[3597.24 --> 3598.10] counter to that, |
[3598.16 --> 3599.28] there is a whole field |
[3599.28 --> 3599.90] of study |
[3599.90 --> 3601.20] that looks at |
[3601.20 --> 3601.96] what it takes |
[3601.96 --> 3602.92] for a myth |
[3602.92 --> 3603.54] to develop |
[3603.54 --> 3604.28] or what it takes |
[3604.28 --> 3605.38] for a story |
[3605.38 --> 3606.02] like this |
[3606.02 --> 3607.04] to become |
[3607.04 --> 3608.04] enculturated |
[3608.04 --> 3609.60] if it is not true. |
[3611.36 --> 3612.50] One of the qualifiers |
[3612.50 --> 3613.36] to discern |
[3613.36 --> 3614.54] between a true story |
[3614.54 --> 3615.52] and a myth |
[3615.52 --> 3617.84] are precise details |
[3617.84 --> 3619.22] revealed in the telling |
[3619.22 --> 3619.68] of the story. |
[3619.68 --> 3620.48] So let me ask you |
[3620.48 --> 3620.82] a question |
[3620.82 --> 3622.06] just by way of comparison. |
[3622.62 --> 3623.22] For those of you |
[3623.22 --> 3624.02] sitting here this morning, |
[3624.36 --> 3625.60] in the story |
[3625.60 --> 3626.92] of Little Red Riding Hood, |
[3627.54 --> 3628.70] she's going to visit Grandma. |
[3628.70 --> 3630.26] how many miles |
[3630.26 --> 3631.06] on the road |
[3631.06 --> 3632.24] from her house |
[3632.24 --> 3632.96] to Grandma's house? |
[3636.32 --> 3637.24] Nobody knows |
[3637.24 --> 3639.10] because it doesn't matter. |
[3640.00 --> 3640.48] Right? |
[3640.52 --> 3641.84] It's not a true story |
[3641.84 --> 3642.98] and so however many miles |
[3642.98 --> 3643.56] there are, |
[3643.68 --> 3644.62] it doesn't matter. |
[3644.98 --> 3645.40] And yet, |
[3645.58 --> 3647.26] look at verse 10. |
[3647.78 --> 3648.38] We'll start there. |
[3648.58 --> 3649.76] Verse 10 from Luke 24. |
[3650.10 --> 3651.18] It was Mary Magdalene, |
[3651.34 --> 3652.26] Joanna and Mary, |
[3652.36 --> 3653.06] the mother of James |
[3653.06 --> 3653.56] and the others |
[3653.56 --> 3654.18] who were with him. |
[3654.52 --> 3654.60] Right? |
[3655.02 --> 3655.98] Luke intentionally |
[3655.98 --> 3657.44] writes names in there. |
[3657.44 --> 3659.44] He gives specific details |
[3659.44 --> 3660.10] that if it was just |
[3660.10 --> 3660.70] a fake story, |
[3660.76 --> 3661.22] it wouldn't matter. |
[3661.28 --> 3662.34] But Luke is basically saying, |
[3662.66 --> 3663.18] these are the people |
[3663.18 --> 3663.74] who were there. |
[3664.28 --> 3664.80] Talk to them. |
[3664.90 --> 3666.06] Some of them are still alive. |
[3666.82 --> 3667.70] Check this out. |
[3668.38 --> 3668.52] Right? |
[3668.60 --> 3669.32] Verse 13. |
[3670.56 --> 3671.32] Now that same day, |
[3671.38 --> 3671.78] two of them |
[3671.78 --> 3672.64] were going to a village |
[3672.64 --> 3673.44] called Emmaus |
[3673.44 --> 3676.14] about seven miles |
[3676.14 --> 3677.50] from Jerusalem. |
[3678.72 --> 3679.82] Now why does that matter |
[3679.82 --> 3681.64] if it's not true? |
[3682.60 --> 3683.86] If Luke isn't saying, |
[3684.38 --> 3686.38] this story is historically situated, |
[3686.38 --> 3688.34] it actually happened. |
[3690.60 --> 3692.00] C.S. Lewis has a quote. |
[3692.10 --> 3693.80] Now if you don't know C.S. Lewis, |
[3693.88 --> 3694.50] what you need to know |
[3694.50 --> 3696.04] that C.S. Lewis is a Christian apologist, |
[3696.24 --> 3697.88] but his primary vocation |
[3697.88 --> 3699.32] was a fiction writer. |
[3699.42 --> 3700.30] His primary love |
[3700.30 --> 3702.30] was writing elaborate fantasy. |
[3703.16 --> 3703.24] Right? |
[3703.52 --> 3705.36] The Chronicles of Narnia series |
[3705.36 --> 3706.62] is a great example of that. |
[3707.02 --> 3707.76] There are others, |
[3707.90 --> 3708.44] countless others |
[3708.44 --> 3709.04] that he has written. |
[3709.38 --> 3710.48] And C.S. Lewis has this quote. |
[3710.52 --> 3711.48] I'm going to paraphrase it. |
[3712.20 --> 3712.92] He says that, |
[3712.92 --> 3714.50] when someone tells me |
[3714.50 --> 3715.50] that these stories, |
[3715.64 --> 3716.50] referring to the Gospels, |
[3716.60 --> 3717.82] are myths and legends, |
[3718.02 --> 3719.30] I like to ask them, |
[3719.88 --> 3720.74] how many stories |
[3720.74 --> 3721.54] of myths and legends |
[3721.54 --> 3722.20] have you read? |
[3722.56 --> 3723.20] And for how long |
