About this sermon
The Great Transition Luke 24:36–53 (ESV) We come to the final sermon in the final chapter in this journey through the Gospel According to Luke. 71 sermons total. Many of you have been here through most of them. Some of you have heard all 71. I trust it has been a worthwhile journey. It has made an impact on me personally, and I trust you as well. Verse 36 finds the disciples still in a state of confusion and bewilderment, cowering down behind locked doors trying to figure out exactly what happened to the body of Jesus. Jesus gave them a Great Confirmation, a Great Clarification and a Great Commission. Do you think that our church would be a better church if every single member was able to travel to Israel and walk where Jesus walked? Hypothetically, I would think so - that’s why we take those trips. What about this? Suppose we could all travel back in time and see all these things happen? Would we be more effective for the Gospel? What about this? Suppose Jesus physically came to church with us every single Sunday? Would you sing louder? I think I would preach better! Luke concludes with verse 52 - 52 And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple blessing God. Notice the massive shift in their attitude. From hiding in fear and confusion to returning to Jerusalem with GREAT JOY! Incidentally, the book of Acts concludes in a similar manner, after all that Paul suffered because of obediently preaching the Gospel - Acts 28:30–31 (ESV) 30 He lived there two whole years at his own expense, and welcomed all who came to him, 31 proclaiming the kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness and without hindrance. That is how I want my story to end - faithfully declaring the truth of the Gospel, with great joy, unhindered. That can be your story as well - but it begins with knowing the risen Christ by faith, receiving the person of the Holy Spirit, and faithfully setting out to make the Gospel known.
