Passing of the Peace of Christ
May the Peace of Christ Be With You
ALL: And Also With You.
Take a second to pass the Peace
(This tradition comes from Jesus HIMSELF, if your Church does not practice this ask your leaders why?
Matthew 10:12 "As you enter the house, give it your greeting.
?13 "If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.)

First Reading
Isaiah 53
1 ? Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?
?2 For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him.
?3 He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.
?4 ? Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted.
?5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
?6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.
?7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.
?8 He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.
?9 And they made His grave with the wicked-But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.
?10 ? Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand.
?11 He shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many, For He shall bear their iniquities.
?12 Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.
(NKJV)
This Is The WORD Of The LORD
ALL: Thanks Be To GOD!
The LORD’S Prayer & Apostles Creed
Matthew 6:9 ? And Jesus said "In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.
?10 Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
?11 Give us this day our daily bread.
?12 And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors.
?13 And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Christian What Do You Believe?
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The Holy Catholic Church;
The Communion of Saints;
The Forgiveness of sins;
The Resurrection of the body,
And the Life everlasting.
Amen.

Second Reading & Lesson

Luke 24:33-48
33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
?34 saying, "The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!"
?35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread.
?36 ? Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you."
?37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit.
?38 And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
?39 "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have."
?40 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
?41 But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?"
?42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
?43 And He took it and ate in their presence.
?44 Then He said to them, "These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me."
?45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.
?46 Then He said to them, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day,
?47 "and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
?48 "And you are witnesses of these things.
The Holy Gospel of our LORD Jesus Christ
ALL: All Glory to YOU LORD Christ!
What a Stunner!!!
As we looked at last week, someone standing in a room 3 days after we watched him die, and be buried would stun us to put it mildly.
If we are totally honest we would faint on the floor ourselves, and at the least want proof what we are looking at is real!!!
Yet we hear sermons all the time that blast the Apostles for doing what we ourselves would have done, but we always see the Apostles as dopes, while today’s “Theologians” are the geniuses we need to read and quote.
This message is meant to bring us back first to the first Century, take us to today, and then seek to understand how it applies to us as it did then, shockingly THIS is the pattern of Good Sermon Prep, and yet it is not used as it should be.
If you can’t quote the Pastor’s point minutes after the Sermon, don’t be embarrassed as this is common place, and it’s because most sermons are written as we were cautioned against as 3 Sermons and not 3 points so now wonder why you can’t pick out the point that stood out to you.
So you are now saying “what does that have to do with our passage???”
Well, Everything as we need to first understand why this is a stunner.
In 2016, our family lost our Brother Dave, in 2017 our Dad, in 2021 our Mom and my Father In-law in 2023 ?and as we gathered at the Funeral Homes, and then at the Cemeteries, were we expecting any of them to rise from the dead at that moment? NO, of course not, and though we fully believe they will rise bodily in Christ on the Last Day, we also sure knew that this day was perhaps not that day, and why we got to Cemetery and visit their grave to pay honor.
As I said to Wife Robin, whom I trust thoroughly, had I gotten home and you said to me Dave, Dad, Mom or Pop is alive, I would have said what?
A real question, what would you say??
I need to talk to him and see him personally, right?
We all know this would be our reaction, and it is a refreshing and honest starting place for us to understand what really was going through the Apostles heads that night.
They had just seen Jesus beaten, bloodied, and hanging on a tree, and HE surely died, and now HE stands in our mist for real bodily, and can prove it!
The Apostles react just like we would jaws dropped, and Jesus knew it, and HE understands it so 40 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
?41 But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?"
?42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
?43 And He took it and ate in their presence.
HE really eats to a sure them HE is real, and really alive.
So this assurance of Jesus Bodily and real resurrection, takes us to how this news applies to us.
It is to assure us that we have a risen Savior, and to that end that GOD really is who HE says HE is, master of ALL!
In the Dress Rehearsals we remember by HIS WORD alone, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead, and this shows us what?
Right the LORD is master of ALL, has broken the neck of death, and our Life in Christ alone by faith assured!
This is extremely vital, as we need to be able to witness with this confidence, and self-assured that the LORD is who HE says HE is.
Did you ever wonder why HE set 40 days as a Bench Mark?
Noah and the Flood
Moses with the LORD on Mt Sinai, and the 40 day test of Israel
The Goliath test
Jesus in the Wilderness
And now
Jesus 40 day appearing post resurrection
Let’s answer a question ourselves;
If we were to meet King Charles III, whom previously we had never met for 40 straight days, would we really believe after 40 days that we really met the King?
Of course we would,
How about the same test, we need to go for 40 straight days to meet with the President of the United States, and we did, we would not question whether we actually met him or her would we?
And yet this exactly what the radical unbelieving groups would like us to believe!
I believe we Reformed Protestants get bogged down with our common Texts such as Romans and Paul’s Epistles, while forgetting the real events, and that Jesus said EVERYTHING Paul said earlier. We Simply don’t focus enough on the things like the 40 real days.
It is why I have set as a Goal to return the Church to its calendar, and its Real Events, the 40 days is one of those steps.
Next week we are going to look at Thomas gets labeled And Jesus Appears to the 500
