G - He is risen changes everything
Trans: this last month we have been talking about the bible itself, how to read it and the story it tells.
We believe the bible was written in Partnership between Regular people who lived a very long time ago, and the Holy Spirit of God.
And its story is constantly playing with these things we are so hesitant to engage in our own lives.
It is a long story all about failure, wounds death, weakness, loss, and what it is like to live in a world like ours with that stuff in it.
Last week we talked about PART ONE of the story the bible tells.
How that cycle of people failing to partner with God and the pain tragedy and death it brings about in the world.
And how Jesus went to the cross to break that cycle of failure.
On the last page of Luke, chapter 24 we find Jesus’ closet friend reeling from his completely unexpected and earth shattering death.
But to understand how crushing it was we have to take a step back.
You are a lower class Jew living under Roman Occupation
Jesus comes around
Surrounds himself with people like you.
says he is turning the world upside down
Promises you that God cares about you even though it doesn't seem like it.
Promises that he is here to SAVE you
Reveals he has power to do it
Heals
Teaches with authority
Wins arguments with the smartest people around
Heals the sick
Feeds the hungry
Casts out demons
raises the dead
You are right there as the crowd of people like you GROWS behind Jesus and you march all over the place (the authorities are SCARED) and you have been there since the beginning.
A week ago you walked behind him into the capitol of your homeland while crowds of people cheered and called Jesus a king.
This is like if your buddy Jon started a nation wide political movement, and you and thousands of others just walked up to the front door of the white house Surrounded by 100,000 people chanting John is the real president.
You really believe that God was using this person to usher in a new era of Justice and Peace on earth through the Power of this person.
For a moment you felt like
But instead
One of his closest friends betrayed him, and he didn’t fight back.
The authorities arrested him and he didn't fight back
The Cheering crowds stop changing crown him, and started chanting Crucify Him. and he didn’t fight back.
They beat him and killed him, and he didn’t fight back
You, and his closest followers ran away scared.
he died up there and he didn’t fight back.
After three years of learning to hope again, 3 years of seeing amazing things, everything ended in less than three days.
Hopes, dreams, big plans, all fell flat.
There is no coming back from this kind of loss.
The messiah, is gone, and if he is dead It means he never really was the messiah to begin with.
The last page of Luke Has three stories about Jesus friends and their sadness at his death and their clear desire to MOVE ON from it.
It looms so large its almost impossible for them to accept the miracle that has happened
Some Get busy moving on.
Some hide
Some shut down
But most people when something like that happens Quit dreaming, Vow to never get their hopes up like that again.
This is the worst case scenario and there is no coming back from this.
Women at the Tomb - Doing the Work
They arrive
stone gone
they wonder
angels appear
TERROR
This is what they say.
They Say REMEMBER.
6 He is not here; he has risen!
Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’
” 8 Then they remembered his words.
The women go tell the REST the good news.
No One believes them.
They just keep going.
on mourning, trying to Forget and move on.
2 Disciples on the Road - “Uh isn't it terrible”
A couple of other disciples out for a walk moping and talking about what had happened.
Jesus appears and they dont recognize him.
asks them “why so sad?”
Our Prophet/Messiah was killed, the project failed its been three days.
Worse yet, now our women are claiming he is alive.
Interesting - Not only do they not believe the women, they are troubled by what they had to say.
They are still trying to move on, to make sense of what happened and get back to life.
But in their effort to move forward.
In their “Isn't it terrible talk.”
They are missing the good news, failing to see what is happening.
Jesus shows them, He helps them to remember what they have been taught.
That ‘The messiah must suffer these things to enter his glory.”
Jesus explains to them that all of Scripture was pointing to that moment on the cross (like we talked about last week the snake and the snake crusher)
Its not until Jesus breaks bread with him that they recognize him and immediately he vanishes.
Like the women the two on the road run back to the rest of Jesus Friends and tell what they have seen.
