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.

Elisha’s example

1 Kings 19:19-21 "19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him. 20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said unto him, Go back again: for what have I done to thee? 21 And he returned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen, and slew them, and boiled their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gave unto the people, and they did eat. Then he arose, and went after Elijah, and ministered unto him." In Luke 9:54, after James and John sought to call down fire on a Samaritan village that rejected Jesus, they referenced Elijah, saying, “even as Elias did?” Jesus then taught three lessons about rejection: 1- Discipleship demands sacrifice, embracing hardship and forgoing earthly security. 2- Following Jesus requires immediate, un...

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!
