This is the word of God for you, the people of God. Thanks be to God. College was a fruitful season of community in my life. I attended undergrad close to my hometown at Arizona State University. So sorry to the University of Arizona fans in the room, Jesse, Darby, if you're here, if you're watching later. I'm sorry. But because I didn't venture far from home, I grew up nearby, I was able to stay closely connected to my family, my friends from high school, and my local spiritual community, the place where I had grown to know Jesus. I was a volunteer leader with a youth ministry that I had been involved with as a high school student when I was a teenager. And from a spiritual perspective, though, the place, the location of richest growth in my life was the back porch of one of my mentors, a guy named Mark. Mark hosted a small group Bible study every Thursday night. He was an elder in my community, and he delighted in having younger folks over to his place to study scripture. …
… that we thought he would be the one, but he was crucified. He died. The part that gets me is when they say, but some women have astounded us. They were at the tomb this morning. They saw that his body wasn't there. In fact, angels appeared to them. Then some of our group went there. They also didn't see his body. They said he resurrected. And I pause on this and say, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, you know? Like, it wasn't like they left before the women returned from the tomb. It wasn't like they left before Peter and John came back from the tomb. They had been told, this is the thing, they knew. They knew that Jesus had risen from the dead. Here's the question. If they knew, why are they walking seven miles? If they knew why are they leaving? And the text even says it. Jesus shows up and it said they stopped looking downcast. What are you talking about? We're talking about Jesus the Nazarene. …
but after jesus was resurrected from the dead on the day he got up from the grave he did something so strange and i want to share it with you today it's found in luke chapter 24 verse 13 through 35 we won't read all of that if you're doing the math we won't read all of that but i wanted to give you the homework as well because when the sermon is over then you can begin to live it out. Luke chapter 24, verse 13. And if you haven't found it by now, we're just going to do it on the screen. The Bible says, now that same day, two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. And as they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them. Tell your neighbor, you can't see him, but he's with me. Come on, tell them again. …
