Luke 24

Commentary

Luke 24 is a powerful chapter that speaks to the power of faith and the importance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It begins with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, who were discussing the events of the past few days. They were discussing the crucifixion of Jesus and the reports of his resurrection. As they walked, Jesus himself joined them, but they did not recognize him. Jesus then began to explain to them the prophecies of the Old Testament that spoke of his death and resurrection. He then opened their eyes to the truth of his identity and they immediately recognized him. The chapter then moves to the disciples in Jerusalem, who were gathered together in fear and confusion. Jesus appears to them and offers them peace and reassurance. He then shows them his hands and feet, proving that he is indeed alive. The disciples are filled with joy and amazement at this miracle. The chapter ends with Jesus giving the disciples the Great Commission, to go out and spread the good news of the gospel to all nations. This is a powerful reminder of the importance of faith and the power of the resurrection. It is a reminder that Jesus is alive and that his death and resurrection have made a way for us to be reconciled to God.
