We don\u2019t know the actual location of Emmaus, nor do we know the names of those walking with Jesus in this story.  The story takes place later in the day on the day of Jesus\u2019 resurrection. Those Jesus walks with do not recognize Him. They are trying to figure out everything that had happened with Jesus and thinking about what the women had said about Jesus being alive and about the disciples having gone to the tomb and found it empty. Then Jesus begins to explain the scriptures to them concerning Himself. What Jesus shared is not recorded, but wouldn\u2019t it be fascinating to hear what was shared during that multi-mile walk!  What did Jesus tell them? Pastor shares the idea of Jesus, starting with the story of Abraham and Isaac in the book of Genesis: Genesis 22:1-18 - this is the story of Abraham and Isaac at Mt. Moriah.  Pastor shares some overwhelming details of this prophetic event. God tells Abraham He is going to test him and tells Abraham to sacrifice his son. And Abraham steps into obedience.  Pastor explores several phrases found in Genesis 22 \u201conly son,\u201d \u201cwhom you love, \u201cMoriah.\u201d (Moriah is where the temple wold be built in Solomon\u2019s day.) Abraham travels to Moriah and \u201con the third day\u201d they arrive at Moriah and Abraham and Isaac leave the servants and head out the rest of the way alone. Isaac carries \u201cthe wood\u201d for the offering.  Isaac asks Abraham \u201cwhere is the lamb?\u201d And Abraham replies that \u201cGod Himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.\u201d Isaac willingly allowed his father to place him on the altar. As Abraham raises the knife, an Angel of the LORD calls out, \u201cAbraham, Abraham, don\u2019t lay a hand on the boy. I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.\u201d Isaac comes off the altar and the LORD provides a lamb for the sacrifice. In verse 14 we read that Abraham called the place \u201cThe Lord Will Provide.\u201d What Abraham saw was a picture of the sacrifice of God the Father in giving His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. The story ends with, \u201cand through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.\u201d The fulfillment to that promise to Abraham is found in Christ alone.   Jesus is the Living Hope of all the world.   First use of \u201clove\u201d in the Gospels\u2026 Matthew 3:17 - at the baptism of Jesus \u201cthis is my Son, whom I love.\u201d Mark 1:11 - at the baptism of Jesus \u201cYou are my Son, whom I love\u201d Luke 3:22 - at the baptism of Jesus \u201cyou are my Son, whom I love\u201d John 3:16 - \u201cFor God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.\u201d As Jesus talked to the disciples, these are the kinds of things He would have reminded them of: He is the only One who is the Savior of the world. The only One who brings forgiveness, life and hope. The only One who brings life forevermore. He is Risen!!  He is risen indeed! He is alive! And He is returning!   Now What?
