September 24, 2011 A Moment for You

A Moment for You
Read Luke 24

Luke 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.

THE DISCIPLES are hiding in a room, uncertain about their future, likely wondering if they, like their Master, will soon be crucified or stoned. Fear grips them in the gut!
Then their loving Master appears to remove their fear. He is indeed the risen Son of God. As he speaks with them, they for the first time truly trust that Jesus is the one who saves.
How often had the disciples heard Jesus teach the Scriptures? Many times they had heard his message; and yet, they did not comprehend. Only when the resurrected Jesus opened their eyes did they know.
Have you heard Jesus’ message but still hold back from trusting him, especially with the big things in life? Let go of your doubt. You can trust that Jesus’ truths will remove life’s gut-gripping fears.
Yes, he enters into your presence in the midst of life’s most awful moments and says, “I’m here to save you. Don’t be afraid.”
That moment changed the disciples’ lives. Fear disappeared and trust entered their hearts. That same moment awaits you and will change your life, too.


Pause and Consider: how good it feels to trust someone completely. You can trust Jesus that much.
