Resurrected Hearts
April 13, 2009 · Filed Under Sermon Study Guides, Sermons
Luke 24:13-35
- Why do you think Luke includes this as one of his three accounts of Jesus appearances?
- Why do you think the men were kept from recognizing Jesus? Why do you think their “eyes were opened” when they were?
- What makes the Christian expectation or understanding of the role of messiah distinct from the Jewish expectation? (it might be helpful to read Luke 1:67-79) What are some OT Scriptures that you think Jesus might have used in his explanation to these two travelers? (You might want to keep the distinction in mind)
- How would hearing the Savior of the world share and explain the Scriptures to you impact your own view of them? Do you think that you would interact differently with them? Why? Is the fact that it might change your perspective a comment on the greatness of Jesus or an indictment of your present view of the Bible? Or both?
- The big idea of the message is that the Resurrection of Jesus enables us to deal with despair. Why is this so? What connections can you make between rectifying personal despair and Jesus’ resurrection?
- Spend sometime in prayer for a despairing world and anyone you personally know that is despairing. Ask God to help you be bold enough to live and speak the light of Christ and the hope of His resurrection to them.
