Jesus' Departure And Ascension

“The Holy spirit is literally Jesus living within us, giving us His power, His strength, His everything”- Wesleyne

Word of Today - Luke Chapter 24


Luke chapter 24 is the culmination of the Gospel, chronicling the remarkable events following Jesus' resurrection. The narrative unfolds with women discovering the empty tomb and encountering angels who declare the risen Christ. Two disciples on the road to Emmaus experience a transformative encounter with the resurrected Jesus, recognizing Him in the breaking of bread. Subsequently, Jesus appears to the gathered disciples, offering tangible proof of His bodily resurrection. He emphasizes the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, instructs them about His redemptive mission, and ascends into heaven, leaving the disciples in awe.

From Luke chapter 24, you’ll gain profound insights into the reality and significance of Christ's resurrection. The empty tomb and the encounters with the risen Jesus dispel doubt and affirm the foundational Christian truth that Jesus conquered death. The road to Emmaus' account underscores the importance of recognizing Jesus through the Scriptures, and the subsequent appearance to the disciples solidifies the tangible reality of the resurrection. Jesus' departure and ascension highlight the transition from His earthly ministry to the era of the Holy Spirit, empowering believers to spread the message of salvation globally. Luke 24, with its emphasis on resurrection, revelation, and commission, serves as a pivotal chapter underscoring the transformative power of Christ's victory over death and the subsequent mission entrusted to His followers.
