The Spirit
Jesus and the Eyewitnesses
Richard Baukham
Luke 24:45 through 49
I asked you to ask God if he was real.
Luke is a historian
You are witnesses of these things: Jesus solemnly told them that they were witnesses of these things.
Not only witnesses of the events surrounding the work of Jesus, but also of the commission itself to spread the gospel.
This was a work they were all mutually responsible for.
This is the Promise of the Father.
He will make a New Covenant, putting his law in our hearts.
Wait, and then he Blessed them
Nothing but blessing had ever come from those hands; but now, Jesus stands as the High Priest over His people to bless them.
“Thus He remains until He comes again, His hands uplifted, and His lips pronouncing the blessedness of His own.” (Morgan)’
ii.
When Jesus blesses His people, it isn’t just a pious wish like “I hope things work out for you” or “I hope you will be feeling better.”
Instead, the blessing of Jesus has inherent power within it.
iii.
“If he has blessed you, you shall be blessed, for there is no power in heaven, or earth, or hell, that can reverse the blessing which He gives.”
(Spurgeon)
iv.
“While we see those uplifted hands, there can be no room for doubt or fear, when other menacing hands are stretched out to harm us or vex us.
Whether in life or death, in adversity or prosperity, in sorrow or in joy, we know by that token that we are safe.”
(Morgan)
· They worshipped Him:
This means they knew that Jesus was God, and they gave Him the honor He deserves.
· They returned to Jerusalem:
This means they did just what Jesus told them to do.
They were obedient.
· With great joy:
This means they really believed Jesus rose from the dead, and let the joy of that fact touch everything in their life.
· Continually in the temple praising and blessing God:
This means that they lived as public followers of Jesus, and could not hide their love and worship towards Him.
i. “A little before, they could not believe for joy.
Now they were joyful just because they believed.”
(Morrison)
ii.
When God does this kind of work in His people, we say “Amen.”
1) to love Jesus more deeply, and,
2) to minister His life, love, and power more dynamically.

let me ask you, wait for what exactly? and why?
I send the Promise of My Father upon you:
They could not do the work Jesus had called them to do unless they were endued with power from on high, and that power would come as the Holy Spirit was poured out upon them.
· They were common, simple men.
· They had lost hope.
· They had lost joy – a sense of spiritual desertion.
· They had not lost desire – they still loved to talk about Jesus.
