Lesson Five: The message of the "Suffering of Jesus" Text: Luke 24:44-49 Intro: Last week we discussed the ultimate motivation for doing missions = Jesus. We saw that we are motivated by the life of Jesus, today we will see that God motivates us by the suffering of Jesus. In our text, Jesus motivated His disciples by reminding them of His suffering. 1. Jesus said the Pentateuch, the prophets and the psalms foretold of His sufferings. VS44. See VS 26-27 = No doubt He recalled these Old Testament texts: • The Passover lamb. Ref: Ex. 12:21-23; Mk 14:12 • The serpent on the tree. Ref: Numb. 21:9 • His agony on the cross. Ref: Psalm 22 = future perfect present tense • The suffering servant. Ref: Isa. 50:6; 52:14; 53:1-7 2. Jesus said the truth of His suffering is to be preached in all the world. VS47 • This is the purpose for the power of the Holy Spirit. VS49; Ref: Acts 1:8 • This was the message of the New Testament church. Acts 2:22-23; 1 Cor. 15:1-5;Phil. 2:8; Heb. 2:9; Acts 8:32, 34-35 3. Jesus said those who witness His suffering are accountable to tell of it. VS48 • This is the "great" commission. Ref: Mark 16:15, Matt. 23.19-20 • The disciples witnessed Jesus' suffering. 1 John 1:2-3; Ref Matt. 27 • The Scripture says all those who know of Jesus' suffering are to tell it. 2 Cor. 5:19-21; Heb. 12:1-2 – we know ref: James 4:17 Conclusion: To see and not say is a crime, to know and not tell is sin. Surely the life and suffering of Jesus motivates us to do missions!

You've probably heard the saying “Money talks.” What would money say to you if it wanted to be your idol? And what might God say in contrast?1.     Money says: “Look at how much more others have than you.”  This counterfeit god uses envy to enslave us, driving us to want more. Proverbs 14:30 says, “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.”God says: “Be content with and grateful for what you have.” The antidote to envy is gratitude. 2.     Money says: “You don't have a greed problem.” Money insists, “You don't have enough money to be called greedy. Only rich people are greedy.” Yet Jesus warned an audience of mostly poor people, “Watch out! Be on guard against all kinds of greed.”  God says: “Recognize that the tendency toward greed is a constant challenge.” The antidote to greed is generosity. 3.     Money says: “Worry about me!”  We have the illusion that we won't worry about money if we have more money. But the fact is, the more money we have, the more we think about it and worry about it. God says: “Trust me as your provision and source.” There is a linkage between seeking God's Kingdom and knowing God's provision. 4.     Money says: “Giving may be a good idea, but you can't afford it.” One of the biggest lies money tells is that if you had more money, you'd be more generous. But statistics show that people with lower incomes give a higher percentage of their money than people with higher incomes. God says: “Give, not because you can afford to, but because you can't afford not to.”  If you don't start understanding the role of generosity when you don't have much, you will not grow into it when you do have much. 5.     Money says: “If you just keep getting more, eventually you'll have enough.” But it's like a treadmill of acquisition; we never get there. We never reach “enough.”God says: “The antidote for consumerism is compassion.” Only when you choose to spend on behalf of others instead of on yourself will your heart begin to change. Text: Luke 16:13; 12:15-34; 19:1-8  Originally recorded on December 12, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

As the disciples see Jesus regularly going off to pray, one day after Jesus is finished, one of the disciples says, "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus then gives the disciples what we know as the "Lord's Prayer." This has been our go-to structure of prayer for a very long time. The Lord's Prayer pretty much covers everything we could ever possibly need: forgiveness, daily bread; and when we pray for these things, we pray "thy will be done." In all things, we pray according to God's will. Even Jesus did this in the Garden of Gethsemane. Praying for specific things, multiple times, always according to God's will. And God's will is done for us, especially as we look to the cross, and the empty tomb.

Jesus often speaks in parables, which we describe as earthly stories with a heavenly meaning. The earthly story is something that we can connect with and understand, something that would or could happen in our world. Yet, behind that story, there is a deeper meaning, something more that is meant, something more that is said. In the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we often want to think of ourselves as the Good Samaritan, when in reality, we are more like the priest, the Levite, and most often the one who is left for dead, and needs to be rescued, lifted up, cared for and brought back to health. Thanks be to God that Jesus is our Good Samaritan!

He Is Risen: The Easter Invitation Luke 24:36–49 | Easter Sunday Message | Flourishing Grace Church Speaker: Pastor Benjer McVeigh This Easter message from Flourishing Grace Church invites you to explore one of the most powerful post-resurrection moments in Scripture: Jesus appearing to His disciples in Luke 24:36–49. In the wake of grief, fear, and doubt, Jesus steps into the room—not just as a symbol or a memory, but in bodily resurrection power—and speaks peace over them. In this sermon, Pastor Benjer walks us through three personal and transformational invitations Jesus makes—then and now: An Invitation to Examine The disciples were startled, frightened, and filled with doubt. But Jesus doesn't shame them or push them away. Instead, He invites them to see and touch His wounds. To eat with Him. To experience His real, risen presence. If you've ever struggled with questions or disbelief, this is where Jesus meets you: not with a lecture, but with an invitation to come closer and see for yourself. An Invitation to Bring Your Questions to the Word Jesus opens their minds to the Scriptures—showing them how the Law, Prophets, and Psalms all point to His suffering, death, and resurrection. Questions aren't disqualifying. In fact, asking good questions is part of faithful discipleship. If you've ever been told not to question, or that faith requires blind belief, Jesus models a better way: one rooted in God's Word and God's patience. An Invitation to Witness Jesus commissions these same doubting, fearful followers to share the good news with the world. Not because they're perfect, but because they've experienced His grace. To witness simply means to tell others what you've seen and experienced—and Jesus sends His Spirit to empower us to do just that. This message is for you if: You've ever felt like faith was for people who “have it all together.” You have questions, doubts, or past experiences that are hard to reconcile with faith. You believe in Jesus, but you've kept that belief private or quiet. You're wondering whether God could use someone like you. Pastor Benjer reminds us: the resurrection is a historical event with eternal significance. And if Jesus really rose from the dead, then everything changes—including what's possible in your life. About the Text: Luke 24:36–49 tells the story of Jesus appearing to His disciples after His resurrection. Though they are filled with fear and disbelief, Jesus responds with peace, patience, and purpose. This moment is more than reassurance—it's a commissioning. A declaration that this message must go to all nations, and it begins with those who were once unsure. Quotable Moments from the Message: “If the resurrection didn't happen, we are of all people most to be pitied.” “Jesus doesn't say, ‘Get your act together first.' He says, ‘Come and see.'” “The Bible knows nothing of a follower of Jesus who isn't telling others about Jesus.” “Jesus doesn't shut down our doubts—He invites us to explore them through His Word.” Next Steps: If today's message stirred something in you—whether it's a question, a renewed curiosity, or a desire to follow Jesus—we'd love to connect.

BIG IDEA-“Jesus will not be branded as a pushover. Instead, He is the One who pushes through our expectations, desires, and self-serving nature.” Questions: BRANDING JESUS into a better way: Neglect → Justice – Practice justice and love for God. (Micah 6:8) Pride → Humility – Seek to serve rather than be honored. (Philippians 2:3) Corruption → Integrity – Be pure in heart and actions. (Psalm 24:4) Burden → Compassion – Help others instead of weighing them down. (Galatians 6:2) Hypocrisy → Sincerity – Live authentically in faith and action.
