Easter 2010 – The Road to Emmaus

Peter Barnes | Luke 24:13-35

SERMON  NOTES
THE  ROAD  TO  EMMAUS
Psalm 118;  Luke 24:13-35

1. Our  gloom  when  we  do  not  grasp  Christ’s  resurrection.

– the  two  were  despondent  and  downcast;  they  saw  the  cross  as  the  end  (unlike  John 12:27-28a);  can  only  confess  Jesus  as  a  prophet  (v.19)

– no  wishful  thinking  here

2.  Christ’s  suffering  and  glory  are  portrayed  in  the  Old  Testament.

–  24:25-27;  suffering  in  Ps.118:22;  Isa.53:3-5

– glory  in  Ps.110:1; Daniel 7:13-14

– effect  in  Luke 24:32

3. ‘Was  blind  but  now  I  see’.

– 24:28-31;  not  the  Last  Supper  because  Cleopas  was  not  there;  see  Luke 9:16

– 24:33-35;  1 Peter 1:3
