And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, saying, “The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!” Luke 24:33-34 – He is risen! I love anytime I get to read and write about the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and today we get that blessing together! What we find in this chapter is that even though Jesus foretold all this would take place, the disciples struggled to believe it. Even when the women followers of Jesus witnessed the empty tomb and told them the words angels spoke to them, many of the apostles refused to believe the truth that Jesus had risen from the dead. Yet here we have Jesus walking with a couple disciples on the road. He entered a home and ate dinner with them, yet until Jesus revealed Himself they didn’t know who He was. Yet when His identity was revealed to them and they saw Jesus for who He was, what did they do? They told the eleven what had happened. Yet see what they had to do. They were seven miles from Jerusalem, meaning they would have to run a 10k at night just to get this word to the eleven of what happened. What then are you willing to do to get the glorious message across that Jesus is alive? Would you run a 10k at night if it meant someone hearing that truth? Would you stay another year at your workplace to have more opportunities to share the Gospel? Would you leave your hometown so you could plant yourself somewhere else that has a greater gospel need? What would you be willing to do? We have the message that changes lives and it’s our turn to get after sharing that message. Let’s settle that we’d be willing to do whatever Jesus told us to do in order to get out the message that He is alive and He can save. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 3553
