Hope Revived By the Word of God

Date: 4/26/06
Text: Luke 24:13-31
Title: Hope Revived By the Word of God

• The Book of Luke


• Luke's writings are the most literary of the New Testament books


• Luke is the only Gospel write who wrote a sequel, Acts, which tells the story of the early church


• Luke's account is developed through what we call "investigative reporting"

• Without hope life is hard.

• Jesus had a post resurrection appearance


• Two men were walking. They were talking about Jesus. Jesus shows up in His glorified body. Once they recognized who Jesus was, Jesus disappeared.


• Knowing that Jesus was alive gives us hope

• God does what only He can do


• God expects us to do what we can do

NOTE: Jesus started in Genesis and went through all of the books.
Our hope is renewed by the Word of God!

My Personal Notes:
Lord, help me to realize that because You were resurrected, that I have hope.

My Personal Prayer:
Lord, thank You for dying for me. Most importantly, thank You for rising up from the grave. Help me to appreciate Your resurrection.

Scripture: Luke 24:13-31
13: And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.
14: And they talked together of all these things which had happened.
15: And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16: But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17: And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18: And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
19: And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:
20: And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21: But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.
22: Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23: And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.
24: And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
25: Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26: Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27: And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28: And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29: But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30: And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31: And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
