The message from Pastor Steven Furtick of Elevation Church encourages listeners to embrace unexpected outcomes and find hope in times of disappointment. Using the story of two men on the road to Emmaus, he highlights how God's grace can replace unmet expectations. As the men walk down the wrong path, Jesus joins them, offering wisdom and revelation. It's through the breaking of bread that their eyes are opened to the truth, emphasizing that revelations often come after moments of brokenness. The message challenges listeners to trust in God's plan even when life doesn't go as expected.

Yeah.
00:03:34.267 --> 00:03:36.436
Yeah. i don't know.
00:03:36.502 --> 00:03:38.137
I don't know. i don't know.

I don't know. tell your neighbor,
00:03:38.571 --> 00:03:39.105
Tell your neighbor, "i don't know."
00:03:39.172 --> 00:03:39.806
"i don't know." >> congregation: i don't know.
00:03:39.872 --> 00:03:41.307
>> congregation: i don't know. >> and i love how jesus --
00:03:41.374 --> 00:03:42.408
>> and i love how jesus -- now, watch this.
00:03:42.475 --> 00:03:43.476
Now, watch this. y'all sit down let me teach you.
00:03:43.543 --> 00:03:46.246
Y'all sit down let me teach you. jesus walks up and walks
00:03:46.312 --> 00:03:48.548
Jesus walks up and walks with them even though,
00:03:48.615 --> 00:03:50.950
With them even though, everybody say, "even though."
00:03:51.017 --> 00:03:52.018
Everybody say, "even though." >> congregation: even though.
00:03:52.085 --> 00:03:53.219
>> congregation: even though. >> they are headed
00:03:53.286 --> 00:03:53.953
>> they are headed in the wrong direction.
00:03:54.020 --> 00:03:57.490
In the wrong direction. that'll blow your mind.
00:03:57.557 --> 00:04:00.159
That'll blow your mind. they are leaving jerusalem
00:04:00.226 --> 00:04:02.195
They are leaving jerusalem at the very moment that
00:04:02.262 --> 00:04:03.363
At the very moment that the resurrection is validated.
00:04:03.429 --> 00:04:05.331
The resurrection is validated. i mean, this is the moment when
00:04:05.398 --> 00:04:06.899
I mean, this is the moment when they should be celebrating
00:04:06.966 --> 00:04:08.101
They should be celebrating and they're sad,
00:04:08.167 --> 00:04:09.902
And they're sad, because they don't believe.
00:04:09.969 --> 00:04:11.804
Because they don't believe. jesus said that, i didn't.
00:04:11.871 --> 00:04:13.473
Jesus said that, i didn't. he said, "how foolish you are
00:04:13.539 --> 00:04:14.941
He said, "how foolish you are and slow to believe all that was
00:04:15.008 --> 00:04:18.511
And slow to believe all that was spoken about the messiah,
00:04:18.578 --> 00:04:21.914
Spoken about the messiah, that he had to suffer first
00:04:21.981 --> 00:04:24.217
That he had to suffer first and then enter into his glory."
00:04:24.284 --> 00:04:28.121
And then enter into his glory." so, i remember when i first
00:04:28.187 --> 00:04:30.056
So, i remember when i first heard the sermon that
00:04:30.123 --> 00:04:31.958
Heard the sermon that i need to follow jesus.
00:04:32.025 --> 00:04:34.761
I need to follow jesus. i don't remember
00:04:34.827 --> 00:04:35.528
I don't remember hearing the sermon
00:04:35.595 --> 00:04:37.330
Hearing the sermon where jesus followed me.
00:04:37.397 --> 00:04:41.601
Where jesus followed me. this is that sermon.
00:04:41.668 --> 00:04:44.170
This is that sermon. this is that moment in your life
00:04:44.237 --> 00:04:47.307
This is that moment in your life when you couldn't follow him
00:04:47.373 --> 00:04:48.675
When you couldn't follow him any farther forward,
00:04:48.741 --> 00:04:51.010
Any farther forward, when you couldn't
00:04:51.077 --> 00:04:51.978
When you couldn't hear his voice clearly,
00:04:52.045 --> 00:04:53.880
And he followed you away
00:04:53.980 --> 00:04:56.482
And he followed you away from jerusalem.
00:04:56.549 --> 00:04:58.318
From jerusalem. remember, he would
00:04:58.384 --> 00:04:59.018
Remember, he would tell the disciples
00:04:59.085 --> 00:05:00.153
Tell the disciples to stay in jerusalem,
00:05:00.219 --> 00:05:02.255
To stay in jerusalem, but when they strayed from
00:05:02.322 --> 00:05:03.790
But when they strayed from where they were supposed to be
00:05:03.856 --> 00:05:04.724
Where they were supposed to be staying in, he went with them.
00:05:04.791 --> 00:05:08.861
Staying in, he went with them. this is a different perspective
00:05:08.928 --> 00:05:11.431
This is a different perspective on praise because now i'm not
00:05:11.497 --> 00:05:14.100
On praise because now i'm not praising god for all the times
00:05:14.167 --> 00:05:15.435
Praising god for all the times that i followed him,
00:05:15.501 --> 00:05:18.438
That i followed him, when i did what
00:05:18.504 --> 00:05:19.072
When i did what i was supposed to do,
00:05:19.138 --> 00:05:20.139
When i thought what
00:05:20.239 --> 00:05:20.673
When i thought what i was supposed to think.
00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:22.275
I was supposed to think. i'm praising god for all
00:05:22.342 --> 00:05:23.810
I'm praising god for all the times that i went away
00:05:23.876 --> 00:05:27.513
The times that i went away and he followed me.

They're gonna clip this, somebody's gonna say,
00:05:35.521 --> 00:05:36.756
Somebody's gonna say, "this is heresy, to say that

"this is heresy, to say that jesus follows us."
00:05:38.791 --> 00:05:39.726
Jesus follows us." we don't have a god

We don't have a god who follows us,
00:05:41.828 --> 00:05:43.062

I understand that he's god and we're not.

He's god and we're not. i understand that it's his ways,

I understand that it's his ways, not my ways.
00:05:48.034 --> 00:05:48.768
Not my ways. i understand all of that.

Always fully capable of doing it right.
00:05:53.873 --> 00:05:56.309
Of doing it right. and i need a jesus who when

And i'll talk with you, and i'll walk with you."

"i'll even ask you questions that i already know
00:06:18.664 --> 00:06:19.565
That i already know the answer to."
00:06:19.632 --> 00:06:21.000
The answer to." what things?
00:06:21.067 --> 00:06:23.035
What things? somebody say, "what things?"
00:06:23.102 --> 00:06:24.470
Somebody say, "what things?" >> congregation: what things.
00:06:24.537 --> 00:06:25.104
>> congregation: what things. >> that's what jesus said.
00:06:25.171 --> 00:06:26.105
>> that's what jesus said. he said, "you're talking about
00:06:26.172 --> 00:06:26.939
He said, "you're talking about the things that have happened?
00:06:27.006 --> 00:06:28.207
The things that have happened? what things?
00:06:28.274 --> 00:06:29.242

Fill me in." now, we have a savior
00:06:30.643 --> 00:06:31.844
Now, we have a savior who's worthy to be followed,
00:06:31.911 --> 00:06:33.679
Who's worthy to be followed, a savior who never needs
00:06:33.746 --> 00:06:34.781
A savior who never needs to be filled in following
00:06:34.847 --> 00:06:36.883
To be filled in following people who he's asking
00:06:36.949 --> 00:06:38.651
People who he's asking to fill him in.
00:06:38.718 --> 00:06:40.153
To fill him in. what is happening in this text?
00:06:40.219 --> 00:06:42.355
What is happening in this text? this is a complete reversal
00:06:42.422 --> 00:06:44.157
This is a complete reversal from the way that we expect
00:06:44.223 --> 00:06:45.725
From the way that we expect god to operate in our lives.
00:06:45.792 --> 00:06:48.361
And yet, all of the honest ones
00:06:48.461 --> 00:06:49.896
And yet, all of the honest ones in this room will know that
00:06:49.962 --> 00:06:51.664
In this room will know that the praise that hits the deepest
00:06:51.731 --> 00:06:54.000
The praise that hits the deepest is from the realization of all
00:06:54.066 --> 00:06:55.435
Is from the realization of all of the times when you were
00:06:55.501 --> 00:06:57.437
Of the times when you were 3 miles away from jerusalem,
00:06:57.503 --> 00:07:00.072
3 miles away from jerusalem, 4 miles away from jerusalem,
00:07:00.139 --> 00:07:02.408
5 miles away from jerusalem.
00:07:02.508 --> 00:07:04.977
5 miles away from jerusalem. some of you won't admit it,
00:07:05.044 --> 00:07:06.612
Some of you won't admit it, but you are just one more
00:07:06.679 --> 00:07:08.114
But you are just one more fight away from drinking again.
00:07:08.181 --> 00:07:10.049
Fight away from drinking again. some of you won't admit it,
00:07:10.116 --> 00:07:11.451
Some of you won't admit it, but you are just one more fight
00:07:11.517 --> 00:07:12.852
But you are just one more fight away from leaving all together.
00:07:12.919 --> 00:07:14.720
Away from leaving all together. some of you won't admit it,
00:07:14.787 --> 00:07:15.788
Some of you won't admit it, but you have been so close
00:07:15.855 --> 00:07:17.523
But you have been so close to going off the deep end.
00:07:17.590 --> 00:07:19.025
To going off the deep end. oh, it would surprise everybody
00:07:19.091 --> 00:07:20.827
Oh, it would surprise everybody sitting around you if they knew.
00:07:20.893 --> 00:07:22.462
Sitting around you if they knew. but it does not surprise
00:07:22.528 --> 00:07:24.030
But it does not surprise the savior because he saw you
00:07:24.096 --> 00:07:26.799
The savior because he saw you walking away and he made
00:07:26.866 --> 00:07:28.835
Walking away and he made a way for him to be with you
00:07:28.901 --> 00:07:30.770
A way for him to be with you as you walked away.
00:07:30.837 --> 00:07:32.305
As you walked away. so, i'm trying to say
00:07:32.371 --> 00:07:34.106
So, i'm trying to say you're not too far gone.
00:07:34.173 --> 00:07:35.575

In fact, get ready, you're only one thought
00:07:38.744 --> 00:07:39.679
You're only one thought away from a praise.
00:07:39.745 --> 00:07:42.148
Away from a praise. you're only one thought away
00:07:42.215 --> 00:07:43.282
You're only one thought away from a breakthrough.
00:07:43.349 --> 00:07:45.017
From a breakthrough. you're only one
00:07:45.084 --> 00:07:45.718
You're only one thought away from joy,
00:07:45.785 --> 00:07:47.487
Thought away from joy, one thought away from
00:07:47.553 --> 00:07:48.721
One thought away from a new beginning.

Feel the holy spirit, mike. i feel god setting somebody
00:07:53.426 --> 00:07:54.827
I feel god setting somebody free from this funeral
00:07:54.894 --> 00:07:56.929
Free from this funeral that you've been having
00:07:56.996 --> 00:07:57.797
That you've been having in your mind because
00:07:57.864 --> 00:07:59.499
In your mind because you've been putting to death
00:07:59.565 --> 00:08:00.666
You've been putting to death your expectation of grace
00:08:00.733 --> 00:08:02.568
Your expectation of grace because of your own mistakes.
00:08:02.635 --> 00:08:04.370
Because of your own mistakes. but i found out about
00:08:04.437 --> 00:08:05.705
But i found out about a savior that no matter which
00:08:05.771 --> 00:08:08.274
A savior that no matter which direction i'm headed in,
00:08:08.341 --> 00:08:09.976
Direction i'm headed in, if i'm following him
00:08:10.042 --> 00:08:11.511
If i'm following him that's great,
00:08:11.577 --> 00:08:12.545
That's great, but if he has to follow me
00:08:12.612 --> 00:08:14.881
But if he has to follow me he'll do that too.
00:08:14.947 --> 00:08:16.048
[applause]
00:08:16.349 --> 00:08:17.116
So, there will
00:08:17.550 --> 00:08:18.117
Never be a day,
00:08:18.217 --> 00:08:19.018
Never be a day, there will never be a moment,
00:08:19.085 --> 00:08:20.786
There will never be a moment, there will never be a decision,
00:08:20.853 --> 00:08:22.922

A distinction, there will never
00:08:24.824 --> 00:08:25.525
There will never be a dysfunction,
00:08:25.591 --> 00:08:26.759
Be a dysfunction, there will never be a thing
00:08:26.826 --> 00:08:28.227
There will never be a thing that you will do.
00:08:28.294 --> 00:08:29.262
That you will do. what things?
00:08:29.328 --> 00:08:30.062
[applause]
00:08:30.463 --> 00:08:30.997
There will never be
00:08:31.531 --> 00:08:32.265
There will never be an event that can separate you
00:08:32.331 --> 00:08:34.033
An event that can separate you from the love of a savior
00:08:34.100 --> 00:08:35.635
From the love of a savior who will follow you when
00:08:35.701 --> 00:08:36.869
Who will follow you when you can't follow him.
00:08:36.936 --> 00:08:38.104
[applause]
00:08:38.404 --> 00:08:38.971
Now, if i had my preference,
00:08:39.405 --> 00:08:45.011
I would follow him always.
00:08:45.111 --> 00:08:48.381
I would follow him always. i would follow him always.
00:08:48.447 --> 00:08:50.850
I would follow him always. but sometimes i'm a fool.
00:08:50.917 --> 00:08:54.453
But sometimes i'm a fool. sometimes i'm too
00:08:54.520 --> 00:08:55.388
Sometimes i'm too foolish to follow.
00:08:55.454 --> 00:08:59.191
Foolish to follow. what do you do when you've
00:08:59.258 --> 00:08:59.926
What do you do when you've been too foolish to follow?
00:08:59.992 --> 00:09:02.728
Been too foolish to follow? what do you do when you know
00:09:02.795 --> 00:09:04.597
What do you do when you know that at least 51% of your kids'
00:09:04.664 --> 00:09:07.433
That at least 51% of your kids' behavior is because of stuff
00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:08.768
Behavior is because of stuff they saw you do?
00:09:08.834 --> 00:09:12.138
They saw you do? maybe i just go start
00:09:12.204 --> 00:09:13.072
Maybe i just go start my thanksgiving early.
00:09:13.139 --> 00:09:14.307
[laughter]
00:09:14.607 --> 00:09:15.341
Felt kind of cold
00:09:16.909 --> 00:09:17.443
Felt kind of cold when i said that.
00:09:17.510 --> 00:09:18.511
When i said that. notice the same jesus that

What things? what things you talking about?
00:09:30.089 --> 00:09:32.892
What things you talking about? why are you talking about jesus
00:09:32.959 --> 00:09:35.895
Why are you talking about jesus when you could talk to him?
00:09:35.962 --> 00:09:39.498
When you could talk to him? i think it's really important
00:09:39.565 --> 00:09:41.267
I think it's really important who you talk to when you are
00:09:41.334 --> 00:09:44.070
Who you talk to when you are going through certain things.
00:09:44.136 --> 00:09:47.006
Going through certain things. how many of you can testify
00:09:47.073 --> 00:09:48.107
How many of you can testify either by positive or negative
00:09:48.174 --> 00:09:49.542
Either by positive or negative experience in your life that
00:09:49.609 --> 00:09:51.544
Experience in your life that who you talk to when you're
00:09:51.611 --> 00:09:52.678

00:09:52.745 --> 00:09:53.546
[applause]
00:09:53.879 --> 00:09:56.048
Depends on what you
00:09:56.415 --> 00:09:56.983
Depends on what you have left when you get done.
00:09:57.049 --> 00:09:59.852
Have left when you get done. i'mma say that again,
00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:00.820
I'mma say that again, that was too good and holly
00:10:00.886 --> 00:10:01.754
Didn't write it down.
00:10:01.854 --> 00:10:02.622
[laughter]
00:10:03.055 --> 00:10:03.889
Who you talk to when
00:10:04.290 --> 00:10:05.424
Who you talk to when you go through things
00:10:05.491 --> 00:10:07.360
You go through things determines what you have
00:10:07.426 --> 00:10:08.260
Determines what you have left when you get done.
00:10:08.327 --> 00:10:12.999
Left when you get done. and i thought the fact that
00:10:13.065 --> 00:10:13.766
And i thought the fact that at least they had each other
00:10:13.833 --> 00:10:14.867
Was comforting to me to talk
00:10:14.967 --> 00:10:17.370
Was comforting to me to talk to about their disappointment,
00:10:17.436 --> 00:10:19.839
To about their disappointment, to talk to about what
00:10:19.905 --> 00:10:21.741
To talk to about what was supposed to happen versus
00:10:21.807 --> 00:10:22.808
Was supposed to happen versus what actually did.
00:10:22.875 --> 00:10:23.809
What actually did. to talk to.
00:10:23.876 --> 00:10:25.011
To talk to. who do you talk to
00:10:25.077 --> 00:10:26.245
Who do you talk to when you're disappointed?
00:10:26.312 --> 00:10:28.914
When you're disappointed? and i hope it's somebody
00:10:28.981 --> 00:10:29.649
And i hope it's somebody besides yourself.
00:10:29.715 --> 00:10:32.685
Besides yourself. you cannot keep your own
00:10:32.752 --> 00:10:34.387
You cannot keep your own counsel in seasons of chaos.
00:10:34.453 --> 00:10:40.526
Counsel in seasons of chaos. i know, you went to duke,
00:10:40.593 --> 00:10:42.995
I know, you went to duke, don't care.
00:10:43.062 --> 00:10:44.296

And don't care christmas. don't care where

Don't care where you went to school.
00:10:49.335 --> 00:10:52.972
You went to school. it doesn't say that the men
00:10:53.039 --> 00:10:53.906
It doesn't say that the men weren't educated,
00:10:53.973 --> 00:10:55.775
Weren't educated, it says that
00:10:55.841 --> 00:10:56.676
It says that they were disappointed.
00:10:56.742 --> 00:10:59.512
They were disappointed. and jesus being
00:10:59.578 --> 00:11:01.647
And jesus being in very nature god,
00:11:01.714 --> 00:11:02.682
In very nature god, who did not consider
00:11:02.748 --> 00:11:03.916
Who did not consider equality with god
00:11:03.983 --> 00:11:04.684
Equality with god something to be grasped,
00:11:04.750 --> 00:11:05.718
Something to be grasped, but made himself a servant,
00:11:05.785 --> 00:11:06.886
But made himself a servant, made himself a servant,

Comes up alongside them and begins to speak with them.

Every single word of this text and tried to bring
00:12:10.449 --> 00:12:12.718
Text and tried to bring all of the meaning out
00:12:12.785 --> 00:12:13.686
All of the meaning out of it that i could.
00:12:13.753 --> 00:12:14.487
Of it that i could. but today, just as a backdrop,
00:12:14.553 --> 00:12:16.756
But today, just as a backdrop, i wanna tell you, don't let

Of your life, this season of the relationship,
00:12:26.031 --> 00:12:28.701
This season of the relationship, this season of your struggle
00:12:28.768 --> 00:12:31.370
This season of your struggle with the thing inside
00:12:31.437 --> 00:12:32.204
With the thing inside of yourself become a stop sign
00:12:32.271 --> 00:12:36.876
Of yourself become a stop sign that causes you to quit growing
00:12:36.942 --> 00:12:39.245
That causes you to quit growing and coming toward god.
00:12:39.311 --> 00:12:41.914
And coming toward god. so, then if we were
00:12:41.981 --> 00:12:44.016
So, then if we were to make this on the screen
00:12:44.083 --> 00:12:45.751
To make this on the screen and i was to tell you,
00:12:45.818 --> 00:12:46.752
And i was to tell you, "don't let
00:12:46.819 --> 00:12:47.286
"don't let the funeral fool you,"
00:12:47.353 --> 00:12:50.356
The funeral fool you," first thing i wanna show
00:12:50.422 --> 00:12:52.191
First thing i wanna show you in the scripture
00:12:52.258 --> 00:12:56.462
You in the scripture what happened after jesus
00:12:56.529 --> 00:12:59.298
What happened after jesus followed these boys,
00:12:59.365 --> 00:13:00.499
Followed these boys, 'cause this is the best part.
00:13:00.566 --> 00:13:04.003
'cause this is the best part. all the way down here where
00:13:04.069 --> 00:13:06.672
All the way down here where he said, "what things?"
00:13:06.739 --> 00:13:07.573
He said, "what things?" and they said about
00:13:07.640 --> 00:13:08.808
Jesus of nazareth.
00:13:08.908 --> 00:13:10.676
Jesus of nazareth. and then, this part i love,
00:13:10.743 --> 00:13:13.913
And then, this part i love, when he said,
00:13:13.979 --> 00:13:15.981
When he said, "how foolish you are."
00:13:16.048 --> 00:13:18.450
"how foolish you are." and then, he said,
00:13:18.517 --> 00:13:19.018
And then, he said, "you're slow to believe."
00:13:19.084 --> 00:13:20.786
"you're slow to believe." and then, he said,
00:13:20.853 --> 00:13:22.555
And then, he said, "did not the messiah have
00:13:22.621 --> 00:13:23.222
To suffer these things,"
00:13:23.322 --> 00:13:25.658
To suffer these things," these things,
00:13:25.724 --> 00:13:28.027
These things, "and then enter his glory?"
00:13:28.093 --> 00:13:31.497
"and then enter his glory?" and beginning with moses
00:13:31.564 --> 00:13:32.631
And beginning with moses and all the prophets,
00:13:32.698 --> 00:13:34.099
And all the prophets, he explained to them what was
00:13:34.166 --> 00:13:35.267
He explained to them what was said in all the scriptures
00:13:35.334 --> 00:13:36.368
Said in all the scriptures concerning himself.
00:13:36.435 --> 00:13:38.637
Concerning himself. so, jesus told them about jesus.
00:13:38.704 --> 00:13:43.609
[laughter]
00:13:44.009 --> 00:13:44.476
Forget what you heard,
00:13:46.011 --> 00:13:48.380
Forget what you heard, forget what you thought.
00:13:48.447 --> 00:13:51.150
Forget what you thought. forget the fact that you were
00:13:51.217 --> 00:13:52.084
Forget the fact that you were taught that god will only
00:13:52.151 --> 00:13:54.854
Taught that god will only be with you if you're
00:13:54.920 --> 00:13:55.588
Be with you if you're following him faithfully.
00:13:55.654 --> 00:13:58.924
Following him faithfully. forget what you heard,
00:13:58.991 --> 00:14:00.359
Forget what you heard, forget what you thought,
00:14:00.426 --> 00:14:01.827
Forget what you thought, forget what you told
00:14:01.894 --> 00:14:03.329
Forget what you told yourself at the funeral,
00:14:03.395 --> 00:14:05.631
Yourself at the funeral, forget the story that you
00:14:05.698 --> 00:14:07.366
Forget the story that you have been telling yourself,
00:14:07.433 --> 00:14:08.100
Have been telling yourself, because when jesus died,
00:14:08.167 --> 00:14:11.871
Because when jesus died, it was a part of the story.
00:14:11.937 --> 00:14:14.640
It was a part of the story. now, let me break
00:14:14.707 --> 00:14:15.307
Now, let me break this down real good.
00:14:15.374 --> 00:14:16.842
This down real good. things happen in our lives
00:14:16.909 --> 00:14:18.143
Things happen in our lives that become a part of our story
00:14:18.210 --> 00:14:19.945
That become a part of our story and we can't change those.
00:14:20.012 --> 00:14:22.948
And we can't change those. so, you step outside of your
00:14:23.015 --> 00:14:25.751
So, you step outside of your integrity and now you realize
00:14:25.818 --> 00:14:27.486
Integrity and now you realize this changed my story forever.
00:14:27.553 --> 00:14:29.588
This changed my story forever. jesus didn't step outside
00:14:29.655 --> 00:14:30.689
Jesus didn't step outside of his integrity,
00:14:30.756 --> 00:14:32.057
Of his integrity, the people who killed
00:14:32.124 --> 00:14:33.158
The people who killed him did, he did it.
00:14:33.225 --> 00:14:34.994
Him did, he did it. but now even their sin became
00:14:35.060 --> 00:14:36.729
But now even their sin became a part of the story.
00:14:36.795 --> 00:14:38.030
A part of the story. now, it was the part
00:14:38.097 --> 00:14:38.998
Of the story that was
00:14:39.098 --> 00:14:39.899
Of the story that was the most redemptive,
00:14:39.965 --> 00:14:42.001
The most redemptive, but it was the hardest
00:14:42.067 --> 00:14:43.235
But it was the hardest to recognize as redemptive.
00:14:43.302 --> 00:14:45.671
To recognize as redemptive. so the part of the gospel story
00:14:45.738 --> 00:14:47.640
So the part of the gospel story where our sin was being paid for
00:14:47.706 --> 00:14:49.875
Where our sin was being paid for was the part of the story that
00:14:49.942 --> 00:14:51.543
Was the part of the story that discouraged these men and made
00:14:51.610 --> 00:14:52.912
Discouraged these men and made them wanna walk away.
00:14:52.978 --> 00:14:55.247
Them wanna walk away. in other words, the moment
00:14:55.314 --> 00:14:56.548
In other words, the moment that jesus was dying,
00:14:56.615 --> 00:14:57.883
That jesus was dying, he was doing the most.
00:14:57.950 --> 00:15:00.786
He was doing the most. when he was teaching,
00:15:00.853 --> 00:15:01.620
When he was teaching, that was good.
00:15:01.687 --> 00:15:03.022
That was good. when he was healing,
00:15:03.088 --> 00:15:04.323
That was good.
00:15:04.423 --> 00:15:05.424
That was good. when he was opening blind eyes,
00:15:05.491 --> 00:15:07.459
When he was opening blind eyes, that was good.
00:15:07.526 --> 00:15:08.294
That was good. when he was raising lazarus,
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.029
When he was raising lazarus, that was good,
00:15:10.095 --> 00:15:11.063
That was good, but when he was dying,
00:15:11.130 --> 00:15:12.798
But when he was dying, it wasn't just a good thing,
00:15:12.865 --> 00:15:14.600
It wasn't just a good thing, it was the thing.
00:15:14.667 --> 00:15:16.468
It was the thing. that was the thing
00:15:16.535 --> 00:15:18.037
That was the thing that he came to do.
00:15:18.103 --> 00:15:19.305
That he came to do. and while he was doing
00:15:19.371 --> 00:15:20.906
And while he was doing the thing that he came to do,
00:15:20.973 --> 00:15:22.975
The thing that he came to do, they were interpreting the thing
00:15:23.042 --> 00:15:25.377
They were interpreting the thing that would bring them redemption
00:15:25.444 --> 00:15:27.079
That would bring them redemption as being the thing that
00:15:27.146 --> 00:15:28.948
As being the thing that made it all worthless.
00:15:29.014 --> 00:15:32.217
Made it all worthless. when you're hurting,
00:15:32.284 --> 00:15:34.119
When you're hurting, your interpretations
00:15:34.186 --> 00:15:35.287
Your interpretations become distorted.
00:15:35.354 --> 00:15:36.689
Become distorted. when you are hurting,
00:15:36.755 --> 00:15:38.157
When you are hurting, your interpretations
00:15:38.223 --> 00:15:39.458
Your interpretations cannot be trusted.
00:15:39.525 --> 00:15:40.826
Cannot be trusted. when you are hurting,
00:15:40.893 --> 00:15:42.127
When you are hurting, you will see the best thing
00:15:42.194 --> 00:15:43.629
You will see the best thing as the worst thing.
00:15:43.696 --> 00:15:44.997
As the worst thing. when you are hurting,
00:15:45.064 --> 00:15:46.031
When you are hurting, you will be attracted
00:15:46.098 --> 00:15:47.132
You will be attracted to unhealthy people who
00:15:47.199 --> 00:15:48.834
To unhealthy people who will enable you rather
00:15:48.901 --> 00:15:50.336
Will enable you rather than healthy friends
00:15:50.402 --> 00:15:51.637
Than healthy friends who can help heal you.
00:15:51.704 --> 00:15:53.339
Who can help heal you. when you are hurting,
00:15:53.405 --> 00:15:54.840
When you are hurting, you will run to things
00:15:54.907 --> 00:15:55.541
You will run to things that will numb you,
00:15:55.607 --> 00:15:56.809
That will numb you, rather than running to things
00:15:56.875 --> 00:15:58.510
Rather than running to things that can set you free.
00:15:58.577 --> 00:15:59.778
[applause]
00:16:00.112 --> 00:16:00.446
When you are hurting,
00:16:00.746 --> 00:16:01.413
When you are hurting, your interpretation
00:16:01.480 --> 00:16:02.314
Your interpretation of events cannot be trusted,
00:16:02.381 --> 00:16:04.516
Of events cannot be trusted, and that's when we need jesus.
00:16:04.583 --> 00:16:09.088
And that's when we need jesus. i need jesus to walk with me.
00:16:09.154 --> 00:16:12.157
I need jesus to walk with me. i need jesus to wake up with me.
00:16:12.224 --> 00:16:14.860
I need jesus to wake up with me. i need jesus to lay down
00:16:14.927 --> 00:16:17.463
I need jesus to lay down beside me when i lay down
00:16:17.529 --> 00:16:19.264
Beside me when i lay down and i'm tossing
00:16:19.331 --> 00:16:19.965
And i'm tossing and turning about
00:16:20.032 --> 00:16:21.200
The storms that i'm facing.
00:16:21.300 --> 00:16:23.002
The storms that i'm facing. i need jesus to help me know
00:16:23.068 --> 00:16:25.070
I need jesus to help me know which door is him because
00:16:25.137 --> 00:16:26.839
Which door is him because every open door is not god.
00:16:26.905 --> 00:16:30.709
Every open door is not god. i need jesus to let me know
00:16:30.776 --> 00:16:33.746
I need jesus to let me know which calls to pick up.
00:16:33.812 --> 00:16:35.447
I need jesus to let me know
00:16:35.547 --> 00:16:37.282
I need jesus to let me know which texts to send.
00:16:37.349 --> 00:16:38.650
Which texts to send. i'm trying to say that
00:16:38.717 --> 00:16:40.119
I'm trying to say that i need him every hour.
00:16:40.185 --> 00:16:44.890
I need him every hour. let me tell a story
00:16:44.957 --> 00:16:45.524
Let me tell a story before i break this all
00:16:45.591 --> 00:16:46.158
Before i break this all the way down into scripture.
00:16:46.225 --> 00:16:47.059
The way down into scripture. am i breaking this down good is?
00:16:47.126 --> 00:16:49.061
Am i breaking this down good is? well, man, it's good to me.
00:16:49.128 --> 00:16:50.262
[applause]
00:16:50.629 --> 00:16:52.698
So graham,
00:16:53.032 --> 00:16:53.365
So graham, i didn't ask permission,
00:16:53.432 --> 00:16:53.866
I didn't ask permission, so i asked for

So i asked for future forgiveness
00:16:54.433 --> 00:16:55.200
Future forgiveness for telling this story.
00:16:55.267 --> 00:16:57.636
For telling this story. he was fussing at us
00:16:57.703 --> 00:16:58.404
He was fussing at us the other day because
00:16:58.470 --> 00:16:59.138
The other day because we were leaving and we had
00:16:59.204 --> 00:16:59.938
We were leaving and we had just left for tour,
00:17:00.005 --> 00:17:01.240
Just left for tour, but we needed to leave
00:17:01.306 --> 00:17:02.007
But we needed to leave and get a few days
00:17:02.074 --> 00:17:02.608
And get a few days away after tour to recover.
00:17:02.674 --> 00:17:03.876
Away after tour to recover. and graham said something very
00:17:03.942 --> 00:17:05.210
And graham said something very funny and he's 17 years old now,
00:17:05.277 --> 00:17:07.346
Funny and he's 17 years old now, but he said,
00:17:07.413 --> 00:17:07.913
But he said, "i still need parents!"
00:17:07.980 --> 00:17:10.049
[laughter]
00:17:10.349 --> 00:17:11.016
You would think
00:17:11.350 --> 00:17:11.784
You would think he would be happy
00:17:11.850 --> 00:17:12.484
He would be happy we were going out of town,
00:17:12.551 --> 00:17:13.352
We were going out of town, but he is such a good kid.
00:17:13.419 --> 00:17:14.586
But he is such a good kid. there's nothing that he wanted
00:17:14.653 --> 00:17:15.621
There's nothing that he wanted to do that he couldn't do
00:17:15.687 --> 00:17:16.588
To do that he couldn't do when we were there
00:17:16.655 --> 00:17:18.057
When we were there and he wanted parents.
00:17:18.123 --> 00:17:19.458
And he wanted parents. and holly said,
00:17:19.525 --> 00:17:20.559
And holly said, "you have parents.
00:17:20.626 --> 00:17:22.194
"you have parents. we flew you out for four days
00:17:22.261 --> 00:17:23.762
We flew you out for four days of tour and you had all
00:17:23.829 --> 00:17:26.265
Of tour and you had all your friends over this weekend
00:17:26.331 --> 00:17:27.633
Your friends over this weekend and we were here the whole time,
00:17:27.699 --> 00:17:28.500
And we were here the whole time, we're just leaving
00:17:28.567 --> 00:17:29.268
We're just leaving for three days."
00:17:29.334 --> 00:17:31.136
For three days." and he said,
00:17:31.203 --> 00:17:32.504
And he said, "well, i don't need you
00:17:32.571 --> 00:17:33.205
"well, i don't need you on the weekend."
00:17:33.272 --> 00:17:34.506
[laughter]
00:17:34.807 --> 00:17:37.776
What a phrase.
00:17:39.178 --> 00:17:40.846
[laughter]
00:17:41.180 --> 00:17:41.814
What a confession.
00:17:42.214 --> 00:17:44.516
What a confession. i don't need you on the weekend.
00:17:44.583 --> 00:17:47.019
I don't need you on the weekend. i just need you when i want you.
00:17:47.086 --> 00:17:50.389
I just need you when i want you. i just need you when
00:17:50.456 --> 00:17:51.390
I just need you when it's convenient.
00:17:51.457 --> 00:17:52.825
It's convenient. i'm not saying he's a bad kid,
00:17:52.891 --> 00:17:53.759
I'm not saying he's a bad kid, he's a great kid,
00:17:53.826 --> 00:17:55.427
He's a great kid, but what if that's
00:17:55.494 --> 00:17:56.195
Our attitude toward god?
00:17:56.295 --> 00:18:02.935
Our attitude toward god? what if we need him
00:18:03.001 --> 00:18:03.735
What if we need him for all of it?
00:18:03.802 --> 00:18:05.971
For all of it? what if we need him
00:18:06.038 --> 00:18:06.805
What if we need him for every single bit of it?
00:18:06.872 --> 00:18:10.042
For every single bit of it? what if he wants
00:18:10.109 --> 00:18:10.776
What if he wants to be in all of it?
00:18:10.843 --> 00:18:12.578
To be in all of it? what if god is waiting for you
00:18:12.644 --> 00:18:14.746
What if god is waiting for you to pray his presence into
00:18:14.813 --> 00:18:16.181
To pray his presence into your panic attack?
00:18:16.248 --> 00:18:18.383
[applause]
00:18:18.750 --> 00:18:20.819
What if he wants to be
00:18:21.186 --> 00:18:21.887
What if he wants to be in that with you too?
00:18:21.954 --> 00:18:24.556
What if he will follow you
00:18:24.656 --> 00:18:26.058
What if he will follow you down an emmaus road,
00:18:26.125 --> 00:18:28.260
Down an emmaus road, going the wrong way?
00:18:28.327 --> 00:18:29.661
Going the wrong way? when you say, "i'm spiraling
00:18:29.728 --> 00:18:31.430
When you say, "i'm spiraling out of control here, god.
00:18:31.497 --> 00:18:32.865
Out of control here, god. i'm spiraling out of control
00:18:32.931 --> 00:18:34.199
I'm spiraling out of control again and i'm tempted to
00:18:34.266 --> 00:18:36.235
Again and i'm tempted to sabotage because i'm spiraling."
00:18:36.301 --> 00:18:38.403
Sabotage because i'm spiraling." and what if jesus is just
00:18:38.470 --> 00:18:41.306
And what if jesus is just waiting to be more than
00:18:41.373 --> 00:18:43.442
Waiting to be more than your weekday savior?
00:18:43.509 --> 00:18:47.412
Your weekday savior? more than just the one that
00:18:47.479 --> 00:18:48.680
More than just the one that you need when things go wrong?
00:18:48.747 --> 00:18:52.551
You need when things go wrong? and the bible says that
00:18:52.618 --> 00:18:54.586
And the bible says that he began to expound.
00:18:54.653 --> 00:18:56.955
He began to expound. don't you wish you could have
00:18:57.022 --> 00:18:57.723
Don't you wish you could have heard this sermon, tim?
00:18:57.789 --> 00:18:58.991
Heard this sermon, tim? everything that was
00:18:59.057 --> 00:19:00.025
Everything that was in the scriptures
00:19:00.092 --> 00:19:01.193
In the scriptures concerning himself.
00:19:01.260 --> 00:19:03.028
Concerning himself. that would be an amazing sermon.
00:19:03.095 --> 00:19:05.797
That would be an amazing sermon. and it would take two or three
00:19:05.864 --> 00:19:06.698
And it would take two or three hours to walk these 7 miles
00:19:06.765 --> 00:19:07.966
Hours to walk these 7 miles because it said it was
00:19:08.033 --> 00:19:08.734
Because it said it was a 7 mile road.
00:19:08.800 --> 00:19:09.902
A 7 mile road. so, over the course
00:19:09.968 --> 00:19:10.802
So, over the course of two or three hours,
00:19:10.869 --> 00:19:12.871
Of two or three hours, this man gives a whole series
00:19:12.938 --> 00:19:15.307
This man gives a whole series where he tells them
00:19:15.374 --> 00:19:16.241
Where he tells them who he is and they still
00:19:16.308 --> 00:19:17.943
Who he is and they still don't get it.
00:19:18.010 --> 00:19:20.279
Don't get it. that's the irony of the text.
00:19:20.345 --> 00:19:21.980
That's the irony of the text. "as they approached the village
00:19:22.047 --> 00:19:24.183
"as they approached the village to which they were going,
00:19:24.249 --> 00:19:24.983
To which they were going, jesus continued on as
00:19:25.050 --> 00:19:26.552
Jesus continued on as if he were going farther."
00:19:26.618 --> 00:19:28.921
If he were going farther." keyword, well two words,
00:19:28.987 --> 00:19:30.923
Keyword, well two words, "as if."
00:19:30.989 --> 00:19:33.325
"as if." and you say,
00:19:33.392 --> 00:19:33.959
And you say, "why would jesus continue on
00:19:34.026 --> 00:19:35.961
"why would jesus continue on as if he were going farther?"
00:19:36.028 --> 00:19:38.830
As if he were going farther?" because sometimes god
00:19:38.897 --> 00:19:39.998
Because sometimes god delights to be invited.
00:19:40.065 --> 00:19:45.137
Delights to be invited. to be invited.
00:19:45.204 --> 00:19:47.306
To be invited. you say, "well, isn't he
00:19:47.372 --> 00:19:48.140
You say, "well, isn't he present everywhere?"
00:19:48.207 --> 00:19:48.840
Yeah, but he permeates you
00:19:48.941 --> 00:19:52.844
Yeah, but he permeates you when you ask him to.
00:19:52.911 --> 00:19:56.081
When you ask him to. he's present, but he permeates
00:19:56.148 --> 00:20:00.152
He's present, but he permeates when you give permission.
00:20:00.219 --> 00:20:03.121
When you give permission. because, watch this,
00:20:03.188 --> 00:20:04.122
This is more than
00:20:04.223 --> 00:20:04.690
This is more than just hospitality, y'all.
00:20:04.756 --> 00:20:07.159
Just hospitality, y'all. he acted like he was
00:20:07.226 --> 00:20:07.960
He acted like he was going farther, he was like,
00:20:08.026 --> 00:20:08.694
Going farther, he was like, "well, good chat,
00:20:08.760 --> 00:20:09.861
"well, good chat, hope you learned something."
00:20:09.928 --> 00:20:11.496
Hope you learned something." they still
00:20:11.563 --> 00:20:12.197
They still don't know it's jesus.
00:20:12.264 --> 00:20:13.966
Don't know it's jesus. how do they not know it's jesus?
00:20:14.032 --> 00:20:15.500
How do they not know it's jesus? they're still at the funeral.
00:20:15.567 --> 00:20:17.936
They're still at the funeral. he's supposed to be
00:20:18.003 --> 00:20:18.637
He's supposed to be in the ground.
00:20:18.704 --> 00:20:20.005
In the ground. they don't believe the angel,
00:20:20.072 --> 00:20:21.173
They don't believe the angel, they don't believe the report,
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.341
They don't believe the report, they don't believe the women.
00:20:22.407 --> 00:20:25.177
They don't believe the women. they don't believe
00:20:25.244 --> 00:20:25.744
They don't believe what they heard.
00:20:25.811 --> 00:20:27.646
What they heard. and they can't even believe
00:20:27.713 --> 00:20:28.580
And they can't even believe what they're seeing,
00:20:28.647 --> 00:20:29.848
What they're seeing, they don't recognize him.
00:20:29.915 --> 00:20:30.849
They don't recognize him. but they urged him, strongly,
00:20:30.916 --> 00:20:34.086
But they urged him, strongly, "stay with us for
00:20:34.152 --> 00:20:35.120
"stay with us for it is nearly evening."
00:20:35.187 --> 00:20:36.288
It is nearly evening." stay with us for it
00:20:36.355 --> 00:20:37.823
Stay with us for it is nearly evening.
00:20:37.889 --> 00:20:38.724
Is nearly evening. "'the day is almost over.'
00:20:38.790 --> 00:20:40.892
"'the day is almost over.' so he," watch this,
00:20:40.959 --> 00:20:43.195
So he," watch this, "went in to stay with them."
00:20:43.262 --> 00:20:45.764
"went in to stay with them." and my favorite thing
00:20:45.831 --> 00:20:46.531
And my favorite thing about the text is not even
00:20:46.598 --> 00:20:48.800
About the text is not even that he followed them going
00:20:48.867 --> 00:20:50.269
That he followed them going the wrong way down the road.
00:20:50.335 --> 00:20:52.504
The wrong way down the road. my favorite thing about the text
00:20:52.571 --> 00:20:53.772
My favorite thing about the text is not even that he gave them
00:20:53.839 --> 00:20:55.274
Is not even that he gave them an amazing summary,
00:20:55.340 --> 00:20:57.676
An amazing summary, an entire semester's worth
00:20:57.743 --> 00:20:59.478
An entire semester's worth of education in
00:20:59.544 --> 00:21:00.612
Of education in how he was the rock in
00:21:00.679 --> 00:21:01.980
How he was the rock in the wilderness and how he was
00:21:02.047 --> 00:21:04.049
The wilderness and how he was the -- he was the rod of aaron
00:21:04.116 --> 00:21:06.084
The -- he was the rod of aaron and how he fulfilled
00:21:06.151 --> 00:21:07.286
And how he fulfilled everything that moses
00:21:07.352 --> 00:21:08.453
Everything that moses spoke of and how he was
00:21:08.520 --> 00:21:10.255
Spoke of and how he was the cloud by day
00:21:10.322 --> 00:21:11.590
The cloud by day and the fire by night.
00:21:11.657 --> 00:21:12.824
And the fire by night. not only do i love the fact that
00:21:12.891 --> 00:21:14.960
Not only do i love the fact that he talked to them along the way,
00:21:15.027 --> 00:21:17.062
He talked to them along the way, i love verse 30 and 31,
00:21:17.129 --> 00:21:19.931
I love verse 30 and 31, because once he got inside
00:21:19.998 --> 00:21:21.133
Because once he got inside the house with them,
00:21:21.199 --> 00:21:22.167
The house with them, the bible says,
00:21:22.234 --> 00:21:22.834
The bible says, "when he was
00:21:22.901 --> 00:21:23.368
"when he was at the table with them,
00:21:23.435 --> 00:21:24.102
At the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks."
00:21:24.169 --> 00:21:30.275
He took bread, gave thanks." he took a bojangles biscuit,
00:21:30.342 --> 00:21:34.112
Gave thanks, "and he broke it
00:21:34.212 --> 00:21:41.053
Gave thanks, "and he broke it and began to give it to them."
00:21:41.119 --> 00:21:45.190
And began to give it to them." everybody shout this word.
00:21:45.257 --> 00:21:47.492
Everybody shout this word. >> congregation: then.
00:21:47.559 --> 00:21:48.360
>> congregation: then. >> then.
00:21:48.427 --> 00:21:49.828
>> then. "then, and only then."
00:21:49.895 --> 00:21:53.365
"then, and only then." you mean they heard
00:21:53.432 --> 00:21:54.066
You mean they heard a master's level class
00:21:54.132 --> 00:21:55.500
A master's level class from the master and they
00:21:55.567 --> 00:21:56.802
From the master and they still didn't get it?
00:21:56.868 --> 00:21:57.502
Still didn't get it? no, then, and only then,
00:21:57.569 --> 00:22:01.707
After the bread had been broken,
00:22:01.807 --> 00:22:05.911
After the bread had been broken, "then their eyes were opened."
00:22:05.977 --> 00:22:08.880
[applause]
00:22:09.214 --> 00:22:09.715
I'll say it again, in case
00:22:10.082 --> 00:22:11.950
I'll say it again, in case there's been a breaking
00:22:12.017 --> 00:22:12.918
There's been a breaking in your life lately.
00:22:12.984 --> 00:22:14.386
In your life lately. after the bread had been broken,
00:22:14.453 --> 00:22:17.289
After the bread had been broken, then their eyes had been opened.
00:22:17.356 --> 00:22:20.625
Then their eyes had been opened. but not before the bread
00:22:20.692 --> 00:22:22.227
But not before the bread had been broken,
00:22:22.294 --> 00:22:23.362
Had been broken, not when he spoke it,
00:22:23.428 --> 00:22:26.064
Not when he spoke it, when he broke it.
00:22:26.131 --> 00:22:27.499
When he broke it. something about the breaking
00:22:27.566 --> 00:22:29.468
Something about the breaking of the bread helped them
00:22:29.534 --> 00:22:31.703
Of the bread helped them to see who he really was.
00:22:31.770 --> 00:22:33.905
To see who he really was. because now they realized he
00:22:33.972 --> 00:22:36.475
Because now they realized he wasn't just killed on the cross,
00:22:36.541 --> 00:22:38.910
Wasn't just killed on the cross, he gave his life on the cross.
00:22:38.977 --> 00:22:41.446
He gave his life on the cross. he wasn't just
00:22:41.513 --> 00:22:42.481
He wasn't just hung there by humans,
00:22:42.547 --> 00:22:44.449
Hung there by humans, he was sent there by god.
00:22:44.516 --> 00:22:47.252
He was sent there by god. he wasn't just dying physically,
00:22:47.319 --> 00:22:49.388
He wasn't just dying physically, he was paying
00:22:49.454 --> 00:22:50.555
He was paying the price spiritually.
00:22:50.622 --> 00:22:52.124
The price spiritually. and it was only
00:22:52.190 --> 00:22:53.258
And it was only after the breaking
00:22:53.325 --> 00:22:54.726
After the breaking that the revelation came.
00:22:54.793 --> 00:22:56.762
That the revelation came. there are some revelations that
00:22:56.828 --> 00:22:59.030
There are some revelations that only come after the breaking.
