Easter 3
Acts 3: 12-19
Luke 24: 36(b)-48
For our service we looked at the way we have 4 gospels which have slightly different emphasis. Then we looked at the context of our reading, which was Easter evening after Jesus had appeared to various people following his resurrection. The disciples were met together sharing their various stories. We then considered Lukes particular emphasis.
Firstly, we looked at the way Jesus came to his disciples with love and peace, even though they had made mistakes. We then looked at how Jesus conveyed to them the reality of his resurrection. They were able to see and touch him, and witnessed him eating. Next, we looked at the way Jesus stressed the necessity of the cross. Jesus showed the disciples how scripture had pointed forward to the necessity of the cross, before he would be resurrected. It is through the cross and though faith that we experience our sins forgiven. Lastly, we considered how Jesus had emphasised the urgency of the task ahead of them. The disciples were to be those who would take forth the message of the gospel to the world.
From this we considered Gods love for us and his unmerited forgiveness. We looked at the hope that the resurrection brings. We pondered the joy that knowing that he lives brings as well as our need to share these wonderful truths.
Every blessing,
Rev`d Theo Corney
