Pastor's Notes

​Trust Jesus, Trust the Bible, Tell Others!
Luke 24:25-27, 44-47
Intro
 
 
Trust Jesus = Trust the Bible
Jesus used the Old Testament to explain Himself
-vs 27-  the beginning with Moses and all the prophets
-vs 44  “the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms
 
Jesus used Himself to interpret the Scriptures
-vs 26  it was “necessary for the Messiah to suffer”
-vs 27  He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself
-vs 45  Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures
 
Jesus used “all the Scriptures”
-vs 27 “in all the Scriptures”
-He referred to all the sections of Scripture
-Peter, Stephen, Philip, Paul- they all used Scripture when preaching
-A faithful preacher will emphasize Scripture more than good stories
 
Jesus opened their minds to understand the Scriptures
-Jesus is ready to help anyone understand!
 
Jesus taught that the Old Testament was literally true
Stories Jesus taught as true
-Creation of Adam and Eve   Matthew 19:4;  Mark 10:6
-Noah and the flood     Luke 17:26-27
-Lot and the destruction of Sodom
    Luke 17:28-29
-Jonah’s three days in a huge fish
    Matthew 12:38-41
 
If you trust in Jesus, you have to trust the Bible!
-the integrity of both stand together
 
Jesus Is in Every Book of the Bible
Read descriptions of Jesus from every OT book
 
Tell Others!  “you will tell the nations”
Jesus is the hero of the Bible
-Every story and saying points to Jesus Christ
-Old Testament characters and events foreshadow the coming Christ
-We must use the Bible to tell people about Jesus
    -not just our own story of how He changed our lives
    -not just logical discussions about Jesus
    -We must depend on facts, not feelings
    -Acts 8:35  Philip used Isaiah and the OT
 
Jesus suffered and died
-There is a real penalty for our sins
-Jesus died in our place
 
 
Jesus rose from the dead on the third day
-His grave is empty- he really did come back to life
-Jesus proved he had the power to overcome sin and death
 
 
We must repent and receive forgiveness for our sins
-Everyone must repent or turn from rejecting Jesus
    -We reject Jesus when we reject the Bible
       -when we don’t obey what God says is right
 
-Everyone must receive forgiveness from Jesus
Acts 4:12  There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved
 
Trust Jesus!  Trust the Bible!  Tell Others!
