Jesus’ disciples did not yet really understand who He was, and they never expected to see Him again after He died on the Roman cross (although He had told them again and again that He would rise on the third day). So it took some real proof for the disciples to realize and believe that Jesus was really alive. Once they became convinced, however, historians say that the disciples “turned the world upside down” by carrying the good news of Jesus’s life, death, and resurrection everywhere.
Our study this Sunday occured on the afternoon of the first Resurrection Sunday, as two of Jesus’s disciples travelled from Jerusalem to the small village of Emmaeus. They were sad because Jesus had died, and were trying to comfort one another. Jesus himself joined them and helped them to know for sure that He was alive again. These disciples were two of the more than 500 who were eye witnesses of Jesus after His death.
Join us this Sunday as we continue to celebrate Jesus’ new life, and His promise of the same kind of new life for those who believe in Him as Lord of their lives. This would be a great week to bring a friend with you!
Tom and Sydney Cook
