Discuss Luke 24 Page 10

I have a question as to how many were present at the ascension of Jesus. In this chapter we see Jesus with the eleven disciples but if you look at Luke 24: 13-53 we see Jesus talking to the two men from Emmaus. They end up going to the eleven disciples, verse 33. We see an addition at the end of verse 33 " and them that were with them " Now you have the eleven and them with them and the two with them. They are given some instructions and are led out of Bethany and they watch him ascend.

Like all things, we try to interpret things using conventional wisdom and usually miss the point. The fact that Jesus DIED and AROSE after 3 days is not a normal occurence. In knowing this fact alone, all people that actually witnessed Jesus ' death and burial were privy to a once in a lifetime event. It was on this basis that the cornerstone of our faith was laid. How could people not believe that He was God after all of that? Easy as the flesh can never comprehend what the spirit represents. Peace out, Papacool.

As it were in the beginning so shall it be in the end Jesus was walking with his deciples.he told them things that was soon to happen , but when the time came they still pondered and doubted.we must be careful to take heed to the word ,less when the time comes, we will loose out

I love reading any part of the bible, and Luke 24 was great!

I found it a bit unusual, knowing that Jesus is alive, to have the same verse repeated so many times, was that just to make the point that Jesus was and still is alive?

They got to see him face to face again..wow !!!That same Jesus that walk with them for 3 years and than died up on the cross ,they got to see face to face again..

it means Jesus did not die in the cross i believe him he wont lie as the pastors are doing.

Luke is one of the easiest book to understand. Whatever Jesus said always come to pass. He said this temple Him Jesus will be broaken down in three days die and buried but will be rebuild in three days raised from the dead and yes He did. He appeared and eat with them in the flesh. So yes thank God Jesus Christ the Lord rose from the dead for all of us and He is alive today for who believe and who believe not. Too bad for the unbelievers but, for me praise God He 's coming for me!!!!!

this chapter remain me that if you love the lord you will seek his word or for him. The women were very concern about making is body fresh smelling but God reward them by allow is present not to be there. That was a good thing. He will reward you for your faithfulness.

His woman Are you referring to Mary Magdalene Jesus had no woman of His own remember He was God s Beloved Only Son Mary loved Him with pure Love as Her Saviour and we reborn Christians must love Jesus with the same love that Mary did

HIS WOMAN THAT FIRST SAW JESUS

@ Nabeel I strongly disagree with what you have stated. Jesus said very clearly he died 'And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day'. You also said no where does it mention Jesus showing his hands and feet, of course it does! ' Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have' Jesus said Behold, the verses are very clear.

I think It means God can still appear to any of us.

(Verses 8-9) "Oh,do not hold us guilty for our former sins! Let your tenderhearted mercies quickly meet our needs, for we are brought low to the dust. Help us, O God of our salvation! Help us for the honor of your name. Oh, save us and forgive our sins for the sake of your name"

Didn't Jesus say this in Luke 24:44-48: "When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me by ... the Psalms must all come true. ... Yes, it was written long ago that the Christ must suffer and die and rise again from the dead on the third day. With my authority, take this message of repentance to all the nations, beginning in Jerusalem: 'There is forgiveness of sins for all who turn to me."

The "me" here has to be the God referred to in Psalm 79 for there can be only one Savior.

Too. it is written that Jesus (Christ) would be in the grave three days and three nights in the book of Jonah. Jonah 1-17 says, "Now the Lord had arranged a great fish to swollow Jonah. And Jonah was inside the fish for three days and three nights." Jonah was a type for Christ. His story shows us how Jesus would give his life for our sins, just as Jonah gave his life for his sin (Jonah said that he called to God from the world of the dead.). This is what Jesus was talking about.

The bottom line is, Jesus and the God the Psalms talk about are the same!

God help us to understand!

(Verse 48) "And (you Lord) rescues me from my enemies. You hold me safe from violent opponents."

The enemy of man is sin. It has always been our enemy. This means that David is talking about God as Jesus, who saves us from sin by his death on the cross. Let's say it this way. David was a prophet looking into the future and seeing Jesus as our Savior. He saw Jesus as Paul saw him in Titus 2:13, "Our great God and Savior." And he pictured what Jesus would say in John 6:39, "But the Scriptures point to me."

Jesus further said to two of his followers in Luke 24:25-26, "You are such foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. Wasn't it clearly predicted by the prophets that the Christ would have to suffer all these things before entering his time of glory?" Verse 27 reads: "Then Jesus quoted passages from the writings in Moses and all the prophets, explaining what all the Scriptures said about himself."

Yes, the Psalms are about Jesus!

God blesses those who understand!

vv34. Which simon is this ? Coz in v12 simon peter didn't see him in the sepuchre and neither of the two going to emmaus was simon coz on return to jerusalem they found all 11( the 12 minus judas) seated together
vv15. The "risen" jesus is obviously properly dressed. Where could he have got the clothes to wear ? NB: v12 says the linen in which he'd been bound for burial is found lying there by simon peter.

In response .. the Scripture Matthew 28:19
is cross-referenced many times and broken down for any individual/s to read: the Name of the FATHER: JESUS CHRIST, Son: JESUS CHRIST, HOLY GHOST: JESUS CHRIST .. the directions are CLEAR and CONCISE ... HE did NOT say to "polly-parrot" what I have said BUT rather to go and do as I have COMMANDED ... ACTS 4:12... and MANY other Scripture/s are there for US to meditate upon with Prayer & Fasting to be given complete Reve{a}Lation ... LUKE 24:45 ...thank YOU/LORD JESUS for the KNOWLEDGE that YOU'VE given US.
GOD is a SPIRIT {in fullness of HIS glorification; and WE that worship HIM {{{NOT}} them MUST worship HIM in Spirit and TRUTH.

I think it is a great scripture but I want to know all the related scripture from the old testement.

What the verse is letting us know is that jesus the son of /God himself is not dead he is alive . Just like he was three days earlier when they thaught they have killed him for good on that old rugged cross. The romans did not realize he just went to sleep for three days then got up to be with his father or should I say himself. The bible tells he told the deciples when you see me you see my father, so we know that God can not be dead because he is a spirit and IF will say this and proud to say it he dwells in me. Thank lord for alowing me to be your friend.

Wouldn't it have been great to hear the lesson Christ gave to the 2 disciples on the road to Emmaus in vs 25-27!

We will be changed from sinful to sinless human beings. This will make us immortal because sin results to death. The Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death...". In other words if there is no sin there is no death. We are still flesh and blood as Jesus is after His resurrection where He ate broiled fish ( Luke 24:42)

just as adam and eve did not comprehend their own nakedness until theirs eyes were opened(by the Lord)that they would "understand"the results of sin.could it be that the men on the road to Emmaus could not have their eyes opened to know

I would like to comment on Luke (24:36-43)
In these verses Jesus Christ (PBUH) clearly explains to his disciples that he did not die and neither he resurrect. I saw some people comments that Jesus (PBUH) showed his hands and feet to show the nail marks to the people. It is not mention anywhere in the bible that Jesus (PBUH) showed the nail signs to his disciples. He is trying to show that still his body was a natural body. Not a spiritual as they think.
Jesus Christ (PBUH) Comments on resurrected bodies in Luke (20:27-36)
Luke (20:36) neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels.

According to this verse Jesus Christ (PBUH) said that the resurrected bodies will be spiritual (angel).
If Jesus (PBUH) really resurrected from the dead, his body also has to be a spirit. But he showed his hands and feet to his disciples and confirmed that he is not a spirit. He is filled with flesh and bones. If his body is not a spiritual body that means he was not resurrected from the dead. For a person to resurrect, he should die. Jesus (PBUH) clearly explain to the people that he did not die on the cross.

Isaiah 9:6 tells us who Jesus really is. He is the Son, Father and God. Jesus is the name you should be baptized in.( Acts 2:38,19:5,10:48,8:37-38)( 2 Cor 3:1) Out of the mouths of two or three shall the word of God be established. Many times did the scriptures say Jesus name baptism but only once did it sayin the name of Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost( Matthew 28:19) If you put them all together you get the name and that is Jesus. ( Luke 24:47) tells where and what name should remissions of sins and repentence should be preached. Matt, Mark, Luke and John are the books that tell of Jesus's birth, life ,death and resurrection and the resurrection begins in the book of acts and is the beginning of the Church. Jesus gave Peter the authority to speak on the day of pentecost in St John(21:15-17)( Acts 1:2) as well as the first chapter of Acts, whom Jesus chose the apostles.
People try to say well who told the apostles to go and baptize in Matthew 28:19? Jesus of course, I agree but who stopped Saul/Paul on the way to Damascus? The same Jesus? YES! Paul baptized in what way and name? Jesus.( Acts 19:5) No other name( Acts 4:12) as well as One Lord, One Faith and one Baptism ( eph 4:5) People will jump over the book of Acts because of what ever reason. Acts opens up the name. If you don't believe me see what is done in Jesus name in the book of Acts. Do a study but before you do it pray to Jesus and ask for wisdom.

Jesus Bless

Matthew 28:1 will explain who "they" are.

Matthew 28:1 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

verse 1 Who is they? was Joseph one of they?

Christ is establishing the difference between Him and the Spirit which is to come after him. When He ascends into heaven, He will send a comforter, counsellor who will not be made of flesh and will be like that of the wind. The third person of the trinity. In verse 49, they are to wait in the city until he comes.

This is the first time I have read the gospels of Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. I found them so enlightening and very moving. I know all that was said in the gospels was meant to be, but still think to myself of how the Jews condemned a totally innocent man to death on the cross and let a murderer go Free!! I know the Pharisees were jealous of Christ’s power over the people, but the Jews saw all of the miracles that Christ performed, and they still did not believe. When Christ said to the Jews, "Do not cry for me but cry for your children’s children", these words came true! Even when the leader of the Jewish faith said before he died that Christ had told him he was the messiah 2000 years ago, they still could not believe. Be it on their own heads. Where will they turn when Christ’s second coming arrives in all his glory! God have mercy on us all!!

@Walt,
You say: “…gentiles were excluded from Moses covenant until the cross … The four gospels should be part of the Old Testament.” Let’s “zoom out” of Ephesians 2, and take a look at the whole Bible from “an eagle’s eye view”. The plan of salvation did not begin with the Jews; it was conceived before the foundation of the world 1 Peter 1:19. First, it was revealed to Adam and Eve after the fall Genesis 3:15. Then Enoch, Noah and Job preached it. Melchizedek, serving as the priest of the Most High preached it. And finally it was promised to Abraham, in whose seed all the nations would be blessed. The plan of salvation has different stages: It began in the Garden of Eden, continued until the Flood, then after the Flood with Noah and his family until Abraham. The Jewish Nation followed. God’s prophets continued to preach until Christ came, and He continued to preach “the Kingdom of God” until His ascension. After that, the Apostles followed including Paul. The plan of salvation included the whole world from the beginning. Though the shortest, the “Jewish period” period was the most important. But The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was the same from the beginning to “the end”, having at the center Jesus Christ, The Savior of the world. This is what Jesus was trying to explain to His people, when they wanted to kill Him: “Search the scriptures (the Old Testament); for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me” John 5:39. On the road to Emmaus, “beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself” Luke 24: 27. Conclusion: You can’t separate The Old from The New Testament. It is just one message, one plan of salvation, one Christ.
