"Well, I want to tell you today that when man was at its worst, God was at its best. God would at work. at his very best. That was God's plan. Sins had to be atoned for. That's the reason for the cross." [01:01:09] (26 seconds)
"But I want to tell you, the cross was not a demolition project. But it was a construction zone. For what Satan had intended for evil, God intended for good. And you know what? I think he did that on purpose." [01:02:58] (23 seconds)
"Jesus would say, on that last day, and lo, I am with you always. When Jesus was born, His name was called Emmanuel, God with us. Even in our most confused, even in our most dejected times of life, God is with them. And He's always knocking at our door." [01:05:06] (24 seconds)
"And it is a picture of Jesus knocking at the door. And it's reflective of a belief that we have that Jesus is always there. Jesus is knocking at the door of our lives. There for us. Even when we're like these two on the road to Emmaus, when our heart seems so lost, we seem so despondent." [01:05:28] (25 seconds)
"Suddenly, in that moment of despair, suddenly it dawned on them that Jesus was present in their life. Suddenly, they had this image that was right there in front of them. That Jesus was still present." [01:09:23] (19 seconds)
"I cannot help but think that for us these words are as impactful today as at any time. Because you turn the television on, you read the newspaper, you check the internet, despair is scattered all over everywhere." [01:10:39] (28 seconds)
"When the trial came, and Timothy McVeigh came to be tried, we're reminded of the verse that said in Scripture, the Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and every inclination of the thoughts of his human heart were only evil all the time." [00:53:37] (33 seconds)
"Now, our story tells us that Jesus joined them. And he walked with them. But it also tells us this. They didn't know him. They didn't know who he was. They were kept, as it says. Kept from understanding him. Kept from realizing who it was. But he walked with them. They were downcast. And he asked them what was going on. And they seemed incredulous." [00:59:23] (39 seconds)
"First, are we going to let Jesus come into our lives and he's going to act like the host in our life? Are we going to let him in all the places? In all the closets? In the attic? In the basement? In the places that we want to keep hidden?" [01:08:00] (20 seconds)
"Because it tells us that when Jesus came and started talking with those two on the road to Emmaus, they kept talking about sin and death, talked about a guilt offering, talked about a sacrifice that had to be made." [01:03:20] (16 seconds)
