As I am 3 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:14,080 Speaker 1: traveling through life, and when I experience moments of sadness 4 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: because it seems like you are not with me any longer, 5 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 1: I will be reminded of Luke twenty four thirteen forty five. 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 1: I will remember that your word declares that you will 7 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: never leave me or forsake me.

Jesus, 24 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: the Savior of the world, rose from the tomb to 25 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 2: prove that death had no power over him. Death was 26 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 2: to feed as Jesus walked in the resurrection, Jesus appeared 27 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 2: to the two Marys and told them to give word 28 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 2: to the disciples that he had returned. Now we see 29 00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 2: Jesus revealing himself to two men on the road to Emmaeus. 30 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 2: They would pave the way for Jesus to come and 31 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,239 Speaker 2: reveal himself to the disciples inspired by the Gospel. 32 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us today for the Bible in 33 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 3: a Year podcast. You are joining millions of people across 34 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: the world who are walking with us through the Bible 35 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:36,840 Speaker 3: day by day. God bless you. In our previous episode, 36 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 3: we heard about the glorious resurrection of Jesus and how 37 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: he appeared to the women who went to his tomb 38 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 3: on the third day. With his resurrection, Jesus conquered sin, death, 39 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 3: and hell once and for all. It was the completion 40 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 3: of God's plan of redemption that began the moment that 41 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 3: He created the world, the moment Adam and Eve fell 42 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 3: into sin and God's plan of salvation was promised. Today 43 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: we'll hear how Jesus appears to two travelers on the 44 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: road to Emmaeas. The men will not recognize Jesus even 45 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: as he explains the whole arc of God's redemptive plan 46 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 3: for them and the world. But finally, as they break 47 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 3: bread together, their world would change in a moment, and 48 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: their hearts would burn with fire. Let's listen now to 49 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:23,079 Speaker 3: the reading of the gospel. 50 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: It was late morning and two disciples were walking to 51 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 2: a village called Emmaeus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. The 52 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 2: two friends spoke in great length about the events of 53 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: the past week, Jesus turning over tables and the temple, 54 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: the trail in from Poontius Pilot, and the brutal slaughter 55 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: of Jesus on the cross. All these things were quite 56 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 2: disturbing and challenged their views on who the Messiah was. 57 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,119 Speaker 2: They had thought it was Jesus, but his death had 58 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: proven to them otherwise. As they were walking and talking 59 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: with one another, a traveler joined them on the road. 60 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 2: What were you discussing. Just now, the traveler asked. The 61 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 2: two men paused for a moment, astonished that the traveler 62 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:11,119 Speaker 2: had not heard the news. Are you new here, sir? 63 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 3: They scoffed. 64 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: All of Jerusalem is in chaos because of what happened 65 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 2: this past week. You must have just arrived here today 66 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 2: if you have not heard about it yet. Tell me 67 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: what has happened, the traveler asked, with a smile. It's 68 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: Jesus of Nazareth, still astonished that he did not know 69 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: these things. He was a man who was mighty. He 70 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: performed many miracles and spoke with words so powerful that 71 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 2: they seemed to be from God himself. One of the 72 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: men sighed and scratched his head. But I guess he 73 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: was too good to be true. He was killed by 74 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: the Romans, given up by our very own priests and elders. 75 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 2: They crucified him only three days ago. The three men 76 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: walked together, enjoying the fresh air and good conversation. One 77 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: of the men wore a sorrowful face as he spoke, saying, 78 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 2: we hoped he was the one to redeem it Israel, 79 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 2: the son of David, But he is dead now. The 80 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: other men interjected and said, but there were a few 81 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 2: women who claimed he was removed from the tomb. No 82 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 2: one knows where his body is. The two men bickered 83 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 2: over whether the rumors of his resurrection were true or 84 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 2: just a made up sham. The traveler listened to the 85 00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: two men argue. He shook his head and chuckled. Wasn't 86 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 2: it prophesied that the Messiah would suffer these things before 87 00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 2: rising again in glory? 88 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: He asked. 89 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,160 Speaker 2: The two men looked at the traveler, confused and curious. 90 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 2: The traveler then began to recount the entire story of God, 91 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 2: from Adam and Eve to Abraham, from Moses and the 92 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: captives to Joshua and the judges, from David and Goliath 93 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 2: to Solomon and the Temple, from the Babylonian captivity to 94 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 2: the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. The traveler retold 95 00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 2: every story, showing how the Messiah was interviewed in all 96 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 2: of it. The two men listened to the traveler in 97 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 2: complete silence. They listened as he explained prophecy and allegory. 98 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 2: They learned about how the Messiah was foretold since the 99 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 2: beginning of Genesis. Every word spoken from the traveler's mouth 100 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 2: entered into their hearts. As they reached the end of 101 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 2: their journey to Ammaeus, they ate together and spoke more 102 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 2: of Jesus, the prophets, and the story of God. May 103 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 2: I bless the food, the traveler said. The two men nodded, 104 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: and the traveler prayed to God and broke the bread 105 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: in front of the table. As the bread tore in half, 106 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 2: the men's eyes were opened. They saw the traveler for 107 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,839 Speaker 2: who he really was, Jesus, the Risen King, the Shepherd 108 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: of Israel, the one whom the whole story of God 109 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 2: centered around. Then, just as they were about to worship him, 110 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: he vanished. The two men ran into town, screaming and 111 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 2: proclaiming the risen Lord. They shouted into the city streets 112 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 2: that Jesus was alive. He was alive and walking among them. 113 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: Death could not hold the Son of God captive. He 114 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,919 Speaker 2: had over but come death, just as it was foretold 115 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 2: since the beginning of time. The disciples were entrenched in 116 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: their homes with the doors locked, afraid that the High 117 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: Priest would come for them next. So much sorrow, so 118 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 2: much grief, so much loss welled up within them. Their king, 119 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: their teacher, and their friend had died. All hope seemed 120 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 2: lost as they rotted in their home waiting to be taken. 121 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 2: Then a still and quiet voice spoke from the corner 122 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 2: of the room, Peace be with you. The disciples turned 123 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,280 Speaker 2: their heads to see Jesus standing among them. His smile 124 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 2: was radiant, and his presence was refreshing, like a cool 125 00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: spring in a desolate desert. The disciples were frightened at first, 126 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: thinking that they were witnessing a ghost. 127 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: Do not be scared, Jesus said. 128 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 2: Why do your hearts rise with trouble, as if in 129 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: the storm. The disciples grew closer to see Jesus in 130 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,840 Speaker 2: his glory. Look upon my hands and feet, see the 131 00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 2: scars for yourselves. Fell at his feet and worshiped him. 132 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 2: Jesus ate with them and spoke of the fulfillment of prophecy, 133 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: that the Messiah must suffer and rise again for humanity 134 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 2: to be redeemed. Then Jesus embraced them and breathed on them, saying, 135 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: receive the Holy Spirit. The same breath that breathed life 136 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: into mankind in the garden of Eden breathed new life 137 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: into the disciples that day. 138 00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 3: In our Bible reading today, we find two disciples on 139 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: a road outside of Jerusalem. They are headed to a 140 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 3: small town called Amaeis. This wasn't an all day trek, 141 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 3: but it wasn't a short walk either, so there was 142 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 3: plenty of time for a long conversation, and there was 143 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 3: so much to talk about. This was the same day 144 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 3: that Jesus rose from the grave, and though these two 145 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 3: disciples had heard rumors of what the women at the 146 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 3: tomb had said, they still thought Jesus was dead. As 147 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,199 Speaker 3: they walked, they were joined by another traveler, someone they 148 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 3: did not recognize or know, and this one did not 149 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 3: seem to know what had been going on the last 150 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 3: several days with Jesus and the disciples. This man, of course, 151 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 3: was Jesus himself, but they were kept from recognizing him. 152 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 3: Why were they prevented from seeing Jesus for who he was, Well, 153 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 3: we really don't know the answer to this question. But 154 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 3: as the reading continues, we will see that their failure 155 00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 3: to recognize Jesus allowed the Lord to guide them through 156 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: scripture and to help them have a life of faith 157 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 3: based not just on sight but exactly what the Word 158 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 3: of God said from the very beginning. What a privilege 159 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 3: these men had to walk with the Word of God 160 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 3: step by step, and to understand who Jesus is and 161 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 3: why he came. When Jesus asked them what things had 162 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 3: been happening in order to draw them out, they begin 163 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 3: to tell him everything about Jesus of Nazareth, how he'd 164 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 3: healed many people, great authority, and built a large following 165 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 3: of people who believed that he was the promised Messiah. 166 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 3: They told him how the chief priest and rulers had 167 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: handed Jesus over to be crucified, and now their hope 168 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 3: seemed gone gone forever, as it had already been three 169 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:20,000 Speaker 3: days that Jesus was in the tomb. They continued saying 170 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 3: that they had heard about the empty tomb and what 171 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 3: others had seen, but despite what they had heard from 172 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 3: trusted friends, these men were still skeptical. Jesus then spoke up, 173 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,960 Speaker 3: saying in Luke twenty four, verses twenty five to twenty seven, 174 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: old foolish ones and slow of heart to believe all 175 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 3: that the prophets have spoken? Was it not necessary that 176 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 3: the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory? 177 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 3: And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted 178 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 3: to them in all the scriptures, the things concerning himself. 179 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 3: So on that road Jesus gave these men a master 180 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:02,280 Speaker 3: class in biblical interpretation. He was revealing to them that 181 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 3: everything in God's Word had pointed to Jesus, that Jesus 182 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 3: is the focus of the Bible, that our faith and 183 00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:11,480 Speaker 3: trust in him helps us know what the Bible is 184 00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: all about. Despite what they had experienced and seeing Jesus 185 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 3: do before his death, they were still blind to the 186 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 3: truth of God and really blind to who Jesus was 187 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 3: until he walked with them in the Word. Now this 188 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 3: is an important lesson for us today as well. Too 189 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: often we lose hope because we don't see things the 190 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 3: way we want to see them, when in reality, what 191 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 3: we should be doing is increasing our faith by getting 192 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 3: into God's word and hearing what God has said. That's 193 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: why I hope that you have connected with the Bible 194 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,120 Speaker 3: in a year to find out more about what the 195 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,520 Speaker 3: Bible is about and who Jesus is. The Scripture says 196 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:53,000 Speaker 3: in the Book of Romans, faith comes by hearing and 197 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 3: hearing by the word of God. We believe in trust 198 00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 3: in God's word and experience the presence of God. Because 199 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 3: the life of God is in his word, his breath 200 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: has inspired it. If these men had seen Jesus and 201 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 3: recognized him immediately, perhaps they would have missed their opportunity 202 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 3: to learn the word of God and how to put 203 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,719 Speaker 3: their faith and trust in Christ and find the answers 204 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 3: that they were seeking. In most of all, the hope 205 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 3: they so desperately needed. These men must have hung on 206 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: to every word their traveling companion spoke, And when they 207 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: arrived at Amaeus, they urged the Lord to come and 208 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 3: eat with them. And as they dined, Jesus blessed the 209 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 3: meal and he broke the bread, just as he had 210 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 3: done just days before the Passover meal. And that's when 211 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 3: these men's eyes were open and they saw their Savior. 212 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:48,079 Speaker 3: Before they could say or do anything, Jesus disappeared without hesitation. 213 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 3: They immediately made the eight mile trip back to Jerusalem 214 00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,320 Speaker 3: to tell the other disciples that they indeed had seen Jesus, 215 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 3: that Jesus is alive. He then heard how Jesus appeared 216 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 3: to his disciples who had just heard the news from Amaas. 217 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 3: This time, he was immediately recognizable, but they thought he 218 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 3: was there in spirit. So Jesus let them touch him 219 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 3: and see the scars on his hands and his feet, 220 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 3: because they were now in the presence of Christ himself, 221 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 3: not a fatom, not a ghost, not a spirit, but 222 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 3: the body of Jesus. Jesus rose from the grave, victoriously 223 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 3: and bodily. He would not be with them long. But 224 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 3: Jesus had a lot of work to do with these 225 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 3: disciples to prepare them for the mission that he would 226 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 3: give them to take this good news to the world. 227 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 3: We'll hear more about that in our next episode. Let's 228 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 3: pray together. Dear God, we thank you for the resurrection 229 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 3: for the Living Lord, and we, along with those disciples 230 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 3: who walked with him that day on the road to Amaus, 231 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 3: asked that you would revive our hearts, that you would 232 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 3: set us on fire with your word, and that we 233 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 3: could say with these travelers with Jesus, did not our 234 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 3: hearts burn within us when we walk with him in 235 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: the way? Oh God, let our hearts burn with fire 236 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 3: for you in Jesus' name. Amen.
