Luke 24:36-53
The disciples:
• were startled (v 37)
• were frightened (v 37)
• thought they saw a spirit (v 37)
• were troubled (v 38)
• had hearts of doubt (v 38)
• still disbelieved (v 41)
Anyone frightened? Troubled? Doubtful?
As we close out (can you even believe it) our study of Luke – I am reminded of the humanity of the disciples.
They had heard all the sermons.
They had seen all the miracles.
They had walked with Jesus down dusty roads.
And yet – here, at the end – they were frightened, troubled, and doubtful.
And – as we learned earlier this week – Jesus is a gentle Savior.
Jesus:
• stood among them (v 36)
• spoke to them (v 36)
• showed his wounds (v 40)
• opened their minds to understand the Scriptures (v 45)
• led them and blessed them (v 50)
👉 If you have ever wanted to go deeper with your Bible study – ask Jesus to open your mind to understand the Scriptures.
Luke closed his gospel right where he began – in the temple. It’s a beautiful reminder that everything begins and ends with worship.
[Thank you to all who have looked at Luke with me since we began in November!]
Where will we go next? Stay tuned!
You are loved.
