Open Our Eyes the Road to Emmaus Spilman Memorial Baptist Church, Kinston, NC Dr Open Our Eyes The Road to Emmaus Spilman Memorial Baptist Church, Kinston, NC Dr. H. Powell Dew, Jr. April 26, 2020 Text: Luke 24:13-27, (read half way through sermon) vs. 28-35 Purpose: We need the Lord to open our eyes to the truth of who Jesus Christ really is. He is the Son of God, come to fulfill all of the Old Testament prophecies. We are to live a Christ Centered life, based upon the Word of God – the Bible. This God focused life should propel us to an outward ministry focus – bringing the unbelieving world to the true knowledge of Jesus Christ. Over the past few weeks, we have been examining the life of Jesus Christ, what He taught, who He healed, His triumphal entry into Jerusalem, His crucifixion, and His resurrection. Last week we examined Jesus’ encounter with Peter by the Sea of Galilee. I have been pondering what I was going to share with you now that the full story of God’s plan of salvation has been communicated with you. I have shared with you that Jesus is the Son of God. That He died just as the scriptures foretold. He rose from the dead, just as He said He would. I believe I have faithfully communicated the gospel story to you. But I suspect there are some reading this sermon that, even though you have heard the story, you still have not really opened your eyes to the reality of who Jesus really is. Yes you know the story of Jesus, but you do not know the Jesus of the story. If you have ever worked with someone trying to help them with their math problems, or help a student understand a difficult concept in other classes, you sometimes try and try to get them to understand what you are teaching them or showing them. If you are a persistent teacher or tutor, you don’t give up, you keep telling them the same thing in various ways. It may take days or sometime weeks – then suddenly, the “light bulb” comes on. You know they finally get it. I believe that is the moment most teachers long to see happen in their students – that moment when their students finally get it. Jesus had been with His Disciples for 3 years – teaching, talking, modeling, demonstrating in every way imaginable, to help them get their “light bulb” turned on. Yet they still didn’t get it. The disciples saw the many miracles – water to wine, sight returned to a man born blind from birth, opening the ears of deaf individuals, healing numerous people of leprosy, casting out demons, preaching the gospel to the poor, and even raising the dead – they still didn’t get it. So many had a preconceived idea as to what the Messiah would say, what He would do, how He would act, the type of Kingdom He would usher in – and Jesus didn’t match their expectations. Many people rejected Jesus because He was not what they wanted in a Messiah. Even after the disciples saw the empty tomb, they STILL did not understand. Their eyes were still shielded. After the resurrection of Jesus, there were numerous encounters with various people. • Jesus met Mary Magdalene there at the garden Tomb that Resurrection morning. (John 20:14-18) • Jesus met the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus. (Luke 24:13-35) • He met with the 10 disciples seven days after the resurrection. (John 20:19-23) • He met with them again, this time including doubting Thomas. (John 20:24-29) • He met with Peter and six other disciples on the shore of the Sea of Galilee. (John 21:1-20) • He met with James, the brother of Jesus. (I Cor. 15:12) • He even met with over 500 in a public gathering. (I Cor. 15:12) • For 40 days Jesus presented Himself to testify to the truth of His resurrection. • Then after 40 days, Jesus ascended back into heaven. The scripture we read earlier this morning is only found in the Gospel of Luke. Two verses mentioned it in Mark 16:12-13. It is known as the Road to Emmaus passage. I have read this passage over and over throughout my life. There is an attraction to me in this passage for several reasons. Here are two disciples that don’t know what to do next. They have followed Jesus, kept up with His activities, followed His teaching, and yet here they are heading in the wrong direction – away from Jerusalem. As I have pondered this passage over the years, it has occurred to me that maybe Christ himself has provided future followers a model for us follow as we try to minister to the blind unseeing world. After all, Jesus has given us other models which we are to follow. Jesus Christ gave us the model prayer that is recorded in Matthew chapter five. “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:9-13 KJV). Jesus gave us a model of sacrifice. He gave us a pattern for sacrifice when He said, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13 KJV) As He laid down his life for us, we too should be willing to lay down our lives to reach the world for Christ. Jesus gave us a model of salvation. The true “nugget of gold” concerning the way of salvation was revealed when Christ said: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) Because we have been given the truth about salvation, we must be willing to share this good news with others. “How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14 KJV) Jesus gave us a model of love and has instructed us in the way of agape love. “That he who loveth God love his brother also.” (I John 4:21 KJV) How truly difficult this can be at times! Yet we are commanded to love. Many Christians today are emulating these models in their prayer life, their daily sacrifice for others, extending and offering salvation in Jesus Christ as well as expressing love to a world that desperately needs this. This morning I want to put forth a paradigm – a way of living – a pattern for a Christian walk – that I discovered at Campbell University Divinity School. It represents how we as Christians should orientate our lives. It is centered on the motto: Christ Centered, Bible Based, and Ministry Focused. If you have had your eyes opened and understand and place your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, then as a follower of Jesus Christ – there should be an overarching theme in your life. It should permeate all that you do in life. It is the Spirit of Christ abiding in you, leading you, guiding you, directing you. Campbell chose the overarching purpose of the school to be Christ Centered, Bible Based, and Ministry Focused, because they saw that as the overarching theme of all believers that genuinely seek to live out their life to the Glory of God. In the passage of scripture we read this morning about the two traveling to Emmaus, we see this paradigm of living enacted in a unique and special way. We find the interaction between Jesus and these two disciples as Christ Centered, Bible Based, and Ministry Focused. Christ Centered The verses found in Luke 24:25-26 draw us to the first point of being Christ- centered. “Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his Glory?” There is the tendency to talk with others about everything except Jesus Christ. We will talk about the weather. We will talk about the latest sports event. We will talk about the great social issues of the day, such as drinking and driving, abortion, church politics, moderates, conservatives, or prayer in schools. We can get sidelined with the war in the middle east, the latest scandal in Washington DC, or how high taxes are. Our latest distraction is the coronavirus. It is the daily topic of every news program and on every person’s mind. Each of these topics has taken a front place forum in our churches and lives at one time or another. If we look carefully, we can see how quickly Jesus Christ came back to the main point there on the road to Emmaus. The central issue to be resolved is, “Who is this person called the Christ?” Jesus even went so far as to call these two men “fools." Jesus verbally slapped them “upside their head” with the main point. Jesus Christ came to do the will of the Father. The central goal of Jesus was to validate all that the prophets spoke of in the “law and the prophets.” Prophecy foretold where Jesus would be born, where He would live, how His ministry would affect His community, how He would be rejected, and how He would die.

In Focus Have you ever heard the old English idiom about the person who can’t see the forest for the trees? This proverb generally describes a person who gets so caught up in the details of a situation or life itself that he or she fails to see the complete picture. Details serve as distractions that cause us to focus our attention on the smaller, less important things in life rather than living life to its fullest. This idiom can also apply to our relationship with God. It is so easy to get caught up in the daily burdens and blessings of life that we forget about the Life Giver. We fail to consult God about our daily decisions or even spend time with Him on a daily basis. Then, even though we faithfully attend church, our worship can become hollow. We lift our voices and sing songs without meaning, we say “Amen” to teachings we have no intention of honoring, and we fulfill our religious regulations without any thought to our righteous relationship. Today’s lesson focuses on the nation of Judea during a time when the nation’s prosperity and the people’s pleasures caused them to forget about God and serves as a reminder that God is always to be worshiped in spirit and in truth.

  • The Eschatological Blessing (Hk'r"B.) of the Spirit in Isaiah: with Special Reference to Isaiah 44:1-5
    DOI: https://doi.org/10.28977/jbtr.2016.10.39.307 The Eschatological Blessing (hk'r"B.) of the Spirit in Isaiah / YunGab Choi 307 The Eschatological Blessing (hk'r"B.) of the Spirit in Isaiah: with Special Reference to Isaiah 44:1-5 YunGab Choi* 1. Introduction The primary purpose of this paper is to explicate the identity of the “eschatological1) blessing (hk'r"B.) of the Spirit”2) in Isaiah 44:3. The Hebrew term — hk'r"B. — and its derivative form appear ten times (19:24, 25; 36:16; 44:3; *Ph. D in Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. Assistant Professor of Old Testament at Kosin University. [email protected]. 1) The English term “eschatology” comes from Greek word eschatos (“last”). Accordingly in a broad sense, “[e]schatology is generally held to be the doctrine of ‘the last things’, or of ‘the end of all things.’” (Jürgen Moltmann, The Coming of God: Christian Eschatology [Minneapolis: Fortress Press,1996], 1). In a similar vein, Willem A. VanGemeren defines eschatology as “biblical teaching which gives humans a perspective on their age and a framework for living in hope of a new age” (Willem A. VanGemeren, Interpreting the Prophetic Word: An Introduction to the Prophetic Literature of the Old Testament [Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1990], 88). G. B. Caird defines eschatology as “the study of, or the corpus of beliefs held about, the destiny of man and of the world” (G. B. Caird, The Language and Imagery of the Bible [Grand Rapids: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 1980], 243).

  • Devotion For: December 16, 2016 Reading: Isaiah 32:1-20 Focus
    Devotion for: December 16, 2016 Reading: Isaiah 32:1-20 Focus Verses: Isaiah 32:1-5 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice. Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a shelter from the storm, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a great rock in a weary land. Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will give attention. The heart of the hasty will understand and know, and the tongue of the stammerers will hasten to speak distinctly. The fool will no more be called noble, nor the scoundrel said to be honorable. Devotion: This is one of those difficult readings that is hard for us to fully read and understand the first time that we take a look at it. Chapters 32 and 33 speak specifically about what would happen to the kingdom of Assyria. However, as we look at the readings, we may wonder what will happen to God’s people in all of this desolation and destruction that is being foretold. As we see in the opening verses, Isaiah looks into the future by the power of the Holy Spirit and foretells of the people of God who dwell in a very different Israel than the one that was around during his life. He foretells the coming of the Messiah. As you read these verses, you might wonder to yourself if this is really talking about Jesus or if it is talking about some earthly king.
