      Youth Teacher - Elissa Coleman

      From Fear to Faith

      LUKE 24:36-53

      RESOURCES NEEDED

      •  New National Baptist Hynmal, 21st Century Edition, #225 (NNBH, #165)

      •  God’s Promises Bible

      •  Boyd’s Commentary for the Sunday School

      UNIFYING PRINCIPLE

      People find that promises are easy to make but difficult to keep. Which promises can be relied on without reservation? Through the resurrection, Jesus kept His word and fulfilled the words of prophecy about Him.

      BIBLICAL EMPHASES:

      1.  The disciples are discussing a reported sighting of Jesus when He miraculously appears and speaks to them.

      2.  The disciples have a difficult time believing it is Him, so He shows them His hands and feet, eats some food, opens their minds to the Scriptures, and explains what they know about the Messiah.

      3.  Jesus blesses the disciples and ascends into heaven.

      4.  The disciples worship Jesus, joyfully return to Jerusalem, and stay at the temple, praising God.

      TARGET EMPHASIS

      SEEKERS FOR JESUS: Young people are able to separate the real from the unreal. They can come to an understanding of the truth about the death and resurrection of Jesus.

      TEEN SCENE: Youths have gained knowledge about things they did not understand before. Understanding that Jesus is the Messiah helps them to wait for God to fulfill His promises.

      LESSON OVERVIEW

      I.  The Disciples Fear (Luke 24:36-38)

      Today’s lesson continues Luke’s account of the events that took place on the first day of the week when Jesus rose from the dead. First, Jesus made Himself known to two disciples who were walking along the road to their home. These two disciples immediately returned to Jerusalem and found the Eleven and others who were with them. They told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread (v. 35, NIV). Our lesson today records the events that take place when Jesus appears to the disciples.

      In verse thirty-six, the disciples are discussing what the two have reported to them. Does the group believe their report? We will see that the Eleven are not convinced of what they are hearing. This is evidenced by their response when Jesus appears in their midst. Jesus makes a physical appearance and speaks to them. The disciples do not recognize Him despite the fact that they have spent the last three years with Jesus. They do not recognize His voice. What keeps them from recognizing someone with whom they are so familiar?

      Luke tells us that the disciples think that they are seeing a ghost. This means that the disciples possibly believe in the appearance of dead people. Also, their belief that they are seeing a ghost indicates that they do not understand Jesus’ teaching that He would be crucified and raised on the third day (see Matt. 16:21; Mark 14:28). When Jesus sees their fear, He begins to take actions to eliminate their fear and lead them to faith.

      II.  Jesus Presents Evidence (Luke 24:39-49)

      The first action that Jesus takes is to show them His hands and feet. Although the disciples had fled when Jesus was taken prisoner by the soldiers in the garden of Gethsemane, they were aware Jesus had been crucified. We know some of the women and at least one of the Eleven were eyewitnesses to His crucifixion (see John 19:25-26). In addition to using the sense of sight, Jesus allows them to use the sense of touch. By touching His body and feeling the nail prints in His hands and feet, they can know that what stands in their presence is not a ghost. They can distinguish the real from the unreal, but they are not still fully convinced.

      In Jewish tradition, two or three witnesses were required to prove that something was true, e.g., the guilt of a man (see Deut. 19:15). Here Jesus presents a third witness to reveal it is really Him standing before them. He eats food in their presence. Surely, they know that a ghost cannot eat food. As Jesus eats the food, He reminds them of the prophecies regarding His crucifixion and resurrection as written in ‘the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms’ (Luke 24:44, NIV).

      The disciples hear the words that Jesus is saying, and they apparently know what is written in the Scriptures. However, the disciples are no different from other people. It is impossible to understand the full meaning of God’s Word without God opening the mind to the understanding of the words bring read and spoken. Paul explains the futility of the natural man’s attempt to understand by human wisdom the wisdom that comes from God. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned (1 Cor. 2:14, NIV).

      In explaining the Scriptures, Jesus tells the disciples that He is indeed the Christ. They are witnesses because they see the evidence in His person. They see that what has happened to Jesus was foretold in the Scriptures. Now that they know the truth, they are expected to tell others that Jesus is the Christ who was crucified and then raised from the dead. As a result, people can be forgiven of their sins if they will repent. The task will be difficult as those who preach Jesus will meet strong opposition. In addition, they will have to resist the temptation to stop preaching in order to avoid persecution. However, they will be able to carry out their task because Jesus will send them the Holy Spirit promised by the Father (see John 14:15-18). Jesus’ instruction to the disciples to ‘stay in the city until [they] have been clothed with power from on high’ (Luke 24:49, NIV) is still relevant today. We need God’s power to be effective witnesses because we do not have the ability to do so by our own human nature.

      III.  Belief Leads to Worship (Luke 24:50-53)

      Jesus has accomplished everything that the Father sent Him to do. It is time for Him to return to the Father. Jesus leads the disciples "to
