Jesus in the Old Testament (Part 1)
Luke 24:13-24:32
After Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection he had an interaction with two of his followers who were despondent. They didn't know they were talking with the risen Jesus and expressed devastation about his crucifixion. Jesus delivered them from their despondency in four ways: 1) Jesus sought them out in midst of their despondency; 2) Jesus exposed their wrong ultimate hopes; 3) Jesus explained the Scriptures in regards to his death and resurrection; and 4) Jesus ignited hope in their hearts when they responded to his instruction. Despondency comes from unbelief in God's power, love, and goodness. God reveals those things about Himself through His son's death and resurrection; that is the where our ultimate hope should be.\r\n
