heard about it yet. Tell me 75 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 2: what has happened, the traveler asked, with a smile. It's 76 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 2: Jesus of Nazareth, still astonished that he did not know 77 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: these things. He was a man who was mighty. He 78 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: performed many miracles and spoke with words so powerful that 79 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,359 Speaker 2: they seemed to be from God himself. One of the 80 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 2: men sighed and scratched his head. But I guess he 81 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: was too good to be true. He was killed by 82 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 2: the Romans, given up by our very own priests and elders. 83 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 2: They crucified him only three days ago. The three men 84 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 2: walked together, enjoying the fresh air and good conversation. One 85 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 2: of the men wore a sorrowful face as he spoke, saying, 86 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 2: we hoped he was the one to redeem Israel, the 87 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: son of David. But he is dead now. The other 88 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: man interjected and said, but there were a few women 89 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 2: who claimed he was removed from the tomb. No one 90 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 2: knows where his body is. The two men bickered over 91 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: whether the rumors of his resurrection were true or just 92 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 2: a made up sham. The traveler listened to the two 93 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 2: men argue. He shook his head and chuckled. Wasn't it 94 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 2: prophesied that the Messiah would suffer these things before rising 95 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: again in glory? He asked. The two men looked at 96 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 2: the traveler, confused and curious. The traveler then began to 97 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: recount the entire story of God, from Adam and Eve 98 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: to Abraham, from Moses and the captives to Joshua and 99 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 2: the judges, from David and Goliath to Solomon and the Temple, 100 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 2: from the Babylonian captivity to the rebuilding of the walls 101 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 2: of Jerusalem. The traveler retold every story showing how the 102 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: Messiah was interviewed. In all of it. The two men 103 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 2: listened to the traveler in complete silence. They listened as 104 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: he explained prophecy and allegory. They learned about how the 105 00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 2: Messiah was foretold since the beginning of Genesis. Every word 106 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 2: spoken from the traveler's mouth entered into their hearts. As 107 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 2: they reached the end of their journey to Ammaeus, they 108 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 2: ate together and spoke more of Jesus, the prophets, and 109 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 2: the story of God. May I bless the food, the 110 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 2: traveler said. The two men nodded, and the traveler prayed 111 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 2: to God and broke the bread in front of the table. 112 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 2: As the bread torn had the men's eyes were opened, 113 00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 2: they saw the traveler for who he really was, Jesus, 114 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: the risen King, the Shepherd of Israel, the one whom 115 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: the whole story of God centered around. Then, just as 116 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 2: they were about to worship him, he vanished. The two 117 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,320 Speaker 2: men ran into town, screaming and proclaiming the risen Lord. 118 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 2: They shouted into the city streets that Jesus was alive. 119 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 2: He was alive and walking among them. Death could not 120 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: hold the Son of God captive. He had overcome death, 121 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,239 Speaker 2: just as it was foretold since the beginning of time. 122 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 2: The disciples were entrenched in their homes with the doors locked, 123 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: afraid that the High Priest would come for them next. 124 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 2: So much sorrow, so much grief, so much loss welled 125 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: up within them. Their king, their teacher, and their friend 126 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 2: had died. All hope seemed lost as they rotted in 127 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: their home waiting to be taken. Then a still and 128 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 2: quiet voice spoke from the corner of the room, Peace 129 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 2: be with you. The disciples turned their heads to see 130 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: Jesus standing among them. His smile was radiant, and his 131 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 2: presence was refreshing, like a cool spring in a desolate desert. 132 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 2: The disciples were frightened at first, thinking that they were 133 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: witnessing a ghost. 134 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: Do not be scared, Jesus said. 135 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 2: Why do your hearts rise with trouble, as if in 136 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: the storm. The disciples grew closer to see Jesus in 137 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 2: his glory. Look upon my hands and feet, See the 138 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: scars for yourselves. They fell at his feet and worshiped him. 139 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,079 Speaker 2: Jesus ate with them and spoke of the fulfillment of prophecy, 140 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 2: that the Messiah must suffer and rise again for humanity 141 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 2: to be redeemed. Then Jesus embraced them and breathed on them, saying, 142 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: receive the Holy Spirit. The same breath that breathed life 143 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 2: and a mankind in the garden of Eden breathed new 144 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,000 Speaker 2: life into the disciples that day. 145 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: In our Bible today we find two disciples on a 146 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 3: road outside of Jerusalem. They are headed to a small 147 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 3: town called Amaeus. This wasn't an all day trek, but 148 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: it wasn't a short walk either, so there was plenty 149 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 3: of time for a long conversation, and there was so 150 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 3: much to talk about. This was the same day that 151 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 3: Jesus rose from the grave, and though these two disciples 152 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 3: had heard rumors of what the women at the tomb 153 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 3: had said, they still thought Jesus was dead. As they walked, 154 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 3: they were joined by another traveler, someone they did not 155 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: recognize or know, and this one did not seem to 156 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,959 Speaker 3: know what had been going on the last several days 157 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 3: with Jesus and the disciples. This man, of course, was 158 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 3: Jesus himself, but they were kept from recognizing him. Why 159 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:51,719 Speaker 3: were they prevented from seeing Jesus for who he was, Well, 160 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 3: we really don't know the answer to this question, but 161 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 3: as the reading continues, we will see that their failure 162 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 3: to recognize Jesus allowed Lord to guide them through scripture 163 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 3: and to help them have a life of faith based 164 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,200 Speaker 3: not just on sight but exactly what the Word of 165 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 3: God said from the very beginning. What a privilege these 166 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: men had to walk with the Word of God step 167 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 3: by step and to understand who Jesus is and why 168 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,959 Speaker 3: he came. When Jesus asked them what things had been 169 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,920 Speaker 3: happening in order to draw them out, they begin to 170 00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 3: tell him everything about Jesus of Nazareth, how he had 171 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: healed many people, taught with great authority, and built a 172 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: large following of people who believed that he was the 173 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,880 Speaker 3: promised Messiah. They told him how the chief priest and 174 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 3: rulers had handed Jesus over to be crucified, and now 175 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,520 Speaker 3: their hopes seemed gone gone forever, as it had already 176 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 3: been three days that Jesus was in the tomb. They 177 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 3: continued saying that they had heard about the empty tomb 178 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 3: and what others had seen. But despite what they had 179 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 3: heard from trusted friends, these men were still skeptical. Jesus 180 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 3: then spoke up, saying in Luke twenty four, verses twenty 181 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 3: five to twenty seven, Oh, foolish ones and slow of 182 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 3: heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken? Was 183 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 3: it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things 184 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: and enter into his glory? And, beginning with Moses and 185 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 3: all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures, 186 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 3: the things concerning himself. So on that road Jesus gave 187 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 3: these men a masterclass in biblical interpretation. He was revealing 188 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: to them that everything in God's Word had pointed to Jesus, 189 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 3: that Jesus is the focus of the Bible, that our 190 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: faith and trust in him helps us know what the 191 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 3: Bible is all about. Despite what they had experienced in 192 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,040 Speaker 3: seeing Jesus do before his death, they were still blind 193 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: to the truth of God, and really blind to who 194 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 3: Jesus was until he walked with them in the Word. 195 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 3: Now this is an important lesson for us today as well. 196 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: Too often whose hope because we don't see things the 197 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 3: way we want to see them, when in reality, what 198 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 3: we should be doing is increasing our faith by getting 199 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: into God's word and hearing what God has said. That's 200 00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 3: why I hope that you have connected with the Bible 201 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 3: in a year to find out more about what the 202 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 3: Bible is about and who Jesus is. The Scripture says 203 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 3: in the Book of Romans, faith comes by hearing and 204 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 3: hearing by the word of God. We believe in trust 205 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 3: in God's word and experience the presence of God, because 206 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: the life of God is in his word. His breath 207 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 3: has inspired it. If these men had seen Jesus and 208 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,960 Speaker 3: recognized him immediately, perhaps they would have missed their opportunity 209 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: to learn the word of God and how to put 210 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 3: their faith and trust in Christ and find the answers 211 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,559 Speaker 3: that they were seeking, in most of all, the hope 212 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 3: they so desperately needed. These men must have hung on 213 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 3: to every word their traveling companion spoke, And when they 214 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 3: arrived at Amais, they urged the Lord to and eat 215 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,440 Speaker 3: with them. And as they dined, Jesus blessed the meal, 216 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 3: and he broke the bread, just as he had done 217 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 3: just days before the Passover meal. And that's when these 218 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 3: men's eyes were open, and they saw their Savior. Before 219 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 3: they could say or do anything, Jesus disappeared without hesitation. 220 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 3: They immediately made the eight mile trip back to Jerusalem 221 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 3: to tell the other disciples that they indeed had seen Jesus, 222 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 3: that Jesus is alive. We then heard how Jesus appeared 223 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 3: to his disciples who had just heard the news from Amaeas. 224 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 3: This time, he was immediately recognizable, but they thought he 225 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: was there in spirit. So Jesus let them touch him 226 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 3: and see the scars on his hands and his feet, 227 00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,719 Speaker 3: because they were now in the presence of Christ himself, 228 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,320 Speaker 3: not a fatom, not a ghost, not a spirit, but 229 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 3: the body of Jesus. Jesus rose from the grave, victoriously 230 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 3: and bodily. He would not be with them long, but 231 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: Jesus had a lot of work to do with these disciples, 232 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 3: to prepare them for the mission that he would give 233 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 3: them to take this good news to the world. We'll 234 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 3: hear more about that in our next episode. Let's pray together. 235 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 3: Dear God, we thank you for the resurrection for the 236 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 3: Living Lord, and we, along with those disciples who walked 237 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: with him that day on the road to Emais, asked 238 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 3: that you would revive our hearts, that you would set 239 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 3: us on fire with your word, and that we could 240 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 3: say with these travelers with Jesus, did not our hearts 241 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 3: burn within us when we walk with him in the way, 242 00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: Oh God, let our hearts burn with fire for you 243 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 3: in Jesus's name.
