'Jesus Resurrected'
  
Scripture text: Luke 24: 1-32   (ESV)


This radio talk was first given as a much longer sermon at Church of the Messiah where I serve as Pastor. It was part of a sermon series through all of the Gospel of Luke entitled, "Luke: Jesus For Pagans And Skeptics."

1. Everyone, even His closest disciples, thought that Jesus was discredited and dead - and that He would stay discredited and dead.

2. Luke is saying that what happened to Jesus is as real as your bank records, the NBA Finals stats and the list of Canada's Prime Ministers.

3. Luke tells the good news that Jesus died on a Friday and that the grave was empty on the Sunday, because Jesus had been raised and vindicated by God the Father.

4. Jesus is not an illustration of what happens to everyone because they are human. He is God's promised power of salvation to everyone who believes in Him.

5. Jesus is the same person on Easter Sunday as He was on Good Friday, but now He is resurrected with a resurrected body.

6. Jesus teaches that His betrayal, crucifixion, death, resurrection and glorification are seen in all of the Bible; that is what the Bible is all about.

7. Dear God, please grow in me a humble trusting, walking, knowing of the greatness, glory and grace of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, crucified and risen.
