8. The Emmaus Challenge
Nov. 8, Jim Battle

9. The Road to Emmaus – Luke 24:13-15
13 And behold, two of them were going that very day [Resurrection Day] to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 And they were talking with each other about all these things which had taken place. 15 While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself approached and began traveling with them…
(And for 10 verses, Luke lets us in on some of their puzzling over Jesus as Messiah, His death, and the early reports of His resurrection. Then Jesus spoke up.)

10. The Road to Emmaus – Luke 24:25-27
25 And He said to them, “O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! 26 “Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?” 27 Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

11. Your challenge: If you had the opportunity or need,
how would you begin with the books of “Moses and all of the prophets” to explain “the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures”?
