The End of the Story (Luke 24)

Welcome to the Reformed University Fellowship at UNCW Podcast! Each week, we will post the messages from our RUF Large Group meetings at UNCW. This semester, we are looking at the big storyline of redemption that is laid out for us in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. In this week's message, we look at Jesus' resurrection appearance to two of his disciples in Luke 24:13-35 and what this passage tells us about how to understand both the story of our lives and the story of the biblical narrative. Luke wants his readers (and us!) to know that we can only make sense of our lives in and through the life of the resurrected Son of God, Jesus the Messiah. "The way we understand human life depends on this question: What is the real story of which my life story is part?” - Lesslie Newbigin “The resurrection means not merely that Christians have a hope for the future but that they have a hope that comes from the future. The Bible’s startling message is that when Jesus rose, he brought the future kingdom of God into the present … In the resurrection we have the presence of the future. The power by which God will finally destroy all suffering, evil, deformity, and death at the end of time has broken into history now and is available—partially but substantially—now. When we unite with the risen Christ by faith, that future power that is potent enough to remake the universe comes into us.”— Tim Keller
