-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --

The resurrection marked a new day in the Kingdom of heaven and it’s impact on earth.

Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. Matthew 28:5-6 NLT

A meeting with the elders was called, and they decided to give the soldiers a large bribe. They told the soldiers, “You must say, ‘Jesus’ disciples came during the night while we were sleeping, and they stole his body.’ If the governor hears about it, we’ll stand up for you so you won’t get in trouble.” So the guards accepted the bribe and said what they were told to say. Their story spread widely among the Jews, and they still tell it today. Matthew 28:12-15 NLT

Denying God’s presence and authority won’t diminish Him, but it will destroy you.

I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his side.” John 20:25 NLT

It’s not our circumstances that will determine whether we recognize and follow Jesus or not, but the condition of our hearts that make the difference.

Plow up the hard (Fallow) ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you. Hosea 10:12 NLT

same day two of them were walking to the village, about seven miles out of Jerusalem. They were deep in conversation, going over all these things that had happened. In the middle of their talk and questions, Jesus came up and walked along with them. But they were not able to recognize who he was. Luke 24:13-16 MSG

Difficulty is a great canvas for God’s masterpiece of redemption.

He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stopped short, sadness written across their faces. Luke 24:17 NLT

We all have moments, days, even seasons of despair, but Jesus is faithful to walk with us when we do.

Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, “You must be the only person in Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened there the last few days.” Luke 24:18 NLT

Don’t get yourself confused with God - Smith Wigglesworth

Hope is a head turner meant to draw our attention to Jesus.

Then he said to them, “So thick-headed! So slow-hearted! Why can’t you simply believe all that the prophets said? Don’t you see that these things had to happen, that the Messiah had to suffer and only then enter into his glory?” Then he started at the beginning, with the Books of Moses, and went on through all the Prophets, pointing out everything in the Scriptures that referred to him. Luke 24:25-27 MSG

They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as he talked with us on the road. Luke 24:32 NLT

We all have a road to walk, but it’s not a road we will ever have to walk alone!
