Outline: Luke 24:33-49 Passing the Baton Sermon Notes for the Third Sunday in Easter, April 26, 2009, by Pastor Dennis R. Tuuri Lk 24:33-49 A. 33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, B. 34 saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon! C. 35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, D. and how He was known to them in the breaking of bread. E. 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? F. 39 Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. G. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have. F. 40 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. E. 41 But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, D. 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. C. 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. B. 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 . A. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high. Lk 24:1-7 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. A. 33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, A. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
