LUKE 24 36-48

   🍃🕊️12/08 - GospeL Verses 🍃🕊️

36 - As they were talking these things over, Jesus himself stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”

     37 But this startled them, and they were frightened for they thought they were seeing a ghost.

     38 And he said, “Why are you troubled? And doubts rise in your hearts? 39 Look at my hands and feet. And see that it’s I myself. Touch me, for a spirit doesn’t have flesh and bones. As you see that I have.” 40 And while he was saying this, he showed them his hands and feet.

     41 While they were joyfully wondering, but not quite able to believe, he asked, “Have you anything to eat?” 42 So they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he ate it.

     44 Then he said to them, “This is what I told you, that what’s written about me in the Law of Moses and in the Prophets and in the Psalms, has to be fulfilled.” 45 Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures. 46 And said, “This is what’s written, that the Christ would suffer, and would rise from the dead [nekros - dead, deceased, lifeless, without life] on the third day. 47 And that repentance [metanoia - a change of mind, change in the inner person, a turning away and to] would be proclaimed, in Messiah/Christ’s name, to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem ..Turning, proclaimed for the forgiveness {the ‘problem’ being God is Life, and “is Perfect” Mt.5:48} [for aphesis - forgiveness, release, remission, cancel of debt, struck from the record, complete pardon] of sins [(greek) hamartia - missing the mark, imperfection]. {The biG cause and effect defeated - the remedy “built in from the formation”/creation - death subdued, overcome by Jesus/Christ Crucified, the rider on the white horse.. the white horse being the Gospel, the Truth ..which “openly triumphed over powers and principalities”. Today’s verses from the letters closely tie in with these gospel (life and 1st brief advent of Jesus) verses.}

     48 And he said, “You are witnesses of these things.”
