Luke 24:13ff
“He isn’t here! He is
risen from the dead!”
Luke 24:6
By Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth,
visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities—all things have been created through Him and for
Him. Colossians 1:16
If Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless,
and your faith is useless. And we apostles would all be lying
about God—for we have said that God raised Christ from the
grave. But that can’t be true if there is no resurrection of the
dead. 1 Corinthians 15:14-15

While Peter and John were speaking to the people, they were
confronted by the priests, the captain of the Temple guard, and some
of the Sadducees. These leaders were very disturbed that Peter and
John were teaching the people that through Jesus there is a
resurrection of the dead. They arrested them and, since it was
already evening, put them in jail until morning. Acts 4:1-3

"If the world hates you, you know that it
has hated Me before it hated you. John 15:18
That same day two of Jesus’ followers were
walking to the village of Emmaus, seven miles
from Jerusalem. As they walked along they were
talking about everything that had happened. As
they talked and discussed these things, Jesus
himself suddenly came and began walking with
them. But God kept them from recognizing him.
Luke 24:13-16
He asked them, “What are you
discussing so intently as you walk
along?”
They stopped short, sadness written
across their faces. Luke 24:17

“What things?” Jesus asked.
“The things that happened to Jesus, the man from
Nazareth,” they said. “He was a prophet who did
powerful miracles, and he was a mighty teacher in
the eyes of God and all the people. But our leading
priests and other religious leaders handed him over
to be condemned to death, and they crucified him.
We had hoped he was the Messiah who had come
to rescue Israel. This all happened three days ago.

There they found the eleven disciples and the
others who had gathered with them, who said,
“The Lord has really risen! He appeared to Peter.”

“Some of those who were with us went to the tomb
and found it just exactly as the women also had
said; but Him they did not see.” Luke 24:24
Disappointed only because they never understood
God was doing something even better.
We think we know how things should unfold, but God
has a better plan.

"Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and to enter into His glory?" Then beginning with
Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.

Your spiritual temperature indicates your
spiritual health: either cold, lukewarm or hot.

Cold: like stone, like ice: unresponsive to God’s
Word. Nothing affects you. A signs of the End
Times: “Love will grow cold.”

Lukewarm: nothing worse. Who likes lukewarm
milk? Rev.3:15 “Spew you…” BARF. I hate to
throw up, but some are better than others. My
wife goes “blip”. Sean growls like a lion. He was
saying this to people “in the church” – not
actually members of the BOC. “I

kids. Someone sitting in a bar nursing a beer is
closer to the KOG than some sitting here (because
you’ve been raised in the church, you’ve heard it
all, you’ve been inoculated against the gospel).

Maybe God is challenging your views and your

He’s calling for you to open up, quit wrestling
