EASTER SUNDAY

Pastor James Leads a special message in Luke 24:13-49 for Resurrection Sunday.

1. As these two disciples logically reasoned through the eyewitness reports of the empty tomb, they received clarity from the Lord Jesus through the Scriptures, and we too will gain understanding from the Lord as we sincerely contemplate the Word of God with genuine humility—“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.” Matthew 7:7-8

2. The two disciples recognized Jesus for who He is after partaking in intimate communion with the Lord which reminds us of the need to have daily fellowship with Christ, as it will help us grow us deeper in knowing Him—John declares in 1 John 1:3 “that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.”

3. Though Jesus revealed Himself physically to His disciples by inviting them to handle His resurrected body, we will know Jesus as our resurrected Lord and Savior by embracing the Word of God, through which He gives us understanding by the power of the Holy Spirit—“Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.” 1 Corinthians 2:12
