Confusion on the Road of Emmaus, 12/30/2007

Summary

The sermon explores the confusion of the two disciples on the road to Emmaus who misunderstood the nature of the kingdom of God, expecting a literal, earthly kingdom rather than a spiritual one. It emphasizes that the kingdom of God is within believers, a spiritual reality rather than a physical nation. The preacher also discusses the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in Christ and the significance of His one perfect sacrifice, contrasting it with the old covenant sacrifices. The message concludes by affirming that Christ has been reigning spiritually for over two thousand years and that the kingdom is present among His people today.
