Luke 24:36-53

Proof of Life: Jesus really has risen!     Luke 24:36-43

Jesus and the Old Testament

Jesus in the Old Testament

The Message of the Mission: You are witnesses!     Luke 24:46b-49

It is a message that is centered on Jesus.

It is a message of repentance.

It is a message of forgiveness.

It is a message for all nations, but it starts at home.

It is a message that is to be carried, not created.

It is a message that is only effective unto salvation when accompanied by the Holy Spirit's power.

It is a message whose proclamation is still being overseen, and enabled by the Ascended Christ's heavenly reign, and ministry of intercession.

The King over the Mission: Jesus is still in charge!     Luke 24:50-53

His vindication

His heavenly reign

His ministry of intercession

Applying Truth to Life ...

Jesus is the Savior, and has initiated rescue ... and the world needs to know!
