Worldviews of Our Day

28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going.

He acted as if he were going farther, 29 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.

30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him.

And he vanished from their sight.

32 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?” 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem.

And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.

13 That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14 and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.

15 While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them.

16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.

17 And he said to them, “What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?”

And they stood still, looking sad.

18 Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, “Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”

19 And he said to them, “What things?”

And they said to him, “Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him.

21 But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel.

Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.

22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us.

They were at the tomb early in the morning, 23 and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive.

24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see.” 25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?”

27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going.

He acted as if he were going farther, 29 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.

30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them.

31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him.

And he vanished from their sight.

32 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?” 33 And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem.

And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34 saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” 35 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---- Praise be to God

Worldviews of Our Day

Good morning!

We will be being in verses 13-35 this morning.

So if you want to turn there,

Let’s Pray...

Think about the “Culture Wars” of our day.

Many would say that these culture wars are between Christian and secular worldviews.

Or perhaps between a Judeo-Christian and post-christian worldviews.

What are the aspects that make up these distinct wars of worldviews.

We see the news reporting on a politician fighting for homosexual or transgender rights.

We see the people calling for open and free abortions and calling it women’s rights.

We see the breakdown of law and justice in our court and law enforcement systems as people are not afforded due process.

We look at this and see a crumbling social culture in America.

But, a worldview is more than just the ethical or moral aspect of our judgment.

The oxford dictionary defines a worldview as, “a person’s way of thinking about and understanding life, which depends on their beliefs and attitudes”.

A person’s moral compass AND future outlook on life comes from a persons worldview.

For example, an atheist believes that there is no God and that the universe has no purpose or plan.

That all of the universe is made up of only physical matter.

Therefore, an atheist is being consistent with his belief if he states there are no absolute moral standards.

(because there is no God THAT create for a purpose to have moral standards).

They would say that each person or culture can decide for themselves how they want to live.

The view of the future to an atheist would also be quite different from that of a Christian worldview.

Since there is no God, and human beings and everything else is only made up of physical matter, then there is no afterlife.

But we, as Christians, have different worldviews, of-course for the most part we all share the same moral or ethical principles.

But, how we react when something devastating happens or how we see the future reveals our worldview.

How do you look at the world around you? Does your worldview make you content or dissatisfied, hopeful or hopeless, optimistic or pessimistic?

The most influential aspect of a Christian’s worldview is his or her theology.

Theology is the study of God.

And since we are discussing Christian theology or learning about the Christian God we must look to the only infallible source by which God is revealed, the Scriptures, or the Bible.

However, there is even another principle that comes into play in shaping a Christian’s worldview.

And that is how we look at, understand or interpret the scriptures.

We must follow the pattern laid out for us in the scriptures themselves.

To Emmaus;

In our text this morning we see two of Christ disciples on a journey to the village of Emmaus.

The events of the previous week weighed heavily of their minds and even in their words.

As we’ll see, though we may be in saved and be a part of Christ’s covenant people, there can be unnecessary sorrow, pain, fear, discouragement, or unbiblical outlook on life if we have an incorrect interpretation of the scriptures, that leads to an erroneous theology and an unbiblical worldview.

To Emmaus :

These disciples were discouraged, broken, and seemingly defeated.
