Summary
In today’s episode, we focus on Luke 24: 36-43 and discover that Jesus’ appearance to the disciples in the Upper Room was about more than simply convincing them that he had risen from the dead. Jesus did then what he wants to do with us now: he broke through the walls of their hearts, calling them to face their weakness and meeting that weakness with his peace.

| 0:00.0 | Have you ever let down a good friend? You know, maybe you hurt someone that you care about, you know, maybe your spouse, a family member, a dear friend, a coworker. Maybe you said something and wish you didn't say it that way or you got a little frustrated about something that wasn't worth getting frustrated about or you forgot something or didn't show up at something you should have been at it and you just feel badly about it and you want to set things right you want your |
| 0:23.8 | friend to know that you're sorry you just want to tell them sorry but imagine if you |
| 0:28.3 | never got the chance you never got the chance to say sorry. I think that's how the apostles felt on good Friday night |
| 0:36.4 | and holy Saturday and much of Easter Sunday until they got to see the risen Christ for themselves. |
| 0:42.3 | I mean just imagine how they were feeling, you |

| 0:50.7 | abandoning him in his greatest hour of need, and then Jesus dies. |
| 0:55.9 | I mean, imagine how guilty they felt and they never got to tell Jesus sorry. |
| 1:00.9 | And then suddenly, Jesus appears in their midst. |
| 1:05.0 | You know today I want to really bring us into the account, the gospel account of the |
| 1:11.8 | Apostles' first encounter with the risen Christ. |

| 1:24.6 | I don't think that's what was going on in fact if you read the gospel accounts carefully |
| 1:29.5 | it was a terrifying event they were utterly terrified. Why? Because you can |
| 1:35.5 | imagine they're thinking Jesus is coming and he's coming back and he's coming |
