Lesson 145: Knowing and Worshiping Jesus (Luke 24:50-53)

The final moments of Jesus on earth provide a perfectly beautiful conclusion to His time with His disciples. It ended with His blessing over them and their joyful worship of Him. This was the humble beginning to what God would soon do through His New Testament people to expand His kingdom from Jerusalem, to Judea, to Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. In this final message over the Gospel of Luke from Pastor Daniel, he challenges the church to ask a couple of key questions about Christ. 1) Do the disciples grasp who Jesus is? 2) Do we grasp who Jesus is? As we contemplate the King’s kingdom being established, he emphasizes, “May the worship that resulted from [the disciples’] grasp of who Jesus is be true of us as well.”
