Automated transcript. Not reviewed for accuracy.

And we want us to also give thanks to Pastor Adam as he brings the word today, O Lord God. Continue to bless him and his family. Anoint him from the top of his head to the sole of his feet. And let this service continue, Lord God, be given unto you. For it's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. The Gospel according to Luke, chapter 24, verses 28 through 35.

So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther. But they urged him strongly, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. So he went in to stay with them. When he was at table with them, he took the bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave it to them. And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him.

And he vanished from their sight. They said to each other, Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the scriptures? And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, The Lord has risen indeed and has appeared to Simon.

Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. This is the word of the Lord. is a from a man, a he. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. I do. Well, good morning. Welcome to See Change Church La Jolla. It is great that you are here today. I'm just really excited to see you guys come in and I'm really excited about this passage of scripture today. I love hearing through the week how you were blessed by what God's word did in your lives and to take time where there's a lot of other things you can do on a Sunday and to come here to hear the word of God is just amazing. Awesome. I got a couple things I want to tell you.

First of all, tonight is the window. I participate in the window service by being the head chef. So I do all the cooking and I'm trying to decide what we're going to do. I will be at Costco later. Dinner is free. It's at 530. Then we start at 6. And it really is a time where we go deeper with the Holy Spirit. We have more time of intercession and worship. And then Pastor Joshua is bringing a word tonight. And it's about an hour long service. So come at 530 and if you want to break the bread together. And then the other thing is we have a bunch of seniors graduating. And this summer, my small group stops for the summer. And I'm going to be starting a college-aged Bible study on Tuesday night starting the, I believe it's the 16th, I think, 18th, excuse me. It's going to be eight weeks long food. And then after eight weeks, we're going to go up to Big Bear for a weekend. And I'm just going to hang out with all these college students that are around and back for the summer. So if you know a college student who wants to go deep in the word and eat, or you're in that 18 to 22, maybe 23-year-old range, come be a part of it. I'd love to hang out with you on Tuesday nights starting in June. If you have your Bibles, open up to Luke 24, 28 through 35. We're in the story now of these two disciples on the day that Jesus rose from the dead, leaving Jerusalem and walking away from Jerusalem, the place that God had told them to be, and then to go to Galilee. And they're going in the opposite direction.

And in the midst of it, Jesus shows up to these two disciples. He draws near to them. He catches up to them on the road. It's about a seven-mile journey to Emmaus. And as they're going, he looks as if he's going to continue on, right? They get to their home. Now, there is some thought that this is possibly, if you listen to last week, possibly church history tells us this might be the two disciples, Jesus' uncle and aunt, right? You can listen to last week's. If that just blows your mind right there, go back and listen to last week. Clophas is there and perhaps his wife. And so Jesus draws near to them. And whether it's them or not, they invite him to go further. They invite him to relationship. They invite him into their home to eat and have a meal together. And it is this invitation that changes the trajectory of their life, completely changes the direction of their life. And as you see, and as you'll see later on in the scripture, they immediately turned and they headed back that night, that very night back to Jerusalem. I want you to write a word on the top of your notes, if you have your notes. And that word is invitation. Write the word invitation. Invitations matter. Invitations.

We're going to look at the word invitation and talk about this. This whole gospel centers around invitations. As we've seen on the pre-Easter sermon series, Jesus saying, follow me. It's an invitation. These people are inviting Jesus to stay longer. And the first point of the day is this, is wherever he is wanted, Jesus is willing. Wherever he's wanted, he's willing. One of the problems is, there's a lot of places in our lives that are off limits to Jesus. If you invite him deeper, if you go the extra mile, if you linger longer, Jesus is willing and will always accept that invitation. Number two is life happens in the broken pieces and the broken places.

We see that Jesus is recognized in the breaking of the bread. Why is that? It's kind of an interesting way to be recognized, right? Just in the breaking of the bread. And so that was in verse 31. And then the final point today is walk by faith, not by sight. Jesus, as soon as they recognize him, he disappears. Random, right? You think as soon as you recognize Jesus, he's going to stick around. You get a little bit of time to, like I said, linger longer with the risen Christ. But he's gone. He's immediately gone.

Why is that? Invitations. I think about the invitations of my life. Some I've given, some I've accepted that I shouldn't have accepted. There's certain invitations we shouldn't accept. I think one of the greatest invitations of my life was when I asked my wife out for a coffee. And that ended up being one of the best invitations that I've ever made. I think about invitations that I missed. There's a band in the 80s, and you might not have heard of them. They were called the Smiths. And I was reading Johnny Marr's book. He's the guitarist. He wrote a book. It's called, I forgot the name of the book, but I read it this week, even though I don't remember the name of it.

It's all about the Smiths. And I remember in 1986, I believe it was August 29th, 1986, I drove to our restaurants, right? We had restaurants here in San Diego. My parents, that's what we did. And one of the bus boys, I had just gotten my driver's license. I was very stoked on my Nissan Sentra, driving around, cruising. I run in there. And Chuck, which I always thought was a really cool name. I think Chuck is just a cool name, especially it's like a real 80s bus boy name, right? So I walk in, and Chuck was like this Italian dude. And I remember he was 22. I was 16.

And he was just the bomb, right? This guy just had everything going. He had a cool Fiat. I don't think they're that cool now, but it was a cool Fiat then. And Chuck says, hey, there's a show at San Diego State tonight. I have an extra ticket. Do you want to go? And I said, who is it? He says, well, they're called the Smiths. And I said, never heard of them. Tonight's Magnum P.I.

Right? Yeah, I'm getting a thumbs up from the back row there. An invitation. Now, I had never heard of them. I've heard of them now, right? I won't go into my pantheon of my favorite bands, but the Smiths and Robert Smith, which is odd, of the cure are constantly battling it out. And I said no to that invitation. And I don't know what would have happened different in my life, but nonetheless, it is one of those invitations. I'm like, oh, you all have that story. Everyone has that story of the concert they went to, right? Well, this is the one I missed. Invitations matter. And invitations can change the trajectory of your life. And I want you to think about the invitations that you're giving, because those are important. Who are you inviting in? A lot of us are doing this, unless it's like a, you know, a pyramid marketing scheme, you know, and you want someone to sell some type of drink that you're selling. Those are invitations. But what kind of invitations are you giving? What invitations are you receiving? Who have you invited into a life in Christ? Who have you invited just into your life?

The entire gospel is about invitation. And as we see here, go to verse 28 and 29. I'm going to read this. You see an invitation that changes the trajectory of their life. Verse 28 and 29. So they, the two disciples, drew near to the village to which they were going. That's Emmaus. He acted as if he were going further, but they urged him strongly, saying, stay with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. So he went in and he stayed with them.

There's a couple interesting things. One, that Jesus is just, he's, I don't think, he's not lying, right? Jesus doesn't lie. So it isn't like, oh, psych, I'm going to pretend like I'm going further. Like, he was just willing to go on to the next thing. And I think it's interesting that God's entire timeline can be changed according to an invitation from us. Now, you could say, well, no, everything's predestined. It's all set in stone and concrete. Maybe. But maybe God has the ability to rearrange time and history and events in a way that is far more existential than we believe. We believe, and I've said this multiple times, and it's one of my favorite things to say, so I'm going to say it again, is we give Google Maps more credence to reroute us to our proper destination than we give God. Google Maps can give you 37 routes, and you can choose, and we just know Google Maps can do it.

It can reroute me. It might take me through Claremont. I might go through Lakeside, but I'm eventually going to get there. But not God. He's stuck in a pattern. Whether I invite him or don't invite him, doesn't matter, because he's just going to work it out. I think Jesus would have gone further. I think without the invitation, he would have said, hey, I might circle back in Emmaus in a couple months or so. I don't know what he's doing. But this invitation mattered. He acted as if he were going to go further. But what? But. I love those conjunctions. If. But. Instead. Like those, when you read the Bible, when you see those, you know, if or you see but, just circle it and then look, because it always means it's a pivot point. It's an access. But they urged him. They urged him strongly. Now, why did they urge him strongly? Because they had been walking with this guy that was just like riffing on the scriptures, right? He was freestyling the scriptures to them from Moses all the way down. They'll say later, as we'll see at the end of this passage, that weren't our hearts burning as he spoke the scriptures to us. They urged him to stay. How often do we urge Jesus to stay?

How often do we say, just a little bit longer? I have this thing in my time with the Lord. If I'm ever having a quiet time, which I do regularly in the mornings, I still struggle with the consistency. You know, I'm not Jonathan Edwards every morning for an hour and a half, you know, on my knees. It just, I really struggle with the consistency. I'd much rather just get about my day oftentimes than take that time with the Lord. And it's kind of embarrassing as a pastor to actually say that, right? But how often would I have this habit of, like, when I do spend time with the Lord, then I'll get to a place where I'm like, okay, all of a sudden I feel his presence. Like, I'll be praying and I'll be like, okay. Now he's there anyways, right? Whether I feel it or not. Whether I recognize him or not. Just like in this passage. But I tend to be like, oh, check the box. Let's go.

Like, I experienced God's presence and I'm like, God's here. I can sense him in prayer. And I'm like, good. Nailed it. Like, you would think if he shows up and you feel his presence, you're like, I'm going to cancel that next appointment because I'm here with Jesus. When was the last time you urged, urged him to stay? Man, just, I think not intentionally, like with verbal words to Jesus, but I think I regularly urge him to go. Maybe I don't urge him to go, but yeah, you can stay here because I'm going to go a little distance this way. I'm going to go a little distant that way. And I'll get back to it when it's more convenient. You see that their entire life is changed by the invitation they made to Jesus. Let me just say, what invitations are you making to Jesus? Are you inviting him into your marriage? Are you inviting him into your relationships? Are you inviting him, God forbid, into your sex life? What does that look like? I can't ever talk about that because God, you know, he doesn't want to talk about that. He created it. He knows what he's doing. He did it on purpose. You can invite him into any part of your life, but maybe that's taboo because you don't want him going to the places that perhaps you want to go. Where are we inviting? It changes the trajectory. Next thing we see, go to verse 29. But they urged him strongly saying, stay with us for it is towards evening. The end of the day, the day is now far spent. So he went in with them.

So he went in to sup with them. He went into their place with them. Where Jesus is welcomed, Jesus is willing. Do we welcome him? I think just the art of the invitation, you could even say this to Jesus, Jesus, I don't want you in my life here, but I'm going to welcome you to take it over on your terms. You can be honest with God. You can say, Jesus, I don't want to give up this thing in my life, this sin. I don't want to give up my control of my finances. I don't want to do it your way. I want, but you know what? I'm, I let you, I'm, I'm inviting you in against my will.

Please come in and change it. Help. My four letter, my favorite four letter prayer. Help. Invite him in. Where are you inviting Jesus? We see, this is a pattern that you see in the scripture. In Genesis, you'll see in the notes, 18, 13. Abraham invites Jesus in. Remember there's, there's, where actually the Godhead shows up, or God and two angels, and there's a little bit of a discrepancy upon who he's meeting, and if it's angels, or if it's God. I tend to believe it's, it's the, the Trinity that is there represented, but we can have that discussion later. But nonetheless, it says in Genesis 18, 3, Abraham says, if I have found favor in your eyes, my Lord, do not pass your servant by. Do you see the parallel there between this, what's happening here?

Jesus always reaching back from his life into the Old Testament, into the scriptures, into history. Verse four, let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me just stop again. The washing of the feet, where did that just happen? It happened with Jesus washing the feet of the disciples, right? You see it here in the scripture. There's so much parallel in the scriptures. Go to verse five. Abraham again, let me get you something to eat. Let me be inconvenienced, so you can be refreshed, and then you can go on your way, now that you have come to your servant. I love that. Let me prepare a place. Let me, let me, let me prepare. Let me invite you in and prepare a place where we go away. In my 20s, I was, I was really good in my 20s as I was studying monasticism as part of my seminary courses, and I thought, man, they used to go away a lot and just be with Jesus. The ancient fathers, there's a guy named Saint Anthony, if you haven't heard of him.

First century saint, lived in the desert, lived in a cave, just wanted to spend his whole life with God. He was so holy, people kept going to the cave, and he'd be like, oh. So he finally dedicated a day where he said, okay, you can come see me, because I want to be with God six days a week, but I'll give you one day a week where you can come to the cave, and I will talk to human beings. Like, whatever you think. So I started in my 20s, like, going up to this place in Santa Barbara. I'd spend five days. I'd do a silent retreat, spend time with the Lord, have my Bible, sit, read, journal. It's really funny, as now I'm 50-something, I'm supposed to be spiritual, and I just don't find the same amount of time to do what I did in my 20s, to maintain those things. And if you've been walking with the Lord for a long time, and this is for you new believers and people who are soon to be believers here, it is actually hard to continue to mature in your faith sometimes, because you can just get stuck in a rut of just, like, A minus Christianity. Like, it's A minus, right? You're giving, you're showing up, you're volunteering a little bit, but to go deeper into eternity, that's what they're inviting him into.

I found that the invitations are scary for me. Jesus, I want to know more about your love, the eternity of your love. That's an eternal seed, right? If you're a free diver, you know, you dive deep. There is no bottom to God's love. If you just say, God, I want to be, I want to invite you into my life that I might understand your love. What invitations do you need to be asking? What invitations do you need to be asking of other people? Revelation 3.20, let me just lay this one down. Behold, it's Jesus, I stand at the door and I knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come to him and eat with him and he with me. Excuse me, he's not only knocking, here's my voice. There's Joe over there. Joe! Joe, are you home? Joe! I bet he's persistent.

Don't you think Jesus is persistent? Like how, like the annoying, like, you know what I mean? He's not like the Amazon guy that comes and drops the box and runs, you know, with his speaker on way too loud, parked illegally. No offense. Right? No offense, Amazon. I'm just saying, just find a parking spot. Stands at the door and he knocks. He's calling your name. Invite him in. He says he'll sit down and he'll eat with you. I've got all these problems in my life. I'm trying to figure it out with my mind, right? You're doing it too? You're just using your mind to figure out your mind's problems, which is kind of ridiculous. You're just arguing with yourself. When all I need to do is say, Jesus, I just need to spend some more time with you. Come in and sup with me. Just sit with me. Let me read your scriptures.

Let me spend, let me go away with you. Let me inconvenience myself. Let me just make a little bit of bread for you, a little bit of water for your feet. What does that look like to inconvenience ourselves, to spend time with God, to take this and put it away for a day? Whatever that thing is, to give this a St. Anthony for just a day, right? Second thing, life happens in the broken pieces and broken places. Verse 31.

When he was at the table with them, he took the bread and blessed them. Excuse me. He took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. And their eyes were open and they recognized him and he vanished from their sight. Invitation almost always leads to sharing. Rarely will there be an invitation unless you're, hey, I want to invite you. Norm, come over to my house and rake my yard. I'm going to invite you to do that, but I won't be there. Like that's not usually how invitations work, right?

An invitation is like, hey, show up. Now we're going to share together. Rarely does an invitation not have an element of sharing our lives together. And that is why so much of the scripture, Old Testament and new, is based around invitation. Because God is inviting us to share with himself, to share himself with us. And what I found interesting in this passage is the moment that they recognized him and how they recognized him. It says when he was at the table with them, he took the bread and blessed it. He blessed it and then he broke it. And then he gave it to them and their eyes were opened. I would think if I'm Jesus, I kind of want to live in the victory, not in the brokenness. But the victory came from the brokenness. The victory came on the cross, that he had victory over death through the resurrection. It was that moment, it was death itself. When he was on the cross, he was taking victory, being victimized, but taking victory. You see, Jesus never acted like a victim, even though he was victimized. He acted in a way of redemptive history and a redemptive story. And so we see that Jesus then now is focusing on the brokenness.

Now, where does this bread, what does this remind us of? It reminds us of 72 hours earlier. He's breaking bread and he says, now I want you to regularly, I want you to do this in remembrance of me. Like, if I was Jesus, I would have a little statue of me raised from the dead. And I would say, now I would need you to worship this statue of me in victory. But no, that's not what he says.

He says to his disciples, I want you to break this bread and I want you to do it regularly. Whenever you do this, whenever you do this, meaning it's going to be a thing that you do. We're going to do it here in two weeks at our Pentecost service. Whenever you do this, remember that it's my broken body and it's my blood that was shed. I don't want to be remembered for the loss. It's like Jesus took an L, right? But he actually took a W. He took the win on the cross. And so it's interesting that he says when he's recognized, he's not recognized in his victory afterwards in the resurrection, but he, obviously he is, but he sees himself recognized in the breaking of the bread. If you go back, go to verse 35, go down to verse 35. And they told what had happened. This is after they basically ran back to Jerusalem seven miles at night, remember? Because it was getting late and they even told Jesus not to go further. What had happened on the road and how he was made known to them, what?

In the breaking of the bread. It is interesting how Jesus is recognized in his brokenness. You see, it is in the brokenness, it is in the vulnerability, and it is in the sharing of his brokenness. You know what's interesting? They didn't recognize him until after they received his brokenness. It said he took the bread and he what? He broke it and then what? He gave it to them.

And when they took it, when they received his brokenness, the symbol of his body on the cross, when they received it, boom, all that story that he had just freestyled on, walking with them on the road to Emmaus, came into light and they recognized him immediately. Our brokenness is so powerful if we know how to share it like Jesus shared it. Right now there's a thing in our culture of people just, you know, doing Instagram dumps of their emotions and crying, and it's just some of the most unhealthy way to share brokenness that I've ever seen in my life. Because there's no actual community. It's like, here I'm broken, I want to expose my emotions to you, now tell me how awesome I am or how much you empathize with me. But Jesus is actually with them. He's sharing out of a place as a wounded healer. And what he's giving isn't asking something for himself, but he's sharing his wounds that they might be healed. Rarely do I see one of these emotional Instagram dumps of whatever thing they're upset about, where they're trying to see you be healed because of what they're sharing.

It's about me, it's about whatever. And so there's a woundedness here, and it's in a brokenness. And I just think it's amazing how brokenness is such a powerful mortar for relationships. When we do it in the way like AA does it in a meeting. When we do it in a close, like a close relationship does, when we're sitting there beside each other. Vance Havner, probably one of the greatest evangelists, according to Billy Graham of all times, all time, said, God uses broken things.

He takes broken soil and he produces a crop. He breaks clouds so that he might give rain. Broken grain to give bread. Broken bread that will give strength. A broken alabaster box that gives forth the perfume of his anointing. You see, it's so interesting how many things have to be broken so that they might be shared. When we take the things in our lives that are some of the most, the hardest things, the things that we've dealt with in our brokenness, and when we live in the victory, remember he's sharing this after his resurrection. We live in the victory of that, then we become those wounded healers that we take our brokenness and we share it with others.

Never be ashamed of your brokenness. We love broken people, but just don't be a person who breaks other people. You see, we love broken people. We love to share that. We love the vulnerability that comes through that. The final point is this, walk by faith, not by sight. Verse 30, when he was at the table with them, he took the bread, he blessed it, broke it, gave it to them, and their eyes were opened. They recognized him, and he vanished from their sight. Once they see him clearly, he vanishes. The question is, why? Why? If I recognize you finally and I see you, why? Perhaps he's transitioning them from a life by sight to a life of faith. A life that isn't about everything you can see and touch, but a life of faith, because the Holy Spirit is coming. We know this is what this whole series is about.

50 days after this exact day where this is happening, the Holy Spirit will come. Jesus is going to leave in 40. The ascension, he's going to leave during the ascension, and on the 50th day, the Holy Spirit's going to come. And he says, I am going to a place that you cannot come. I will go and prepare a place for you, but you cannot go to it. And so right here, what he is saying to them is, you need to start living by faith. And I've said over and over again that even if you were to see Jesus tonight or a fiery angel by your bedside, within a day, three days, two weeks, a month, you'd be asking yourself, did that really happen? And even if the angel came, you'd probably be asking yourself, did that really happen? Is that memory clear? Was it the lentil soup I had that kind of just made me a little sour? I don't know, whatever it was. But we will have to live according to faith, because I got to tell you, faith is always more powerful than sight. Faith is the thing that believes when you cannot see. It is the thing that believes in the dark place, and their eyes were opened. And one of the reasons I believe that this is a male and female couple, Clophas and his wife, the aunt and uncle of Jesus, is because the story parallels with the opening of their eyes so well with the Genesis narrative. Because in the Genesis narrative, you have Adam and Eve. Genesis 3-7, let me read it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked.

And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths. You see, you know what they saw that time when their eyes were opened? They saw their nakedness. They saw what would be their shame. But this time you have perhaps a couple, and I do believe it was a couple, male and female, whose eyes were opened. Doesn't that sound like God, like doing that kind of thing? It does to me.

Their eyes are opened, and no longer do they see their nakedness. No longer do they see their shame. They see the risen Jesus in front of them. Why? Because they invited him in. A simple invitation. Here's two practical takeaways. Number one, read the scriptures if you want a burning heart. Go to verse 32. Their hearts responded to the truth before their eyes were, excuse me, go to verse 32.

They said to each other, did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened the scriptures? I love that they had burning hearts before they recognized it was Jesus. I love that the burning hearts were part of a conversation about the scriptures. If you want a burning heart, read the scripture. If you want to live with a burning heart, make the Bible your friend. Make the Bible, believe that the Bible is living, the Bible, the scripture will tell you that the Bible is living, it is active, is a double-edged sword. Do you want to invite it into your life, and do you not want to just read it, but do you want to live it? If you want a burning heart, just immerse yourselves into the scripture. Let me just give you a challenge for this week. Do a two-hour, just put a, like you'll do a two-hour podcast sometimes, or a two-hour audiobook. Do a two-hour sermon, I mean scripture bath. Just find the gospels, find the books you like. I'm not saying you have to go to, you know, Numbers, Deuteronomy, maybe that's your thing, you know. I know Dan, he likes a lot of Deuteronomy over there. Find your thing, and just scripture bathe yourself for two hours. Just, you can clean your house while you're doing it. Just two hours, just scripture bathe yourself. Watch what happens.

Listen to the whole, listen to the whole book of Proverbs. Listen to all 31 Proverbs straight through. You'll, all of a sudden you'll notice around whatever, 15, 13 in the teens, you'll start noticing a shift. Second is walk back to Jesus now, verse 33. They were leaving Jerusalem, the center of the gospel story, verse 33. And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven, and those who were with them gathered together. I love it. It's nighttime. They even told Jesus, don't go any further, it's getting late. There's bandits on the road. There's actually lions back there at that time, you know, in that area. Like, come on in. Stay with us. It's too late.

Until they see Jesus, and they're like, we gotta get up out of here. We're going back to Jerusalem seven miles. Some of us just need to get back to Jerusalem now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today. Back to Jerusalem. You've been going the wrong direction. You know it. You got things in your life. You know you don't need those things in your life. You got a relationship in your life that you know doesn't, shouldn't exist at, you know, at the moment for one reason or another. You're going the wrong way, and sometimes it's just time to repent and head back to Jerusalem, because that's where the community is. That's where the covenant is.

That's where the Holy Spirit is going to fall. Get back to Jerusalem. Amen? Let's have our prayer team come forward. Stand up if you would. If you need prayer today, if you've never made a decision to follow Jesus, we have a bunch of people that have been showing up who have never followed Jesus. If you want to follow Jesus, come forward. This team's going to pray with you. They will pray with you to follow Jesus. You can make that decision.

Now is the moment of decision. Now is the moment to change your life. Now is the moment to follow Jesus. And then we'll see you baptized here and become part of the community and filled with God's Spirit. If you need prayer for anything else, healing, anything else, come forward for that. Or come back tonight for the window where we're going to go a little deeper in that as well.

If you extend your hands, we want to bless you. Lord Jesus, we want to bless your people, Lord God. We thank you, God, for your goodness and how you walk along with us. And we want to invite you in. And we'll just take a moment now. Just invite him in. Danny, just sing for a second. Would you just sing a chorus if you guys would? Just take a moment.
