100:00:00,040 –> 00:00:08,000I’m convinced that the pain of life and perhaps in some cases the200:00:08,000 –> 00:00:15,040disappointment of religion has led many to conclude that the gospel is simply300:00:15,040 –> 00:00:21,840too good to be true and the joy of the gospel remains beyond our grasp because400:00:21,840 –> 00:00:26,500our wounded hands are too tender to grasp it.500:00:26,520 –> 00:00:31,540Welcome to open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith. I’m David Pick. Colin, that600:00:31,540 –> 00:00:36,060is a powerful picture, so many of us have been wounded in our faith. Our hopes700:00:36,060 –> 00:00:40,680have been disappointed or maybe we’ve had distorted pictures of what our life800:00:40,680 –> 00:00:45,500with Christ would be like, or we’ve built our faith on a poor foundation and900:00:45,500 –> 00:00:50,779not grown as we should. Well, today we’ll continue to look at what might happen if1000:00:50,779 –> 00:00:55,160we dare to believe. Yeah, we’re looking at the story of the disciples on the road1100:00:55,320 –> 00:00:59,980to Emmaus, and they say, we had hoped that this Jesus was going to be the Christ,1200:00:59,980 –> 00:01:04,540and then he’s crucified. So the hopes are all dashed and there’s all the pain that1300:01:04,540 –> 00:01:09,440goes with that. And then the risen Christ appears to them and they hardly dare to1400:01:09,440 –> 00:01:13,779believe. It just seems beyond the reins, this would be too good to be true, that1500:01:13,779 –> 00:01:18,820he would actually be Christ risen from the dead. So we’re gonna deal with the1600:01:18,820 –> 00:01:24,080issue that’s in this story. Some of the pain that sometimes holds people back1700:01:24,300 –> 00:01:27,779from believing. And of course the wonderful truth of the story is, Jesus1800:01:27,779 –> 00:01:32,180really was risen from the dead and there was healing for the wounds of these guys1900:01:32,180 –> 00:01:36,540and the healing came through Christ who indeed was risen from the dead.2000:01:36,540 –> 00:01:41,320We’ll find that in Luke chapter 24, so I hope you’ll join us if you can, as we2100:01:41,320 –> 00:01:44,239continue the message Daring to Believe. Here’s Colin.2200:01:44,239 –> 00:01:46,239Now look at verse 36.2300:01:47,139 –> 00:01:48,000While they were still2400:01:48,000 –> 00:01:53,580talking about this, Jesus comes and he appears to them again. And he says to2500:01:53,639 –> 00:01:58,839them, peace be with you. And they are startled and they are frightened because2600:01:58,839 –> 00:02:03,059they thought they saw a ghost, and he said to them why are you2700:02:03,059 –> 00:02:11,399troubled and why do doubts rise in your mind? You see they’ve come to the2800:02:11,399 –> 00:02:16,940position of faith but now doubt is coming back like the arrows are salting2900:02:16,940 –> 00:02:21,419the castle of faith, like the earth dumping on the bulb that has been3000:02:21,419 –> 00:02:27,720planted and the newfound faith of the disciples is already under attack from3100:02:27,720 –> 00:02:32,919doubt. They believe that Jesus is risen but no sooner have they come to the3200:02:32,919 –> 00:02:38,139point of saying I believe that they begin to say well could it just be that3300:02:38,139 –> 00:02:45,300my mind is playing a trick. Now some of you may have had exactly this experience.3400:02:45,320 –> 00:02:54,160You’ve been born again you’ve come to faith in Jesus Christ but very very soon3500:02:54,160 –> 00:02:59,119after that event in your life there’s a nagging question that seems to come3600:02:59,119 –> 00:03:06,440from outside of you and it says well was that real did anything actually happen3700:03:06,440 –> 00:03:14,279was it maybe just in your mind. How do I know that this is really God.3800:03:14,800 –> 00:03:18,199Well when that happens to you rest assured you are not alone this is3900:03:18,199 –> 00:03:25,000precisely what happened to the first disciples. There is this assault on the4000:03:25,000 –> 00:03:35,020castle of faith there is this dumping of doubt on the planted seed of faith so4100:03:35,020 –> 00:03:40,960Christ shows them his hands and his feet and then we come to a fascinating4200:03:40,960 –> 00:03:50,080statement in verse 41. Look at it with me, they still did not believe because of4300:03:50,080 –> 00:04:06,399joy and amazement. They still did not believe because of joy and amazement.4400:04:06,479 –> 00:04:08,860Now, think about what had happened to them4500:04:08,860 –> 00:04:13,679that brought them to this position. They left everything to follow Jesus, He’s4600:04:13,679 –> 00:04:18,720become the center of their whole world. He’s opened up horizons for them that4700:04:18,720 –> 00:04:21,679are beyond anything they had ever imagined in their little lives as4800:04:21,679 –> 00:04:29,880fishermen. They have walked with the Son of God. They have been given the gift of4900:04:29,880 –> 00:04:35,320everlasting life. They discovered grace and mercy and purpose and all of it5000:04:35,320 –> 00:04:39,839flows from Jesus. And then everything fell apart.5100:04:39,839 –> 00:04:45,739Judas defected. The disciples ran for their lives in the Garden of Gethsemane.5200:04:45,739 –> 00:04:52,320Jesus was taken out to Calvary and crucified. Perhaps the disciples were5300:04:52,320 –> 00:04:56,320looking for a miracle to happen, even while He was hanging on the cross, for5400:04:56,320 –> 00:05:02,200God to intervene in some way and deliver Him, but it never happened. And they had5500:05:02,260 –> 00:05:06,760to stand there, while in the middle of the day darkness covered the land. Not5600:05:06,760 –> 00:05:14,200light from heaven, darkness. Then they had to hear the one in whom they had put5700:05:14,200 –> 00:05:22,600their trust say, my God, my God, why have you forsaken me? You imagine hearing the5800:05:22,600 –> 00:05:27,940One in whom you’ve put your trust say that. If God’s forsaken Him, where does5900:05:27,940 –> 00:05:38,160that leave me? Then they hear Him say, I thirst. As this is the one who has said6000:05:38,160 –> 00:05:42,519to the woman at the well, anyone who drinks of the water that I can give will6100:05:42,519 –> 00:05:51,980never thirst again. That’s what He said, and now He says, I thirst. Then He says,6200:05:52,000 –> 00:06:00,040it is finished. And we know that to be a great cry of triumph, but if you had been6300:06:00,040 –> 00:06:03,420one of the disciples standing at the bottom of the Cross and looking up to6400:06:03,420 –> 00:06:06,799Jesus, you wouldn’t have heard it that way, you would have said, that’s right it’s6500:06:06,799 –> 00:06:18,480finished. They hear him turn to John and commend the care of His mother to John6600:06:18,540 –> 00:06:28,140and says to his mother that John’s going to be like a son to her. He’s bowing out,6700:06:28,140 –> 00:06:38,500he’s gone, then he says, Father into Your hand I commit my spirit. He breathing6800:06:38,500 –> 00:06:44,660his last, then his lifeless bodies taken down from the cross the corpse becomes6900:06:44,660 –> 00:06:52,679cold, rigor mortis sits in, the body is laid in a tomb, and everything they had7000:06:52,679 –> 00:06:57,679lived for is utterly destroyed. Every word of Jesus seems to have fallen to7100:06:57,679 –> 00:07:02,399the floor. Everything in which they have put the whole trust and center of their7200:07:02,399 –> 00:07:12,320lives has imploded on them. And that was two days ago, and now Jesus is standing7300:07:12,399 –> 00:07:18,959right in front of them, and he’s showing them his hands and his feet, and Luke7400:07:18,959 –> 00:07:28,619tells us that they did not believe because of joy and amazement. After all7500:07:28,619 –> 00:07:36,619the devastation of seeing him on the cross, they hardly dared to believe that7600:07:37,140 –> 00:07:44,500this incredible miracle, which if it were true, would transform everything for them,7700:07:44,500 –> 00:07:53,220could actually have happened. Some years ago I had a most unfortunate experience7800:07:53,220 –> 00:08:03,179with a dentist. It was in England, so I don’t want you to worry, but he was7900:08:03,380 –> 00:08:10,619working away towards the back of my mouth, and his drill slipped, and he drilled a8000:08:10,619 –> 00:08:19,660hole in my tongue. And it’s a painful experience for a preacher to have a8100:08:19,660 –> 00:08:26,679stitched tongue, but that was how it was. Shortly after that we came over here, do8200:08:26,679 –> 00:08:37,340you know? No, that wasn’t the reason! Do you know it took me a long time to go8300:08:37,340 –> 00:08:40,880and visit the dentist for the first time after we came here.8400:08:40,880 –> 00:08:44,659And Carroll said to me, you really ought to go and see the dentist, he is very good.8500:08:44,659 –> 00:08:49,080I said, well you know, I’ll maybe go next month.8600:08:49,880 –> 00:09:01,320Painful experiences make it very, very hard to trust. Once bitten, twice shy, or8700:09:01,320 –> 00:09:05,200let’s take a more serious example. Consider a woman, let’s call her8800:09:05,200 –> 00:09:09,799Kathryn. She’s very attractive, she has a gentle personality. A guy called Steve8900:09:09,799 –> 00:09:13,760calls her for a date over a period of three months they become very close.9000:09:13,760 –> 00:09:18,520He loves her he says, he’s very kind to her, he wins her trust, and gradually9100:09:19,179 –> 00:09:25,760he begins to change. He undermines her confidence. He abuses Kathryn’s trust.9200:09:25,880 –> 00:09:30,719And she feels trapped because Steve is a powerful person. And she does not feel9300:09:30,719 –> 00:09:34,760that she can get free from him. Beside their lives have become interlocked.9400:09:34,760 –> 00:09:39,260So she wonders if maybe the problems are all her fault anyway. Finally she gets9500:09:39,260 –> 00:09:43,880free from him. And it’s an enormous relief. And she looks back and she says9600:09:43,880 –> 00:09:49,559that was oppressive. That was a terrible terrible thing. That was five9700:09:49,559 –> 00:09:57,479years ago. Now there is another man who is truly in love with her. He is9800:09:57,479 –> 00:10:01,500everything that she would look for in a man. But after her last experience she9900:10:01,500 –> 00:10:10,200holds back. The offer of his love seems too good to be true.10000:10:10,479 –> 00:10:18,080It won’t work for me, she says. Painful experiences make it hard to trust.10100:10:18,080 –> 00:10:23,619Imagine yourself at the edge of a river that you have to cross. You can’t cross10200:10:23,619 –> 00:10:29,659it in one step but above there is a ball of a tree that you can easily grasp.10300:10:29,659 –> 00:10:36,359There’s only one problem. You have a great painful gash in your hand. The10400:10:36,359 –> 00:10:41,320problem is not in the strength of the tree. The problem in you laying hold of10500:10:41,320 –> 00:10:45,880it lies in the pain that has been previously inflicted on your hand. You10600:10:45,880 –> 00:10:52,080say I can’t grasp it. I can’t grasp it. Someone says you must. You say I can’t.10700:10:52,080 –> 00:10:58,900That’s where the disciples were. They saw Jesus and for him to be alive was the10800:10:58,900 –> 00:11:03,679one thing they wanted more than anything else in all the world but the pain that10900:11:03,679 –> 00:11:09,219they had been through in these last few days was so deep within them and they11000:11:09,219 –> 00:11:14,219wanted it to be true so badly that they darren’t, darren’t, daran’t let go and11100:11:14,219 –> 00:11:21,559believe. The defense mechanisms kick in. Don’t set yourself up for more pain11200:11:21,559 –> 00:11:26,179you’ve been disappointed before. They did not believe because of joy and11300:11:26,179 –> 00:11:32,299amazement it just seemed too good to be true.11400:11:32,659 –> 00:11:35,979You’re listening to Open the Bible with Pastor Colin Smith and we’re going to11500:11:35,979 –> 00:11:39,940pause our message there briefly but we’ll be back shortly. The message is11600:11:39,940 –> 00:11:44,299called Daring to Believe and it’s part of our series called listener favourites11700:11:44,299 –> 00:11:49,6792025 in which we take the most popular and requested programmes from the past11800:11:49,679 –> 00:11:53,78012 months and bundle them all together. If you’ve missed any of the series don’t11900:11:53,780 –> 00:11:58,219forget you can always come online and go back and listen again at12000:11:58,299 –> 00:12:01,140www.openthebible.org.uk.12100:12:01,140 –> 00:12:03,419Back to the message now, here’s Colin.12200:12:03,419 –> 00:12:09,340Now I am convinced that the pain of life and perhaps in some cases the12300:12:09,340 –> 00:12:17,059disappointment of religion has led many to conclude that the Gospel is simply12400:12:17,059 –> 00:12:22,599too good to be true. And so we hear it from the pulpit and we become used12500:12:23,440 –> 00:12:29,200to it but we hear it like we hear the adverts, with great caution, and the joy12600:12:29,200 –> 00:12:35,840of the Gospel remains beyond our grasp because our wounded hands are too tender12700:12:35,840 –> 00:12:41,080to grasp. Now that’s where the disciples were.12800:12:41,080 –> 00:12:47,119They’d love to think it was true, but they said we didn’t believe it.12900:12:47,119 –> 00:12:50,440Too good to be true.13000:12:50,919 –> 00:13:00,799Now what can you do about that position? So you get to this point in a message13100:13:00,799 –> 00:13:04,280when you’re preparing it and you start searching the passage and say well what13200:13:04,280 –> 00:13:09,599did they do about it because what they did about it is what you can do about it13300:13:09,599 –> 00:13:14,239and you see what they did about I can’t find anything that they did about it do13400:13:14,799 –> 00:13:23,359but I find something that Jesus did about it. Look at it there13500:13:23,359 –> 00:13:34,2191st 45 he opened their minds so that they could understand the scriptures. See13600:13:34,219 –> 00:13:37,260were these good folks who had a Bible they understood many things they knew13700:13:37,260 –> 00:13:43,780the Ten Commandments and all that stuff but they’d never really grasped the13800:13:43,780 –> 00:13:50,200wonder and the glory of what it was the God was doing for them in Jesus Christ13900:13:50,200 –> 00:13:54,940that’s why I’ve called our prescription today waiting on God because the14000:13:54,940 –> 00:14:02,119courage to believe is a gift from God due faith is not forced from within you14100:14:02,119 –> 00:14:07,539come and you ask God for it and he gives it to you and the way he gives it to you14200:14:07,539 –> 00:14:12,880is as he opens your eyes to understand what he’s already revealed in the14300:14:12,919 –> 00:14:17,080Scripture you can come to him today you can come to him right now you can say oh14400:14:17,080 –> 00:14:21,820Lord open my eyes I’m one of these folks who stands back because I feel like it’s14500:14:21,820 –> 00:14:30,280too good to be true open my eyes and help me to believe put me in the14600:14:30,280 –> 00:14:34,539position where I could say amazing grace how sweet the sand the same direction14700:14:34,539 –> 00:14:42,200like me I once was lost but now I’m found I was blind but now I see14800:14:42,239 –> 00:14:51,280Jesus opened their minds so that they understood the heart of the gospel for14900:14:51,280 –> 00:14:56,200the very first time and my prayer is that in the very last moments now of15000:14:56,200 –> 00:15:03,440this series that God would do precisely that as we look at what Jesus said in15100:15:03,440 –> 00:15:09,659just a few brief moments together he told them verse 46 this is what is15200:15:09,659 –> 00:15:13,840written the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and then15300:15:13,840 –> 00:15:19,280he goes on to spell out what it means for them he speaks first verse 47 about15400:15:19,280 –> 00:15:29,479repentance that means real change from the inside if Jesus is alive then it15500:15:29,479 –> 00:15:37,260really is possible for you to change he changed a mean selfish twisted tax15600:15:37,960 –> 00:15:43,979and made him a generous giver that’s a miracle he did that he took a man who’d15700:15:43,979 –> 00:15:46,820been religious all his life but never entered into a personal relationship15800:15:46,820 –> 00:15:51,760with God and brought him into a new birth that’s a miracle15900:15:51,760 –> 00:15:59,080Jesus did that.
