Devotional: Luke 24:13-35

Today’s passage: Luke 24:13-35

Helpful thoughts:

  • These disciples, even after hearing the testimony of the empty grave, had relegated Jesus to the level of prophet, not Messiah.  They had hoped…
    • This testimony further affirms that the disciples did not steal the body, as the Jews declared (Matthew 28:11-15).
  • Jesus death and resurrection were not a change of plans.  Jesus did exactly what the Old Testament (“Moses and all the prophets”) taught He would do!
  • The women shared eye-witness testimony, Jesus instantaneously vanished before there eyes, and the thing that elicited awe from these men…the teaching/exposition of the Word of God.
    • Romans 10:17 – So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Questions to consider:

  1. What had to happen for these men to believe?  What did they hear?  Who opened their eyes?
  2. What was Jesus’ evangelism strategy?  What did He do first?  On what basis of authority did He share the message?
  3. Who could you pray for and share the Word of God with today, that their eyes might be opened in belief?
