1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:04,800 Speaker 1: Let us pray, and their eyes were opened and they 2 00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:10,239 Speaker 1: knew him Luke twenty four thirty one. As I am 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: traveling through life, and when I experience moments of sadness 4 00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 1: because it seems like you are not with me any longer, 5 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,439 Speaker 1: I will be reminded of Luke twenty four thirteen to 6 00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: forty five. I will remember that your word declares that 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: you will never leave me or forsake me.

Unlike the disciples who remain fearful from 13 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: the attack of the religious, I will live loud and 14 00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:00,080 Speaker 1: unashamed in front of those who desire to judge me, 15 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 1: because I know who is with me and in me. 16 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,959 Speaker 1: Walk with me. Jesus, Speak to the areas of my 17 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,560 Speaker 1: life that need your calming presence. I am open and available. 18 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:24,640 Speaker 1: I am ready for your revelation in Jesus' name. Amen, 19 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: thank you for praying with me today.

Jesus, 24 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: the Savior of the world, rose from the tomb to 25 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 2: prove that death had no power over him. Death was 26 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 2: tod 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 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: the disciples that he had returned. Now we see Jesus 29 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: revealing himself to two men on the road to Emmaeus. 30 00:02:13,919 --> 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 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us today for the Bible in 33 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: a Year podcast. You are joining millions of people across 34 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 3: the world who are walking with us through the Bible 35 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 3: day by day. God bless you. In our previous episode, 36 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,239 Speaker 3: we heard about the glorious resurrection of Jesus and how 37 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 3: he appeared to the women who went to his tomb 38 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 3: on the third day. With his resurrection, Jesus conquered sin, death, 39 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,359 Speaker 3: and hell once and for all. It was the completion 40 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 3: of God's plan of redemption that began the moment that 41 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 3: He created the world, the moment Adam and Eve fell 42 00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 3: into sin and God's plan of salvation was promised. Today 43 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 3: we'll hear how Jesus appears to two travelers on the 44 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: road to Emmaeas. The men will not recognize Jesus even 45 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: as he explains the whole arc of God's redemptive plan 46 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,080 Speaker 3: for them and the world. But finally, as they break 47 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: bread together, their world would change in a moment, and 48 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: their hearts would burn with fire. Let's listen now to 49 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 3: the reading of the gospel. 50 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: It was late morning and two disciples were walking to 51 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: a village called Emmaeus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. The 52 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 2: two friends spoke in great length about the events of 53 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: the past week, Jesus turning over tables and the temple, 54 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,040 Speaker 2: the trail in from Poontius Pilot, and the brutal slaughter 55 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: of Jesus on the cross. All these things were quite 56 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: disturbing and challenged their views on who the Messiah was. 57 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,080 Speaker 2: They had thought it was Jesus, but his death had 58 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,760 Speaker 2: proven to them otherwise. As they were walking and talking 59 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: with one another, a traveler joined them on the road. 60 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 2: What were you discussing. Just now, the traveler asked. The 61 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: two men paused for a moment, astonished that the traveler 62 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: had not heard the news. Are you new here, sir? 63 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 2: They scoffed. All of Jerusalem is in chaos because of 64 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: what happened this past week. You must have just arrived 65 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: here today if you have not heard about it yet. 66 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 2: Tell me what has happened, the traveler asked, with a smile. 67 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: It's Jesus of Nazareth, still astonished that he did not 68 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,679 Speaker 2: know these things. He was a man who was mighty. 69 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 2: He performed many miracles and spoke with words so powerful 70 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: that they seemed to be from God himself. One of 71 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: the men sighed and scratched his head. But I guess 72 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: he was too good to be true. He was killed 73 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 2: by the Romans, given up by our very own priests 74 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 2: and elders. They crucified him only three days ago. The 75 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: three men walked together, enjoying the fresh air and good conversation. 76 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 2: One of the men wore a sorrowful face as he spoke, saying, 77 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: we hoped he was the one to redeem. It is 78 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 2: the son of David, but he is dead now. The 79 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: other men interjected and said but there were a few 80 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: women who claimed he was removed from the tomb. No 81 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 2: one knows where his body is. The two men bickered 82 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 2: over whether the rumors of his resurrection were true or 83 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 2: just a made up sham. The traveler listened to the 84 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 2: two men argue. He shook his head and chuckled. Wasn't 85 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 2: it prophesied that the Messiah would suffer these things before 86 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 2: rising again in glory? 87 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: He asked. 88 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 2: The two men looked at the traveler, confused and curious. 89 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: The traveler then began to recount the entire story of God, 90 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 2: from Adam and Eve to Abraham, from Moses and the 91 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 2: captives to Joshua and the judges, from David and Goliath 92 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: to Solomon and the Temple, from the Babylonian captivity to 93 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 2: the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem. The traveler retold 94 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: every story, showing how the Messiah was interviewed in all 95 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 2: of it. The two men listened to the traveler in 96 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: complete silence. They listened as he explained prophecy and allegory. 97 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 2: They learned about how the Messiah was foretold since the 98 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 2: beginning of Genesis. Every word spoken from the traveler's mouth 99 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 2: entered into their hearts. As they reached the end of 100 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 2: their journey to Amaeus, they ate together and spoke more 101 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: of Jesus, the prophets, and the story of God. May 102 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: I bless the food, the traveler said. The two men nodded, 103 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 2: and the traveler prayed to God and broke the bread 104 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: in front of the table. As the bread tore in half, 105 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 2: the men's eyes were opened. They saw the traveler for 106 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,799 Speaker 2: who he really was, Jesus, the Risen King, the Shepherd 107 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: of Israel, the one whom the whole story of God 108 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: centered around. Then, just as they were about to worship him, 109 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 2: he vanished. The two men ran into town, screaming and 110 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 2: proclaiming the risen Lord. They shouted into the city streets 111 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: that Jesus was alive. He was alive and walking among them. 112 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: Death could not hold the Son of God captive. He 113 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 2: had over come death, just as it was foretold since 114 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 2: the beginning of time. The disciples were entrenched in their 115 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 2: homes with the doors locked, afraid that the High Priest 116 00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: would come for them next. So much sorrow, so much grief, 117 00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 2: so much loss welled up within them. Their king, their teacher, 118 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,000 Speaker 2: and their friend had died. All hope seemed lost as 119 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 2: they rotted in their home waiting to be taken. Then 120 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 2: a still and quiet voice spoke from the corner of 121 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 2: the room, Peace be with you. The disciples turned their 122 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 2: heads to see Jesus standing among them. His smile was radiant, 123 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 2: and his presence was refreshing, like a cool spring in 124 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 2: a desolate desert. The disciples were frightened at first, thinking 125 00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 2: that they were witnessing a ghost. 126 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 1: Do not be scared, Jesus said. 127 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 2: Why do your hearts rise with trouble, as if in 128 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,400 Speaker 2: the storm. The disciples grew closer to see Jesus in 129 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: his glory. Look upon my hands and feet, see the 130 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 2: scars for yourselves. Fell at his feet and worshiped him. 131 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:05,920 Speaker 2: Jesus ate with them and spoke of the fulfillment of prophecy, 132 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 2: that the Messiah must suffer and rise again for humanity 133 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 2: to be redeemed. Then Jesus embraced them and breathed on them, saying, 134 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 2: receive the Holy Spirit. The same breath that breathed life 135 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 2: into mankind in the garden of Eden breathed new life 136 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: into the disciples that day. 137 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 3: In our Bible reading today, we find two disciples on 138 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 3: a road outside of Jerusalem. They are headed to a 139 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 3: small town called Amaeis. This wasn't an all day trek, 140 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 3: but it wasn't a short walk either, so there was 141 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 3: plenty of time for a long conversation, and there was 142 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: so much to talk about. This was the same day 143 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 3: that Jesus rose from the grave, and though these two 144 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 3: disciples had heard rumors of what the women at the 145 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: tomb had said, they still thought Jesus was dead. As 146 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 3: they walked, they were joined by another traveler, someone they 147 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,440 Speaker 3: did not recognize or know, and this one did not 148 00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 3: seem to know what had been going on the last 149 00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 3: several days with Jesus and the disciples. This man, of course, 150 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 3: was Jesus himself, but they were kept from recognizing him. 151 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,600 Speaker 3: Why were they prevented from seeing Jesus for who he was? Well, 152 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 3: we really don't know the answer to this question. But 153 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 3: as the reading continues, we will see that their failure 154 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 3: to recognize Jesus allowed the Lord to guide them through 155 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 3: scripture and to help them have a life of faith 156 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 3: based not just on sight, but exactly what the Word 157 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 3: of God said from the very beginning. What a privilege 158 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 3: these men had to walk with the Word of God 159 00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 3: step by step, and to understand who Jesus is and 160 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 3: why he came. When Jesus asked them what things had 161 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 3: been happening, in order to draw them out, they begin 162 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 3: to tell him everything about Jesus of Nazareth, how he'd 163 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 3: healed many people, taught with great authority, and built a 164 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 3: large following of people who believed that he was the 165 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 3: promised Messiah. They told him how the chief priest and 166 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 3: rulers had handed Jesus over to be crucified, and now 167 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 3: their hope seemed gone, gone forever, as it had already 168 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 3: been three days that Jesus was in the tomb. They 169 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: continued saying that they had heard about the empty tomb 170 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 3: and what others had seen, but despite what they had 171 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 3: heard from trusted friends, these men were still skeptical. Jesus 172 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 3: then spoke up, saying in Luke twenty four, verses twenty 173 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 3: five to twenty seven, old foolish ones and slow of 174 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken? Was 175 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 3: it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things 176 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 3: and enter into his glory? And, beginning with Moses and 177 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: all the prophets, he interpreted to them. In all the scriptures, 178 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: the things concerning himself. So on that road Jesus gave 179 00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 3: these men a master class in biblical interpretation. He was 180 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 3: revealing to them that everything in God's Word had pointed 181 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 3: to Jesus, that Jesus is the focus of the Bible, 182 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 3: that our faith and trust in him helps us know 183 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,679 Speaker 3: what the Bible is all about. Despite what they had 184 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 3: experienced and seeing Jesus do before his death, they were 185 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 3: still blind to the truth of God and really blind 186 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 3: to who Jesus was until he walked with them in 187 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 3: the Word. Now this is an important lesson for us 188 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 3: today as well. Too often we lose hope because we 189 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 3: don't see things the way we want to see them, 190 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: when in reality, what we should be doing is increasing 191 00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,800 Speaker 3: our faith by getting into God's word and hearing what 192 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 3: God has said. That's why I hope that you have 193 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: connected with the Bible in a year to find out 194 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 3: more about what the Bible is about and who Jesus is. 195 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,839 Speaker 3: The Scripture says in the Book of Romans, faith comes 196 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,559 Speaker 3: by hearing and hearing by the word of God. We 197 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 3: believe in trust in God's word and experience the presence 198 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: of God. Because the life life of God is in 199 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 3: his word, his breath has inspired it. If these men 200 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 3: had seen Jesus and recognized him immediately, perhaps they would 201 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,439 Speaker 3: have missed their opportunity to learn the word of God 202 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: and how to put their faith and trust in Christ 203 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,199 Speaker 3: and find the answers that they were seeking. In most 204 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 3: of all, the hope they so desperately needed. These men 205 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 3: must have hung on to every word their traveling companion spoke, 206 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 3: And when they arrived at Amaeus, they urged the Lord 207 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 3: to come and eat with them. And as they dined, 208 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 3: Jesus blessed the meal and he broke the bread, just 209 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 3: as he had done just days before the Passover meal. 210 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: And that's when these men's eyes were open and they 211 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 3: saw their Savior. Before they could say or do anything, 212 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: Jesus disappeared without hesitation. They immediately made the eight mile 213 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 3: trip back to Jerusalem to tell the other disciples that 214 00:12:54,160 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 3: they indeed had seen Jesus, that Jesus is alive. He 215 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: then heard how Jesus appeared to his disciples who had 216 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 3: just heard the news from Amaas. This time, he was 217 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:10,600 Speaker 3: immediately recognizable, but they thought he was there in spirit. 218 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 3: So Jesus let them touch him and see the scars 219 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 3: on his hands and his feet, because they were now 220 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: in the presence of Christ himself, not a fatom, not 221 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 3: a ghost, not a spirit, but the body of Jesus. 222 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:30,520 Speaker 3: Jesus rose from the grave, victoriously and bodily. He would 223 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 3: not be with them long. But Jesus had a lot 224 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 3: of work to do with these disciples to prepare them 225 00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: for the mission that he would give them to take 226 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:40,959 Speaker 3: this good news to the world. We'll hear more about 227 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 3: that in our next episode. Let's pray together.

Oh God, 235 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 3: let our hearts burn with fire for you in Jesus' name.
