Jesus's first appearance after his resurrection was to 2 disciples who were walking to Emmaus. While his exact words are not recorded, we know that Jesus explained to those disciples how all of the Scriptures (which we know as the Old Testament today) were about him. In this sermon Pastor Schurman explains the dangers of being distracted by "church things" instead of focusing on hearing and spreading the good news of free salvation in Christ Jesus.

This is the first sermon from the 2023 Lent series "Why Must the Servant of the LORD Suffer?" Using just one verse of Isaiah's prophecy about the LORD's servant, Pastor Schurman provides an overview of Jesus' life, suffering, death, and resurrection, and how it was all for us.

The apostle John records in the book of Revelation that many angels were saying in a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing." Why were the angels saying this about the resurrected LORD?

Jesus gave the binding and loosing keys to the church after his resurrection when he appeared to the disciples and other believers. We use the binding key (the Law) when someone is embracing a sin to show them they are damned to Hell and need a savior, and we use the loosing key (the Gospel) when they repent to forgive them of that sin and tell them Jesus is their savior.

This Easter we look not just at Jesus' resurrection, but also the resurrection of many believers who were already entombed when he gave up his spirit on the cross. These resurrections are proof of the victory Christ won over sin and death, and they show us that, for believers, death is merely a sleep for the body.

Until Christ returns we are to live in reverence of him, knowing we are redeemed by him, and we are to put our hope in him.

The chief priests and Pharisees efforts to "guard" Jesus' tomb shows us one of the Ironies of the Passion.
