Missio Dei Community - SLC

This week, Jonny continues our series, We See Ghosts, by preaching through Luke 19:41-48.

For three years Jesus had been preparing his disciples for the moment of his return following the resurrection but when it finally happened, they couldn’t comprehend it. For the disciples it was easier to believe Jesus was a ghost than to believe he was alive in the flesh. This same feeling is always a struggle for followers of Jesus. In order to comprehend, we reduce, we see ghosts instead of a living, resurrected King. As he did for the disciples, Jesus is inviting us to “touch and see” that he has “flesh and bones.” He is inviting us to see and to experience the reality of Jesus’ work, words, and promises.
