Summary

Easter is too marvelous for words, but we’re going to try. Luke 24 is an account of the resurrection: from the morning when the empty tomb was discovered, to the middle of the day when Jesus appeared on the road to Emmaus, to the evening when Jesus appeared to his disciples. And in that evening account, we see that Jesus said a number of things to his disciples. We can learn three things about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from what happens that evening: 1) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a paradigm-shattering historical event, 2) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to understanding the message of the entire Bible, and 3) the resurrection is the strongest message of hope possible. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 20, 2014. Series: Knowing Jesus. Scripture: Luke 24:36-49.

0:09.8	gospel presents the resurrection of Jesus as a historical fact that has the power to transform our lives.
0:16.3	In today's sermon, Tim Keller invites us to consider how the resurrection reframes the entire story of the Bible

0:34.1	The reading is taken from Luke 24, verses 36 through 49.
0:43.5	While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them and said to them,
0:52.9	Peace be with you. They were startled and frightened, thinking they saw a ghost. He said to them, why are you troubled and why do doubts rise in your minds? Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Touch me and see. Ghost does not have
1:16.6	flesh and bones, as you see I have. When he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.
1:25.4	And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them,
1:31.5	do you have anything here to eat?
1:34.8	They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate it in their presence.
1:40.4	He said to them, this is what I told you while I was still with you.

2:08.0	The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day.
2:12.7	And repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations beginning at Jerusalem.
2:21.7	You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my father has promised,
