Who were you expecting? - 2nd Service

We gather this Easter Sunday morning to celebrate the phenomenon of the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! We believe that the Resurrection of Jesus is THE central truth of Christianity. Everything that we believe in stands or falls with it. Paul said that if Jesus had not been raised from the dead, then our faith is empty, we are still in our sins, and those who have died, believing in Him, are all perished! (cf. 1 Cor 15:12) 

There is no doubt that Jesus is risen, since the Bible records that hundreds of people saw Him and heard Him in the 40 days between His resurrection and His ascension to Heaven. The Lord made at least 10 appearances within those 40 days. The first to see Jesus Christ alive from the dead were a group of women on their way home from the empty tomb. The second appearance came shortly after that - to Mary Magdalene who had returned to the tomb to weep. This Easter I am going to look at the Lord's third appearance. This is the longest recorded of the appearances of Christ. I believe it is also most unique among all His post-resurrection appearances. It is unique because in this appearance He was walking and talking together with two discouraged disciples about 7 miles. You don’t have to go that far but I still recommend a good walk and times of fellowship. Sunday, come walk with me on the road to Emmaus – lets meet Jesus together – then go take a walk with someone and share your testimonies of faith and your blessings in Christ with another believer! 

Come walk with me this Easter Morning!
