Easter 3 Walking With Jesus 

Luke 24:13-35 

At Easter, we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection from the dead, but this is no ghostly apparition! Jesus returns in the flesh to be close once again with His friends and to bring them closer with one another. There is tenderness and physicality highlighted in the resurrection narratives as people come together to hear and respond to this amazing news. Before Jesus’ followers become the heroic saints of the church, they are simply a group of friends hearing and telling one another a story for which they can barely find words. Like bedtime stories and old family lore, we share our stories in relationships close and safe so that we will be equipped to boldly share the story of Jesus in the world.

John 18:1 –19:42

Tonight we examine the horror and shame of the cross as it was meant to be. Jesus endured it all for us. Because of His actions, what was meant as an instrument of torture has become the greatest example of God's unconditional love and an object of divine beauty.
