72 Luke 24:36-53 (Risen Indeed!)

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Aug24.pdf * This is our final look at Luke's account of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He wrote this account that those believing in Jesus might know assuredly the veracity of the testimony which they had heard regarding the birth, life, ministry, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus the Christ (the Messiah). * As we close, we see once again the importance of God being the One who ultimately instructs us. It God who opens up our eyes that we may behold wondrous things from His Word. * Last week we saw the importance of our testimony. Today we see that our witness and testimony of the Gospel message was part of God's redemption plan from the beginning. God desires for all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth, and He has chosen to use those who have been transformed by that message to be His heralds and ambassadors! * As we go forth, we must desire to continually be able to answer the critics and provide a defense to those who question us. This means growing in our understanding of the Scriptures. Again, that is a work of God and one of the primary reasons that the Holy Spirit has been sent to seal those who believe - to lead us into all truth. * Finally, Jesus' departure provides us with a glimpse of what is to come next on the biblical prophetic calendar - His return in the clouds! * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on August 24, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.
