Description:
Delivered during the Sunday Morning Worship Service, 4/26/2026. After meeting a pair of disciples on the road to Emmaus, and hearing their mournful interpretation of the events surrounding His Crucifixion, Jesus sharply rebukes them for their dim-witted, dull-hearted, and foolish lack of belief. We will notice that His rebuke is very specific-- focused on their failure to believe what the Old Testament Scriptures had said about Him, as well as His own teaching concerning the Messiah. The rebuke was not intended to discourage but to encourage their faith, and so Jesus launches into a systematic exposition of the Old Testament to explain how clearly the Scriptures reveal the necessity of the Messiah's suffering. We will draw deep significance from the fact Jesus delivers this exposition "incognito", placing the great emphasis on the right-interpretation of the authoritative Word of God as the rule of faith and practice for the church that will continue in His absence. Ultimately we will realize that this is the great calling of the church, to profess and live by the Supremacy of the NECESSARY Word.
