Emphasis Preaching Journal

Recently, one of my Bible study groups spent considerable time reading and discussing the road-to-Emmaus incident. It impressed them that Jesus reminded the two disciples that the Old Testament gave substantial evidence that the Christ had to suffer. In fact, we read from two extensive references, Isaiah 52-54 and Psalm 22. The group also studied the balance of Luke 24 and the other gospel accounts noting how the disciples strongly doubted at first that Jesus had been raised.
