The Resurrection brings CLARITY
About This Sermon
Steven Morris teaches from Luke 24:13-35, the road to Emmaus, showing how the risen Jesus brings clarity to confused and disappointed disciples. Two men walk away from Jerusalem grieving Jesus' death, even though they have heard reports of the empty tomb. Jesus meets them on the road, listens to their sorrow, and then opens the Scriptures to show how all of God's promises point to him.
The message highlights three ways Jesus brings clarity: to our circumstances, to God's promises, and to his identity as the promised Savior. Steven emphasizes that the resurrection reframes rather than dismisses our pain, that Scripture, not our experiences, should shape our faith, and that recognizing Jesus is God's work in our hearts.
Scripture: Luke 24:13-35; 2 Corinthians 1:20; Isaiah 53
