Luke 24
1. Jesus' resurrection is declared by two angels to the women who come to the tomb.
9. They report it to others.
13. Jesus himself appears to the two disciples that went to Emmaus;
36. afterwards he appears to the apostles, and reproves their unbelief;
47. gives them a charge;
49. promises the Holy Spirit;
50. and so ascends into heaven.














and saying,
This phrase indicates a declaration or proclamation. In the context of Luke 24, this is part of the narrative where the disciples are sharing the news of Jesus' resurrection. The act of "saying" here is significant as it reflects the oral tradition of passing down important events and teachings in the early Christian community.

“The Lord has indeed risen
This statement is central to Christian faith, affirming the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection is a fulfillment of Jesus' own predictions (e.g., Luke 9:22) and Old Testament prophecies (e.g., Psalm 16:10). It serves as the cornerstone of Christian doctrine, signifying victory over sin and death. The use of "indeed" emphasizes the certainty and truth of the event, countering any doubts or disbelief.

and has appeared to Simon!”
Simon refers to Simon Peter, one of Jesus' closest disciples. The appearance to Peter is significant as it highlights Peter's restoration after his denial of Jesus (Luke 22:54-62). This personal encounter underscores Peter's role as a leader in the early church (Matthew 16:18). The mention of Peter specifically also aligns with 1 Corinthians 15:5, where Paul notes that Jesus appeared to Cephas (Peter) first, indicating the importance of this witness in the early Christian testimony.

Persons / Places / Events
1. The Lord (Jesus Christ)
Central figure of the Christian faith, who was crucified, buried, and rose again on the third day, fulfilling the prophecies of the Old Testament.

2. Simon Peter
One of Jesus' closest disciples, known for his strong faith and occasional impulsiveness. He was the first of the apostles to whom Jesus appeared after His resurrection, signifying restoration and forgiveness.

3. The Disciples
The group of Jesus' followers who were gathered together, sharing the news of Jesus' resurrection. They were initially in disbelief but became witnesses to the risen Christ.

4. Jerusalem
The city where these events took place, significant as the center of Jewish worship and the location of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.

5. The Resurrection
The pivotal event in Christian theology, where Jesus rose from the dead, confirming His divinity and the truth of His teachings.
Teaching Points
The Reality of the Resurrection
The resurrection is a historical and foundational truth of the Christian faith. It validates Jesus' claims and promises, offering hope and assurance to believers.

Restoration and Forgiveness
Jesus' appearance to Peter highlights the theme of restoration. Despite Peter's denial, Jesus forgives and restores him, demonstrating God's grace and mercy.

The Role of Witnesses
The disciples' testimony of the risen Christ is crucial for the spread of the Gospel. Believers today are called to be witnesses of Jesus' resurrection in their lives.

Faith in the Unseen
The disciples initially struggled with doubt, but their faith grew as they encountered the risen Lord. Believers are encouraged to trust in Jesus' promises, even when they cannot see.

Transformation through Encounter
An encounter with the risen Christ transforms lives. Just as the disciples were changed, believers are called to live transformed lives, reflecting the power of the resurrection.(34) The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.--Of the manifestation thus referred to, we have no other record in the Gospels. It occupies, however, a prominent place in those which St. Paul enumerates (1Corinthians 15:5), and takes its place among the phenomena which indicates St. Paul's acquaintance with the substance of St. Luke's Gospel. What passed at the meeting we can only reverently imagine. Before the Passion, the Lord had "turned and looked" on Peter with a glance of tender and sorrowful reproof (Luke 22:61). Now, we may believe, He met the repentant eager disciple with the full assurance of pardon.
