The Gospel of Luke: Week 13 - The Crucifixion & Resurrection of Jesus

Discussion Questions: Which women were the first to approach the tomb & not find Jesus? Who spoke to them there? Which apostle had to see for himself?Why could the “Emmaus Disciples” not recognize Jesus? Why do you think this is?Jesus tells his disciples to stay in the city until they are “empowered from on high." What do you think Jesus means here? (Hint: Acts 1) After Jesus ascended into heaven, how did the disciples respond?On Your Own: “When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”-‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:30-32‬ ‭NIV‬‬Notice this question, “were not our hearts burning within us when he talked with us?” How often do we miss Jesus right in front of us? His miracles, His mercy, His kindness and grace. He’s left us so much through His Word so that we might seek Him, know Him, and receive His gift of salvation. And it doesn’t end there either, He gives us the gift of His presence through His Holy Spirit (which you can read more about in Acts!). Invite Him today to know you more deeply, for Him to revive you in His presence, and for us to see all things in the light of His glory and grace as we keep our eyes on our Savior, King Jesus!
