Jesus's Story Is NOT OVER!

Luke 24:32-35
"32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how He was known of them in breaking of bread."

The world needs to know!
Cleopas and one other unnamed Disciple on the road to Emmaus had a close encounter with the Resurrected Jesus!!! In today's verses they returned to Jerusalem to report these events to the Disciples there!! They are confirming that Jesus is BACK!

Most of the time Jesus was with the two in Emmaus they did NOT recognize Him. It wasn't until He blessed and broke the bread they were sharing that they realized this is Jesus.  And, then He disappeared!

Before this Jesus taught them another time; about Moses and ALL the PROPHETS, and how ALL the SCRIPTURES teach about Him. He had taught them prophetic words about His own suffering and death, as well as His sovereignty and triumph. He gave them all the information again. They will need to retell this information again and again. Jesus wants them to practice and become comfortable and competent in telling these events. And retelling these events. 

Jesus wants the same for you and me. Start with the Holy Bible and quote John 3:16. God's Son was sent for YOU. This is our starting place. From there we need to grow our "elevator speech." And be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks. Jesus's story is NOT over! It doesn't end with Easter! His story continues through all time and will not END but will go on for all eternity!!! Won't you join us in heaven with our LORD and SAVIOR?
Accept Him in your heart. 
Follow Jesus. 
Amen.

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
