The last three stories in the book of Luke all follow the same outline: confusion, rebuke, explanation and sharing. But this story seems to stop short of sharing. Does it break the pattern? No. It’s left unfinished so that you and I can take our place in the story and share repentance with the nations....

When Jesus appears to his disciples after his resurrection, he shows them physical evidence of his aliveness, he invites them to touch him, and he eats some food to prove he’s not a ghost. But he doesn’t stop there. He teaches them what the Bible says about the Messiah, setting God’s Word as the foundation of their faith....

The two travelers on the road to Emmaus had a long day–the early morning message from the women who went to the tomb, a seven mile walk to Emmaus, and an interrupted dinner.

The two travelers on the road to Emmaus don’t recognize Jesus until the end of their time with him. When they express their confusion over the events around his death, Jesus calls them “slow to believe.” They didn’t have a knowledge issue, or a memory issue. They had a belief issue....

After the resurrection, Jesus’ followers were trying to figure out what had happened. Jesus joins two of them on a journey but they don’t recognize him. As they try to talk it out and search for visible evidence, Jesus points them back to Scripture, revealing himself in every book....

There are many things we can learn about Jesus from the resurrection. This post focuses on two words: living and risen. It’s how the angels describe him. It’s what makes the difference for Peter (who ran to find him) and the women (who ran to tell others). And it’s what our salvation hinges upon....

After the women see the empty tomb and hear the message from the angels, they return to the disciples and tell them everything. But the disciples dismiss their words as nonsense.

Luke’s telling of the resurrection lacks the big reveal we would expect from such a huge moment. Instead of a blaze of glory, we see a stone rolled away from an empty tomb. But the emphasis is not on the physical evidence. It’s on remembering and believing Jesus’ words....
