Scripture - Luke 24:17 And He said to them, "What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another as you walk and are sad?"
Observation - Christ has been crucified and was risen and was walking with them. He was listening to their conversation and how they were in dreadful despair of what had transpired in Jerusalem. They were talking about Christ death and how tragic it was. In the following scriptures - Jesus rebukes them and says - ought not the Christ have died to bring forgiveness to Israel. In other words - this is exactly what is supposed to happen. We are not to be down about what is taking place but to rejoice in the good news that He is risen. We are to rejoice in tribulation that we are partakers of Christ suffering. Too often we look at our situations as tragic instead of looking at them as bringing a new life to our world. Jesus is still in control of everything and knew exactly what would happen to him and he knows what is happening to us.
Application - We should control our conversation to discuss the holy things of God and the powerful testimony of our Jesus that is risen. So many of us crucify him over and over again because we only think of tragedy instead of talking about the glorious resurrection. The power was not in the death but in the life that followed.
Prayer - Father help me to constantly proclaim the good news!!!! Forever!!!!!!!!!
