Walking with Jesus After Easter
(Luke 24:13-35)
For bulletin in PDF form click here.
Introduction: Easter Expectations
Jesus Joins the Journey: (24:13-35)
An encounter with the resurrected Jesus
can turn a journey of despair into a journey of joy.
Life as a Disciple: (24:16, 31)
Sight is prevented in the darkness
to grow our trust.
Life as a Disciple: (24:17-27)
Our dim vision of life is clarified
when we see everything as a part of God's plan
to glorify Jesus through suffering.
It's all about Relationship: (24:28-31)
Understanding the facts about Jesus
is a foundation for knowing Jesus.
Victory out of the Grave: (24:32)
Often the supposed ruin of our hopes
is actually the fulfillment of them.
The Pattern: (24:32)
Jesus' strategy is to reveal Himself in Scripture
because we often learn best in retrospect.
True Witnesses: (24:33-35)
Opened eyes and burning hearts
should lead to open mouths as witnesses.
Following Jesus after the Resurrection involves
Glimpses of Jesus,
Authenticity in community and
Time in Scripture
Next Steps
• I will invite Jesus to join me on the journey by placing my faith in Him and His finished work on the cross, validated by the resurrection.
• I will look for the hidden hand of God in my life this week.
• I will commit to a regular encounter with the Word in community.
• I will pray for boldness/passion in my witness.
