Hey, in this episode, one of the things that I want to look at is finding Jesus in the Old Testament.

If you ever get stuck in First and Second Kings and First and Second Chronicles, okay, why is that there?

It's there because the entire story of the Old Testament is asking the question, where is the coming king?

And to understand that grand theme, I want to take you to a conversation that takes place on Easter morning. Even in light of the Christmas season, you will never be able to understand Christmas until you understand this conversation that takes place with Jesus and two men that are on a seven-mile journey from Eumaeus to Jerusalem. And if I had to go to any spot in the scripture, and I could have been there. It would have been this conversation. I want to immerse us into the story. Hank, how we doing? I've been better, Johnny. Are you talking about the bears? Obviously, you're dressed in black. It is a day of

morning. Lost to the Green Bay Packers. You guys can be praying for us. This is a road I've been down

many times before. This episode is called Where is God? Dash Topes. All jokes aside, good to have you

You know, one of the things I love about the Bible is that the scripture itself is not just propositional truth for us to live our life by, which it contains, but it is the grandest story of all.

Meaning that's why when I'm preaching, I don't just say, hey, the context here is this, even though that's not wrong. I want to immerse us into the story. Well, in this, growing up in the church for many people, it can feel like the Bible is a bunch of unique stories. But the point you're making is, no, it's an archetypal

story, meaning all those stories tie into one grand, amazing story. And maybe not hyperbole to say,

it's the story on which all other stories are then told. It's built off this amazing saga that we get to

pick up. Yeah, understanding and knowing the grand theme of the Bible is thrilling.

And this is what would make you as a parent or anybody else single, young man, old man,

doesn't matter, go, man, the Bible is one cohesive book.

Yes, there are 66 books.

We'll talk about this more.

But it all points to one grand theme.

And to understand that grand theme, I want to take you to a conversation that takes place on Easter morning.

Even in light of the Christmas season, you will never be able to understand Christmas

until you understand this conversation that takes place with Jesus and two men on the morning of Easter.

We find it in Luke 24, 13 through 17 for me? Absolutely. And it begins,

and behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Amas, which was about a seven

mile walk from Jerusalem. And they were talking with each other about all these things which had
