Hi GAMErs,<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s passage is Luke 24:30-43. Let\u2019s go!<\/p>\n

Luke 24:30-35 (NIV)\u00a0<\/strong>
\n30 \u00a0When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them.
\n31 \u00a0Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight.
\n32 \u00a0They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”
\n33 \u00a0They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together
\n34 \u00a0and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.”
\n35 \u00a0Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 30-35: These two disciples recognized it was Jesus not when he was teaching Scripture but rather when they saw Jesus breaking bread and giving thanks (v30-31, 35). I believe there is a lesson for us as followers of Jesus: we help people see who Jesus is not just by teaching the Scriptures, but by the way we do life and give thanks.<\/p>\n

May you be a great representative of Jesus. May others recognize the presence of Jesus when they spend time with you, break bread with you, see the way you live and listen to the thankful and gracious words coming from your lips.<\/p>\n

Luke 24:36-43 (NIV)<\/strong>
\n36 \u00a0While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”
\n37 \u00a0They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost.
\n38 \u00a0He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts\u00a0<\/em>rise<\/em>\u00a0in your minds?
\n39 \u00a0Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself! Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see I have.”
\n40 \u00a0When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
\n41 \u00a0And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?”
\n42 \u00a0They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
\n43 \u00a0and he took it and ate it in their presence.<\/em><\/p>\n

On verses 36-43: This passage is one of a number of passages which show that when Jesus resurrected, Jesus didn\u2019t appear as merely a ghost or a vision. Rather after his death Jesus appeared physically alive in the flesh \u2013 breathing, healthy, eating, physically touching his disciples. Jesus didn\u2019t simply \u201crise in our hearts\u201d. Jesus physically rose from the grave. Jesus is risen!<\/p>\n

Lord Jesus, since You are risen and alive, may I spend this life pointing the people around me to the irreplaceable and priceless hope we have in You. In Jesus\u2019 name, AMEN!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
