00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:04.879
You're listening to The Bible Guys,
a podcast where a couple of friends talk

2
00:00:04.919 --> 00:00:12.279
about the Bible in fun, in
practical ways. All right, well,

3
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.800
welcome to The Bible Guys. My
name is Chris, this is Jeff,

4
00:00:14.800 --> 00:00:18.760
and we are your hosts for this
excuse me, this podcast, and we

5
00:00:18.839 --> 00:00:23.920
have a great episode today. We're
talking one of my favorite resurrection stories is

6
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:28.679
Jesus when Jesus appears to these two
travelers, these two disciples who don't recognize

7
00:00:28.760 --> 00:00:31.640
him, So I love it.
Rode demis one of my favorite story.

8
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.320
But before we get into that,
it's time for Everybody's favorite segment. We've

9
00:00:36.520 --> 00:00:39.880
missed it the last couple of weeks. Yeah right, well it does.

10
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:44.200
It doesn't happen every Friday, it
should. It sprinkles in every couple of

11
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.960
friends I know. But people love
it. And that is if you're new

12
00:00:46.960 --> 00:00:53.560
to that podcast. Chris has very
strong, passionate opinions about almost everything that

13
00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:59.200
is true. And so that's not
true, and so the question that we

14
00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:03.280
love asking and everybody's favorite segment is
what made Chris mad this week? Yeah,

15
00:01:03.319 --> 00:01:07.760
and so for our listeners, just
so you know, Chris isn't mad

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:10.599
for himself. No, This is
what he wants you to know. He

17
00:01:10.640 --> 00:01:14.680
wants you to know that he's mad
on behalf of all of humanity. Yeah.

18
00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.040
Right, he's vicariously angry for the
rest of us. I honestly don't

19
00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.239
believe that I discovered that about myself
until we were doing this segment, because

20
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.239
what I realized is most of the
time, most of the time, when

21
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:29.439
my family's with me and I get
mad, that's the missing link. It

22
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.239
couldn't possibly be that you're mad about
a thing and you're projecting it for everybody

23
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:36.799
else, assuming they're also mad about
the same thing. Well, it depends

24
00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:41.719
the projection. You're vicarious anger and
couldn't just be projection. I know you're

25
00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:44.680
just doing this to get a rise
out of me, But I'm going to

26
00:01:44.719 --> 00:01:48.120
answer you honestly, which is the
answer to that question? Is I have

27
00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:51.920
to really truly ask myself that hard
question. Yes, And I'm telling you,

28
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.519
my righteous indignation almost immediately goes for
the fact that it's for everybody else.

29
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:01.280
If I have a bad server or
certainly makes it no, no,

30
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:05.280
no, I'm telling you, if
I have a bad restaurant experience, I'm

31
00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:10.639
angry that that server is destroying that
business, and that guy has hired her

32
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.280
and and future people and so if
I don't say anything, you know that

33
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:19.319
kind of thing. So yeah,
so anyway, uh, here is what

34
00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:22.039
I was thinking. What got me
mad this week? So what made you

35
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:25.439
mad this week? So? Actually
it was last week because today is what

36
00:02:25.840 --> 00:02:30.120
is today? Today's Thursday, Thursday, so this would have been last Thursday.

37
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:34.560
Kay, So it's still within a
week, and now you're going to

38
00:02:34.599 --> 00:02:37.960
talk about Yeah, so you and
I had traveled on a missions trip to

39
00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:40.319
the Dominican Republican, that's correct.
We're going there to check out a potential

40
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:46.439
ministry partner, a global partner.
So we were trapped in a because it

41
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.479
was on the Virgin Islands, and
we were trapped in Saint Thomas Airport,

42
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:54.199
that's correct. So we had flown
down to Saint Croix first for some meetings

43
00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.879
with some pastors, yes, and
then we were trying to get to the

44
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.479
Dominican Republic, and we had a
whole bunch of flights. We were going

45
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:04.479
there by way of Saint Thomas.
We flew on a floatplane. Yes,

46
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:08.719
yeah, that was the first time. The water super cool. So anyways,

47
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.240
but we're in Saint Thomas and we
get trapped. Yeah, we get

48
00:03:12.240 --> 00:03:15.159
trapped because our pilot couldn't see the
runway when it was raining, which,

49
00:03:15.199 --> 00:03:17.840
by the way, I found out
is a thing. It is my future

50
00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:22.879
son in laws a pilot. So
he flew around the island a couple times

51
00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.080
and went back to Puerto Rico.
Yes, so I don't want to fly

52
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.159
with a guy who can't see the
runway. Yes, that's one of my

53
00:03:29.240 --> 00:03:31.199
opinions. Yes, yeah, yeah, so even though, by the way,

54
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.479
side note the other airlines had multiple
planes landing in the same time,

55
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:38.840
in that same time. Yes,
anyways, anyways, so that's what made

56
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.599
me mad. But we wound up
having we got stuck at the air and

57
00:03:42.639 --> 00:03:46.680
the indicator should have been the fact
that you chose an airline the number one

58
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:51.599
nobody's ever heard of, not you, but Chad did. And number two.

59
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:53.960
All the other big airlines had these
big, huge desks, yes,

60
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:59.599
right, like American Airlines has this
massive desk, and then you know Delta

61
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:03.599
and yet Brand spirits this huge you
know, go up to the information table

62
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:08.800
and literally our airline, who I'm
not gonna name because that'd be rude,

63
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:14.800
but it's called Silver Airlines. Okay, they wheel out this little desk week

64
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.519
like all I mean, it's it's
not even up to your chest or up

65
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:23.120
to your up to your like like
waistline, right, it's so small.

66
00:04:23.360 --> 00:04:26.639
And then and then the sign was
a piece of cardboard. It was it

67
00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.199
was a piece of cardboard, Like
what kind of yes? And so this

68
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:33.600
is the airline we chose. So
you and I we we determined with Chad,

69
00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.920
no more silver, no right,
so who names your airline? So

70
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:42.759
we're second best, right, we're
going we're shooting for mediocre people, right,

71
00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:46.040
let's get gold. So my complaint
isn't about silver, although that was

72
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:53.199
terrible. It was actually the airport
restaurant. So TSA shuts down at six

73
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:57.959
o'clock. The airport's extremely little.
We're there for probably what four hours,

74
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:00.759
four or five hours, four or
five hours worth, only ones there.

75
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:03.519
It's just us three plus like twelve
other people, the only people on this

76
00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:08.360
flight. Everybody's gone home, right, and there's only one restaurant the whole

77
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:10.560
thing. So we were like,
oh, we have to go and get

78
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:13.240
and by the way, they even
closed early. So we go in there

79
00:05:13.399 --> 00:05:17.920
and we order food and we ordered
people. Listen to this right now,

80
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:23.360
and we're not talking about different Chris
is about to go off. Okay,

81
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:28.160
we're not talking about different monetary payment
here. We're talking about US dollars,

82
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.839
right. And we didn't sit down
and have steak and no, we ordered

83
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:38.160
three white bread tuna fish sandwiches.
They were literally two pieces of white bread

84
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.680
with tuna fish, which, by
the way, who can you get a

85
00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.519
cheaper sandwich than tunafish, especially on
an island in the middle of the ocean,

86
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.879
right right right, tunafish has to
be the cheapest thing you could buy

87
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:53.639
just about with a bag of chips, a normal bag of chips and a

88
00:05:53.639 --> 00:05:56.399
soft drink, that's correct, Okay, that's it. And then I got

89
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.319
a little chocolate. Can you get
a little chocolate? I got a little

90
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.040
Debbie brownie thing? Yeah, little
bread okay. So three tuna fish sandwiches,

91
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:06.879
three bags of chips, three soft
drinks with with with a Debbie Brownie

92
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:12.759
okay. And the total is doesn't
matter what you're thinking, people, it's

93
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.399
going to be higher. It is. It was eighty eight dollars and cents.

94
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:21.439
And that made me so mad because
it is a thing where they got

95
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:25.040
you. Yeah, they know you
can't go anywhere else. Yeah, we

96
00:06:25.040 --> 00:06:28.759
were stuck and that's often the case, right, the theater has you with

97
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.920
with their concessions, right, they're
going to jack up the prices. But

98
00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:34.800
even a theater would would this was
triple the amount of theater would have eighty

99
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:41.480
eight dollars for two or for tuna
fish, sandwiches, chips. Yeah it

100
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.120
was. It was like one of
those little tiny bags was like eighty five

101
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.519
percent air, right right, You
got like eleven chips in the bottom of

102
00:06:46.560 --> 00:06:49.720
the bag. Dude, that meal
and a medium sized coke. That meal

103
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:55.560
cost It should have cost two dollars
a meal, yeah, right, maybe

104
00:06:55.639 --> 00:07:00.360
five dollars retail. Probably even ten
ten dollars a meal would have been more

105
00:07:00.360 --> 00:07:02.800
than fair. Right, ten dollars
a meal is thirty dollars. We paid

106
00:07:02.920 --> 00:07:08.360
eighty eight almost ninety dollars. Yeah
it was. I was so irate.

107
00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:12.759
I wanted to torch the place.
And I didn't remember seeing any signs.

108
00:07:12.920 --> 00:07:15.399
No, I just walked up.
The only thing that they had was sandwiches.

109
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:16.959
So you just grab it this sandwich
right right, and then chips.

110
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:20.319
How much is chips? Right?
Even expensive chips would be like three bugs

111
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:24.399
four bucks right right? And that's
what and then oh yeah, I'll just

112
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:28.360
take one of those little twenty ounce
cokes and yeah, next thing you know,

113
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:30.000
it's eighty eight dollars. Okay,
I'm going to agree with you on

114
00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:32.879
that one. Yeah. And so
here's here's my anger. My retrosting nation

115
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:39.879
goes toward any business that has you. If they got you, you got

116
00:07:39.879 --> 00:07:44.759
to pay their prices. They trapped
you. Here's an idea. Don't take

117
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.560
advantage of that to the point to
where it is grotesque, egregious, right,

118
00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:54.199
right, that was just beyond and
it's just it's gross. Well,

119
00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:57.319
thank you for being angry for us, Chris, Yes, we appreciate it.

120
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:03.040
And keep up the good work,
keep it, keep up a good

121
00:08:03.079 --> 00:08:05.560
word. Okay. So at the
Roland, I mentioned that this, by

122
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.759
the way, I didn't want to
torch the place. I wasn't that I

123
00:08:07.839 --> 00:08:11.040
was going to say, don't say
that this TSA is never gonna let you

124
00:08:11.079 --> 00:08:13.680
fly again. No, that's right, that's right. They've got you know,

125
00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:16.839
and you know, you have a
very distinctive voice, is going to

126
00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:18.879
be able to prove it wasn't you. That's true. Okay. So I

127
00:08:18.920 --> 00:08:22.439
mentioned it the Roland that this is
one of my favorite stories. I love

128
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:26.920
this. It's the two Disciples on
the way to Immeas, and it says

129
00:08:26.920 --> 00:08:31.800
this in Mark chapter sixteen. Afterward, he appeared in a different form to

130
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.360
two of his followers who were walking
from Jerusalem into the country. They rushed

131
00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:39.480
back to tell the others, but
no one believed them. That same day,

132
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:43.519
two of Jesus at Luke chapter twenty
four says the same story only goes

133
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:46.679
further. It says that same day, two of jesus followers were walking to

134
00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:50.679
the village of Emaas, seven miles
from Jerusalem. As they walked along,

135
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.879
they were talking about everything that had
happened. As they talked and discussed these

136
00:08:54.879 --> 00:08:58.320
things, Jesus himself suddenly came and
began walking with them, but God kept

137
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.679
them from wreckingizing him. He asked
them, what are you discussing so intently

138
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.360
as you walk along? And they
stopped short, sadness written across their faces.

139
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.759
Then one of them, Cleopus,
replied, you must be the only

140
00:09:09.799 --> 00:09:11.919
person in Jerusalem who hasn't heard about
all the things that have happened there the

141
00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:16.399
last few days. What things Jesus
asked, The things that happened to us.

142
00:09:16.480 --> 00:09:20.960
To Jesus, the man from Nazareth, they said he was a prophet

143
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.000
who did powerful miracles, and he
was a mighty teacher in the eyes of

144
00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:28.679
God and all the people. But
our leading priests and other religious leaders handed

145
00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.080
him over to be condemned to death, and they crucified it. We had

146
00:09:31.120 --> 00:09:35.519
hoped he was the Messiah who had
come to rescue Israel. This all happened

147
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:39.240
three days ago. Then some women
from our group of his followers were at

148
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.120
his tomb early this morning, and
this is Luke. You shifted into Luke.

149
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:46.279
I am in Luke. Thank you? Oh my bad? Yeah,

150
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.200
no, no, no worries.
Do I know what made Jeff mad this

151
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:56.600
week? Yeah, Chris interrupted you. Then some they said. Then some

152
00:09:56.679 --> 00:10:00.600
women from our group of his followers
were at his tomb early this morning,

153
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.639
and they came back with an amazing
report. They said his body was missing,

154
00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:07.320
and they'd seen angels who told them
Jesus is alive. Some of our

155
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:09.840
men ran out to sea, and
sure enough, his body was gone,

156
00:10:09.960 --> 00:10:13.679
just as women had said. Then
Jesus said to them, you foolish people.

157
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:16.919
You find it so hard to believe
all that the prophets wrote in the

158
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.559
scriptures. Wasn't it clearly predicted that
the Messiah would have to suffer all these

159
00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.080
things before entering his glory. Then
Jesus took them through the writings of Moses

160
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:30.360
and all the prophets, explaining from
all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

161
00:10:30.919 --> 00:10:35.279
By this time they were nearing Emaeus
and the end of their journey. Jesus

162
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:37.399
acted as if he were going on, but they begged him stay the night

163
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:41.159
with us, since it's getting late. So he went home with them,

164
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.960
and as they sat down to eat, he took the bread and blessed it.

165
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.279
Then he broke it and gave it
to them, and suddenly their eyes

166
00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:50.080
were opened and they recognized him.
And at that moment he disappeared, and

167
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:54.320
they said to each other, didn't
our hearts burn within us? As he

168
00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:58.000
talked with us on the road and
explained the scriptures to us, And within

169
00:10:58.039 --> 00:11:01.039
the hour they were on their way
back to Jerusalem. There they found the

170
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.240
eleven Disciples and the others who had
gathered with them, who said, the

171
00:11:03.279 --> 00:11:07.759
Lord has really risen. He appeared
to Peter. Then the two from I

172
00:11:07.840 --> 00:11:11.840
May Has told their story of how
Jesus had appeared to them as they were

173
00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:15.440
walking along the road, and how
they had recognized him as he was breaking

174
00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:20.440
the bread. I love that story. It's so good. It says they

175
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:28.960
appeared to Peter and then there's an
astris there. What is the astisk marks?

176
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:31.039
What is it? Luke? Yeah, So it's just it's just it's

177
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:37.679
just explained as they reclined. Yeah, yeah, so or Simon, look

178
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:39.960
twenty four to thirty four, it's
to Peter. But the word they're in

179
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:46.200
the Greek was Simon, the same
same guy, gotcha. So this is

180
00:11:46.240 --> 00:11:48.360
an amazing story. And I think
the best part about it for me,

181
00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:52.559
well, well, obviously the best
part about it is he's risen, but

182
00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.360
the but the best part about the
dialogue is even it even says that Jesus

183
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:01.080
acted as if he was going to
go on. Yeah, but then but

184
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.279
then they said, please stay with
us, so he did. In other

185
00:12:03.320 --> 00:12:05.679
words, the scripture is telling us
that Jesus had no intention to go on.

186
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:11.799
So there's a ruse that Jesus is. He's he's obviously clearly hiding his

187
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:15.639
identity, right, So so he
he made it to where their eyes were

188
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.320
opened when he broke the bread.
So that means the entire time he was

189
00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:22.639
knowing that he was pretending, he
was acting. So tell me what what

190
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.159
what about this Jesus go on,
right, and then he pretends to be

191
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:30.960
this educator of the scriptures. Uh, you know, just just trying to

192
00:12:30.960 --> 00:12:33.559
be somebody who would have been like
a supporter or a follower believer of Jesus.

193
00:12:33.840 --> 00:12:35.799
And then all of a sudden he
opens his eyes, he opens their

194
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:43.600
eyes and so anyway, it's just
there's there's a clear intentional deception, harmless

195
00:12:43.600 --> 00:12:48.200
deception of Jesus. Uh having fun. I guess, Yeah, I don't

196
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:52.000
think he's deceiving them. I think
that he's leading them on a journey of

197
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:54.320
discovery. Yeah, right, that
that that that's what he's doing there,

198
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:56.919
I think. But yeah, well
deception, not in the negative way,

199
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.919
but just and it's it's still ignored
of who he was. They didn't recognize

200
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:05.440
him, and he didn't. He
didn't expose who he was. Yeah,

201
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.720
but the I love the phrase,
didn't our hearts burn within us as he

202
00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:13.440
talked with us on the road and
explained the scriptures to us? Because the

203
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.960
Bible says that Jesus he's walking What
do you guys a grieving didn't you hear?

204
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.320
How in the world have you benagerus? Someone not here? Although when

205
00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:22.559
I happened, right, because are
you serious, dude? Right, you're

206
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:26.279
the only guy? Are you the
only person who has no idea? And

207
00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:30.000
then they're giving him new news And
today some of our women said they went

208
00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:33.600
to the tomb he's gone, right, So that's stuff that this guy wouldn't

209
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.720
have known. Some stranger they're walking
down the street wouldn't know that the insiders

210
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.600
all knew Jesus was gone. So
this is really neat because this is not

211
00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:45.960
one of the eleven, right,
These two aren't aren't ones of the eleven,

212
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:48.320
which means Jesus had other disciples.
He had other followers, right,

213
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:52.679
and we know that that there were
a lot of people who truly followed this

214
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:58.360
Cleopus may have been the husband of
one of the Mary's, remember when when

215
00:13:58.360 --> 00:14:01.840
it talks about that. We're not
sure, but it could have been.

216
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:07.559
There's all kinds of questions as to
who these guys were. But the reality

217
00:14:07.720 --> 00:14:11.120
was Jesus had other followers that weren't
one of the you know, the twelve

218
00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.799
disciples. And that's a really cool
thing that, you know, you don't

219
00:14:13.799 --> 00:14:18.039
have to be one of the insiders
for Jesus to want to come and spend

220
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:20.360
time with you too. Write.
So he comes and he's with them,

221
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.840
and he begins to unpack it.
But the Bible says, and this is

222
00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:31.240
the part I love it says that
he says. He says, wasn't it

223
00:14:31.240 --> 00:14:35.200
clearly predicted that the Messiah would have
to suffer all these things before eny of

224
00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:37.600
his glory? And then Jesus took
them through the writings of Moses and all

225
00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:43.080
the prophets, explaining from all the
scriptures the things concerning himself. So it

226
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.600
begins to unpack that Jesus was all
throughout the Bible. The whole theme of

227
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:48.200
the Bible is that, right,
have you ever heard anybody go through the

228
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.960
list of Jesus in every book of
the Bible? No? What do you

229
00:14:52.000 --> 00:14:54.879
mean? No, So let me
do this for you. In Genesis,

230
00:14:54.960 --> 00:14:58.200
Jesus is the word of God.
He's creating the heaven. Right, He's

231
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:01.720
the promised seed of the woman.
Actually say. In Exodus, Jesus is

232
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:05.480
the passover lamb. In Leviticus,
Jesus is the high priest and the representative

233
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.559
of the tabernacle. He's the lampstand, he's the showbread, he's the sacrifice

234
00:15:09.600 --> 00:15:13.120
on the altar. In Numbers,
Jesus is the pillar of cloud by day,

235
00:15:13.360 --> 00:15:16.960
the pillar of fire by night,
the smitten rock that gives living water.

236
00:15:16.000 --> 00:15:20.039
In Deuteronomy, Jesus is the prophet
that's greater than Moses. In Joshua,

237
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:22.960

into the promised Land. In Judges, Jesus is the true and final judge.

Jesus is the redeeming rebuilder of the
walls and Esther Jesus is the sovereign protector

245
00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:54.240

246
00:15:54.639 --> 00:15:58.960

shepherd who hears our Christ. In

251
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.480
wounded for our transgression and bruce for
our iniquities. And Jeremiah Jesus is the

252

00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:41.799

all the lands and the prophet cast

260
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:53.720

263
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:07.119
fields are empty. And zephy Andiah
Jesus is the preserver and restore of his

264
00:17:07.200 --> 00:17:11.880
remnant and kingdom. Hagi Jesus is
the desire of all the nations. Zachariah

265
00:17:11.000 --> 00:17:15.079
Jesus is the cleansing fountain and the
pierced son whom every eye on earth will

266
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:19.240
one day behold. And a Malachi
Jesus is the son of Righteousness, rising

267
00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:22.799
with healing in his wings, and
he's the refiner's fire. Those are the

268
00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:25.640
ones. Now you can go on. We can go on, Matthew through

269
00:17:25.680 --> 00:17:30.039
revelation too, But those are the
He went through through Moses and all the

270
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:33.720
prophets, and he declared all of
the scriptures about him to these guys,

271
00:17:34.000 --> 00:17:37.839
And then they said, didn't our
hearts just burn within us when he was

272
00:17:37.880 --> 00:17:40.720
talking. So when you were reading
that, I realized I didn't know what

273
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:41.880
you meant when you said it.
Soon as you start reading it, I

274
00:17:41.920 --> 00:17:45.519
got it. Yeah, So me
and my really good friend read we did

275
00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.079
a duet in my first church that
was a part of and this is one

276
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:53.720
of the songs that we sang.
Sure and it's almost like verbatim, sure

277
00:17:53.880 --> 00:17:59.279
that and so you say in Genesis, he's the bum the ex hear that

278
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:00.920
song. Okay, So we went
through the whole thing, right, and

279
00:18:02.000 --> 00:18:03.519
it's a pretty long song. I
think it's like a five minute song,

280
00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:07.079
right, and so you know,
and people follow along and as long as

281
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.160
like, you know that that was
long even to read for you, right,

282
00:18:11.440 --> 00:18:12.960
So imagine stretching out to a song
when you sing it. And so

283
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:18.440
we finally got to zech Raiah and
Malachi and then and then we went into

284
00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:21.880
this big chorus, you know,
this big you know, sort of bridge

285
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:26.160
kind of thing, right, and
then and then we said in Matthew and

286
00:18:26.200 --> 00:18:30.519
we started going Matthew and you could
just see the whole audience going, oh

287
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.640
yeah, like like there's twenty six
more. Yeah, yeah, you know,

288
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:36.519
because if such a long song,
you know, and I've had people

289
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:38.000
tell me that they're like, we
thought you were done after that's relic.

290
00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:41.920
So Jesus is the central figure of
the entire Bible. Every book of the

291
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.839
Bible you can find Jesus in,
right. And so that's the idea here,

292
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:49.200
is that he went through the entire
scriptures, all of the scriptures that

293
00:18:49.240 --> 00:18:52.720
spoke of him, he says,
and they said, our hearts just burned

294
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.720
within us. And so a lot
of times people view the Old Testament New

295
00:18:56.759 --> 00:19:00.160
Testament as separate books. They don't
really know how the Old Testament connects the

296
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:03.319
New Testament. But Jesus recognized that
the Old Testament pointed to him. That's

297
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:07.839
the only Bible they had when these
two men walking down the road to Mais.

298
00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.200
They didn't have the Gospels, they
didn't have all of Paul's writings in

299
00:19:11.279 --> 00:19:15.880
Peter James and John's writings right,
and Jud's writings. They only had the

300
00:19:15.000 --> 00:19:19.480
Old Testament we would view as the
Old Testament. And Jesus was clearly articulated

301
00:19:19.880 --> 00:19:23.799
through every book in the Old Testament
as well. And so you know,

302
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:26.759
there's value, great value in digging
into the Old Testament. In fact,

303
00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:30.880
when we're done with these two hundred
and fifty events in the life of Jesus,

304
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:32.359
you and I are going to go
back and we're going to take the

305
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:36.880
highlights, like one hundred and eighty
highlights in the Old Testament, tying it

306
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:38.559
all back to we're going to tell
the main stories, but it all ties

307
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.920
back to Jesus, and so we're
gon we're gonna talk about that. But

308
00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:45.319
that's exactly what Jesus did with these
guys on the Road to immaeis Yeah,

309
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.359
and I love it. It's going
to be great, and it's going to

310
00:19:48.400 --> 00:19:52.200
take the Bible guys all the way
through to the end of twenty twenty four,

311
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:55.440
that's correct. Yeah, it's gonna
be really cool. Yeah, so

312
00:19:55.480 --> 00:19:57.799
we're kind of picking up with this
story. Yeah, we're going to do

313
00:19:57.839 --> 00:20:00.559
the same thing. We're just going
to take the big ideas of the Old

314
00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:04.079
Testament one hundred and eighty of the
key passages and all of it points to

315
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:07.079
Jesus. Yeah, we're gonna try
to connect the outs yep, yep,

316
00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:11.720
which is really really fun. So
so one more thing, and that is

317
00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:15.200
it says that when he broke the
bread, their eyes were opened and then

318
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.039
he disappeared and so and so my
movie, my movie self has him like

319
00:20:21.119 --> 00:20:25.680
breaking the bread. You know,
remember remember remember the monkey who breaks the

320
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:29.640
fruit above Mufass's or you know,
above Simba's head. Right, and he

321
00:20:29.680 --> 00:20:32.680
reaches up, he breaks the little
and the juice comes out right right.

322
00:20:33.640 --> 00:20:36.720
Obviously Jesus probably didn't do that,
but I'm picturing like I'm holding up the

323
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:41.200
bread and going and then breaking it
and doing a magician and then he's gone,

324
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:45.599
right. Yeah, I doubt that. I doubt I doubt all of

325
00:20:45.599 --> 00:20:47.720
that. But that's the way I
see it in my head, right.

326
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:51.920
But the bottom line is just so
weird he disappears. Well, you want

327
00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:53.839
to hear how weird I was.
You know, here's how weird I am.

328
00:20:53.920 --> 00:20:56.960
You said a minute ago, You're
like, hey, these guys,

329
00:20:56.960 --> 00:21:00.599
weren't these guys weren't Dane dongs?
Right? And it's me like thirty seconds

330
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:07.119
to stop singing ding dong the witch
is dead or hearing songs in my brain

331
00:21:07.319 --> 00:21:10.319
it said ding dong, And I
was like, I was like, why

332
00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:14.039
do you have to say ding dong? I'm sorry, I have adhd so

333
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:18.400
anyway, squirrel, But the fact
that he the fact that he broke the

334
00:21:18.440 --> 00:21:22.319
bread and then their eyes were open
and then he disappeared. Okay, So

335
00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:26.680
obviously I'm having fun with the dramatic
piece of the movie piece. But my

336
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:32.880
point of that whole moment is the
fact that Jesus knew. That was the

337
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:36.920
moment that they got it, Like
Jesus knew, and he disappeared, and

338
00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:38.279
then he had other work, He
had other work to do, right,

339
00:21:38.559 --> 00:21:41.559
But yet he spent so much time
all the way till evening. Yes,

340
00:21:41.680 --> 00:21:45.480
he spent time with them. And
so again this is just another example.

341
00:21:45.599 --> 00:21:49.920
Just as he appeared to Mary in
the garden where he wanted to walk them

342
00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:55.279
through, and he cared about their
doubts and their concerns, and he wanted

343
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:56.680
to walk them through, and he
wanted to say, let me take the

344
00:21:56.720 --> 00:22:00.079
time to connect all the dots for
you. You. And it says he

345
00:22:00.359 --> 00:22:03.480
talked all the way on the road
to mais right right, so and so,

346
00:22:03.519 --> 00:22:07.200
and it wasn't It wasn't thousands of
people. Yeah, so there's two

347
00:22:07.240 --> 00:22:10.839
people. So this springs up another
thing. By the way, they had

348
00:22:10.880 --> 00:22:15.839
this incredible encounter with Jesus, and
so does every believer. And then a

349
00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.319
lot of times we just feel like
if Jesus could just stay and teach us,

350
00:22:18.359 --> 00:22:21.720
if Jesus could just come and stay. Jesus left them as soon as

351
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:25.279
they understood he moved on. But
what did he leave with them? The

352
00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:29.359
message to tell others the scriptures what
he just taught them. Sure did not

353
00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:33.119
our hearts burn within us when he
explained to us the scriptures. He left

354
00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:36.319
them with his word. And then
he went on, and so you don't

355
00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:41.079
need you have currently, You don't
have to have a mountaintop experience all day

356
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:44.440
every day when you're walking with Jesus
to really have the power God. He

357
00:22:44.519 --> 00:22:47.359
left you with the Holy Spirit.
We're going to read about that right coming

358
00:22:47.440 --> 00:22:49.880
up. And he's left you with
his word. You have everything you need

359
00:22:49.920 --> 00:22:53.200
to do to keep moving forward.
And so what they do they run back

360
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.559
and they tell everybody else what just
happened. And it's the same. So

361
00:22:56.599 --> 00:23:02.079
it's not always mountaintop experiences and not
all always these intimate walks with Jesus.

362
00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:04.240
It's also the fact that he left
us with his word, and that's enough.

363
00:23:04.440 --> 00:23:07.000
Spend time in his word and you've
got everything you need. That's great.

364
00:23:07.039 --> 00:23:10.920
Yeah, well that is a great
place to end. And so we

365
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.880
will pick it up on Monday,
hopefully you'll join us, and we'll see

366
00:23:12.920 --> 00:23:14.839
that on the Bible. Guys,
