Celebrating 25 years of Thinky Things!

Luke 24
THE MESSAGE

They could barely believe it. They had seen Jesus on the cross, he had died, he had been placed in a tomb, and now he was standing there alive in front of them!

Jesus told them that this shouldn’t have been a surprise, and they should have seen it coming as they read the scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” (Luke 24 v 46 – 47).

From our perspective we can see that Jesus actually did suffer and rise from the dead, so the scriptures he referred to for these events have been fulfilled. The next part of his statement is still to be fulfilled: “repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations.” (v 47). It began with the apostles to the people of their generation, and it needs to continue with us so that the people around us know that by repenting they can be forgiven.

Let’s get out and preach this gospel of repentance and forgiveness. What a hope we have to offer!

May God grant us the opportunities, courage and faith to share his word this week.
