Pentecost

Theme: Jesus’ Resurrection Sermon  
 
This week’s lessons teach us about the wide variety of ways in which the whole Old Testament points to Jesus.
 
Scripture: Luke 24:25-27
 
One of the great accounts of the appearances of the Lord Jesus Christ to his disciples following the resurrection is his appearance to the two Emmaus disciples recorded in Luke 24.

Theme: Peter’s Sermon at Pentecost
 
This week’s lessons teach us about the wide variety of ways in which the whole Old Testament points to Jesus.
 
Scripture: Luke 24:25-27
 
Today we look at some of the texts Jesus must have used in his sermon, which we discussed yesterday. An obvious place to begin is with Peter’s speech at Pentecost found in Acts 2. Peter used three texts in that message. The first was about Pentecost itself.

Theme: Peter before the Sanhedrin
 
This week’s lessons teach us about the wide variety of ways in which the whole Old Testament points to Jesus.
 
Scripture: Luke 24:25-27
 
In the fourth chapter of Acts we have another of Peter’s sermons. Here he has been called before the Sanhedrin (the highest council of the ancient Jews), and he is defending himself and his teaching.

Theme: “In All the Scriptures concerning Himself”
 
This week’s lessons teach us about the wide variety of ways in which the whole Old Testament points to Jesus.
 
Scripture: Luke 24:25-27
 
In the eighth chapter of Acts, we have another suggestive text. Here Philip has been sent to the Ethiopian eunuch. When Philip finds him, he is reading from a manuscript he acquired in Jerusalem.

Theme: Having Your Eyes Opened
 
This week’s lessons teach us about the wide variety of ways in which the whole Old Testament points to Jesus.
 
Scripture: Luke 24:25-27
 
I say as we end this week of Easter readings that I do not know how much of what I have presented this week is what the Lord preached that day on his walk from Jerusalem to Emmaus. But it was a long trip. It would have taken several hours.
