Welcome to another message from the Gospel of Luke. We're almost finished. We have this class and one more. We will have done 100 classes and great reading and research from the Gospel of Luke. I hope that you have enjoyed them as much as I have. In 24 and verse 13, we have proofs of the resurrection. Proofs of the resurrection. Proofs, plural. Now, the disciples didn't believe that he was raised from the dead. Even though I had preached that to them indelibly, they didn't believe it because they didn't think it was possible. Jesus had raised people from the dead. Why didn't they think he could raise himself or the father or the eternal spirit raise him from the dead? By the way, the Bible says that Jesus said, I'll destroy this temple in three days, I'll raise it up. The Jews believed it because they tried to seal his tomb to where he couldn't raise. That's not possible though with an eternal God in heaven. How can an immortal die? How could an immortal person, Jesus Christ, die? He gave his life up on the cross. He dismissed his spirit. And he died for you and for me. 24 in verse 13. Ka edu deo, ex auton in aute, te hemera eison pro ruo menoe, eis komen apecuson sta deos. Ex e conta apo erusalem, he onoma emeas. You behold now two out of them in the same day. They were journeying They kept on journeying on to a village or the village being distance being away from furlongs 60 from Jerusalem. This is about a Furlong is 600 feet. So this is about 36,000 feet. And you can divide that by 5,280, and it's about 6.82 miles that they walked that day from Jerusalem, to which a name was Emmaus. This is near Ramallah, where Samuel was buried, northwest of Jerusalem. The Hebrew name Emmaus means hot spring, hot spring. We have a lot of hot springs around this country up here. 34 or 24 or 14, Kai al-toi, ho-mi-lun, tros al-eilus, peri-pom-ton-ton, sim-be-be-ko-ton, two-ton. And they, and the ones, they kept on talking to one another concerning all the things having occurred, these things having occurred. Simbaino, the things having occurred. In the perfect tense, by the way. 2415, Kai agenito ento homilin, autos kai sizeitin, kai utos esus agisos, sina poru eto autos. And it came to pass, in the, to walk, during the walk of them, to discuss, to keep on zealously discussing, and he, Jesus, having drawn near, he kept on journeying with them. Jesus goes near them and they don't recognize him. Now some people say that Jesus carries the scars of the cross. Maybe after the crucifixion, he didn't look like he did before. The scars were there. I've got scars all over my body, and they're here. I guess when the Lord resurrects me, I will not have those scars. A horse kicked me here. I busted my mouth on a steering wheel here. My ear was cut in two by a horse biting me. My body is scarred all over from teeth prints and hook marks of horses and drilling rigs. and wild animals, bitten and chewed and scratched all over the place, crippled up. Jesus, when he was raised from the dead, he has the marks. These are like medals, Congressional Medal of Honor, what they call Purple Hearts. All of this, these scars of Jesus are like that. They're emblems of what he did for us. When we look at Jesus in eternity, we'll see what he did for us, see what he went through for us. The God of heaven that so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever would believe in him might have eternal life and not perish. Hode atholmoy atholm, ekra tutol, or ee-tah-too-toe, too-may-eh-pee-no-ay-ah-toe. But the one's eyes of them, they kept on being held shut out of the things not to recognize him. Their eyes were shut so they could not recognize him. Ae-pan-day-prose-ah-toes-tee-nays-hoy-la-goy, hoo-toy-oose-ah-tay-ba-lay-tay, pros alolos peri patuntoi tes, kai este theison, skei thropoi. And he said toward them, what the words these, which is you are exchanging, throwing back and forth, literally, anto balete, you're throwing back and forth like a ball, like a tennis ball or whatever, ping pong. You're throwing these words back and forth to one another. Walking about. And they stood sad faces. Sad faces. They stood with sad faces. 2418. Apokrytheis de heis onomatopoeia. Cleopas. Epantros autons. Simonos. parokes rusalem kai uk egnus ta genomina en aute ente semeteros taute. And having answered one by the name of Cleophas, he said to them, or to him, that is, you alone a stranger in Jerusalem, and you do not know the things having occurred in her, the city during the days these, Are you alone? The only one that doesn't know what's happened? He was the one that happened, they happened too. 2419, the humor of Jesus. Mark 1, 24 and Matthew 21, 11, a cross reference is this. Kai epein atois poia. Poidei pon auto ta merperi. Aesu to Nazareneu, Hoth again to Aner, Prophetes, Denatos and Aragon, Kylogo, Enotion, Thuthio, Kypontos to Laos. And he said to them, what things? What a sense of humor, by the way. He wanted to hear them say this. and the ones they said to him concerning the things of Jesus of Nazareth who he became a man of prophets, powerful prophets in works and in word and deeds down in the presence of God and all the people. Down in the presence of God and all the people. Verse number 20. How both they handed over him, the chief priest and the rulers of us, unto judgment of death, a capital crime, and they crucified him. They crucified him. you don't walk away from the crucifixion, you're dead. 21, 24, 21a. Himes de el pizoman, jote esten ho melon, li truse ton Israel, ala ge kai pasen, tutoes triton talten, hemeron age, af hu tauta egeneto. But we kept on hoping that he is the one about to redeem the Israel, but indeed also all these sayings that he said the third day this is, from which these sayings have become. 22, Ola kai geneke sinex ex teson, hemas genomene arth srine epito menomneon. But also women, some out of among our group, they were astonished, struck out of their senses for themselves, having become early upon the tomb. These women from among us went upon the tomb of Jesus, and they were struck out of their senses. That goes back to 24 in verse 1. 23, Kai me heruse, to soma auto elthon laguse, kai ahtasion el angalon. Yerakene hoy lagusen auton zane. And not having found the body of him, they came saying also a vision, an optation, a vision of angels to have seen. Who, they say, him to live. The angel told them that he lives. Verse 24 now. Cai apelthon tenaes ton sin himen eti, epi that is, to menemion cai huron hutos kathos kai he genekes epon alton deuk adon. And they went some of them, of the ones with us, to the tomb. This talks about John and Peter going to the tomb. And they found, just as indeed the women, they said to him, but not they saw anything. They did not see a thing. It says in other places that it's all the grave crows laying over there. Fold it up. 2425, kai altos, apan pros altos. Oh, anote, kai rodes, te cardia tu pistion. Pistion, epi posin hois, elasing hoi profite. And he, he said to them, O foolish ones, O, O, O is an onomatopoeic word. In any language, O is O. O, whether you're hit, somebody stomps your toe, or whatever happens, O. That's an onomatopoeic word. O foolish ones, O brainless ones, O the ones that you can't put your thoughts together, and slow broad days, and slow in the heart, to believe upon all things which is. They spoke the prophets. They spoke the prophets. The word a lot last time there is third person to a first person indicative active that a loss and means that they spoke in human language. God sent prophets that spoke in human language. God sent one donkey that spoke in a human language. Balaam's donkey. 26 okay, Tata a day pathane tone Christ on chi sxl phone ace taint docks on our tone Not these things it kept on being nice as necessarily to suffer the Christ and we enter into the glory of him Why Hebrews 2 and 10 and 1st Peter 1 11 speak of it Genesis 3 15 talks about this that he shall suffer a crippling blow, but he shall overcome Satan. Verse number 27. Kai ark zay minos. Apo moses kai opo ponton ton prophet ton di er me nu sen. Aptoes en paces tes grafes ta peri e aptoes. And having begun from Moses, Genesis 3, 15, Numbers 21, verse 9, 2 Samuel 7, 12-16, John 3 and 4, Daniel 7, 13, Deuteronomy 18, 15. We see all of this. Jesus is talking from the prophets, from Moses, and goes on and tells about him. Isaiah 53, Psalm 22. And having begun from Moses, and from all the prophets he explained to them, in all the writings concerning He Himself. Verse number 28, Kai egesan eis tein komen hu eperuon te, kai autos trou poiesanto, poru teron, poru este. And they drew near to a village, the Kome, where they kept on journeying.

He disappeared in thin air. One more verse in this message. Kai epein thros alalois. Alelos. Uke hei kardial himon. Kai omene. And they said toward one another, didn't the heart of us just kept on burning with guilt and conviction? Now, in him in is not in the original language, it was put in there later for explanation. In us, as, just as, he kept on speaking to us in the road, as he kept on opening up to us the writings and the scriptures. Now let's go back and read this from the Amplified Bible. From verse 13 onward. And behold, that very day two of the disciples were going to a village called Emmaus. which is about seven miles from Jerusalem. And they were talking with each other about all these things that had occurred. And while they were conversing and discussing with one another, and remember, this is the proofs of the resurrection of Christ. The proofs of the resurrection of Christ. And it will continue on into the next class. And while they were discussing together, Jesus himself caught up with them and was already accompanying them. But their eyes were held so that they did not recognize him. And he said to them, what is this discussion that you are exchanging, throwing back and forth between you as you walk along? And they stood still, looked sad and downcast. Then one of them named Cleopas, answered him, said, do you alone dwell, stranger in Jerusalem, do not know these things that have occurred there in these days? And he said to them, what kind of things? And they said to him about Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet, mighty in work and word and before God and all the people. And how our chief priest and rulers gave him to be sentenced to the rulers to death and to crucify him. And we were hoping that it was he who would redeem us. and set Israel free. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things occurred. And moreover, some of the women of our company astounded us and drove us out of our senses. They were at the tomb early in the morning and did not find his body, and they returned saying that they had even seen a vision of the angels who said that he was alive. And some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and they found it, just as the women had said, but him they did not see or find. And Jesus said to them, O foolish one, sluggish in mind, dull of perception, and slow of heart to believe, to adhere to and trust in and rely upon everything that the prophets have spoken for a long time ago. Was it not necessary and essentially fitting that the Christ, the Messiah, should suffer all these things before entering into his glory and his majesty and splendor? Then, beginning with Moses and throughout all the prophets, he went on explaining and interpreting to them in all the scriptures the things concerning and referring to himself. And they drew near to the village to which they were going, and he acted as if he was going to go further. But they urged him and insisted, saying, toward evening, and the day is now far spent. So he went in to stay with them. And it occurred that he was reclining at a table with them. They took a loaf of bread. And he praised God and gave thanks and asked a blessing, then broke it. And he kept on giving it, multiplying it to them. When their eyes were instantly opened, And they clearly recognized him and he vanished and departed invisibly. And they said to one another, was not our heart greatly moved and burning within us while we were talking with us on the road? And as he was opening and explaining to us in the sense of all the scriptures, our Jesus is alive. He is not on that cross. He is not on the crucifix. He is not on the cross. He is not in a grave. He's sitting in heaven on the throne of God. He went there to prepare a place for us, that great, great city, New Jerusalem. Four square, big city for you and for me and for each one that will believe in him. For God so loved the world that he said he's only begotten son. that whosoever that believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life. Our Father, we send this message out tonight to honor and glorify you and your son. We praise your holy name. We thank you for the word of God that you've given us and you've preserved it all down to the ages where we can have it in its original language as it was when those disciples spoke it and wrote it. Father, thank you for our salvation. Thank you for our Lord and Savior. Thank you for all the blessings in this day of life you've given us. Please be with their words as they go out and touch hearts all over the world. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
