On The Road...again Series
Contributed by Matthew Rogers on Apr 2, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: Though shattered, Jesus can put us back together again. A message for Easter based on the story of the Emmaus road.
Couldn’t put Humpty together again
But the King of Kings can put your life back together again.
Crushed hopes are given new life in Jesus.
Jesus can take what seems like the most dead and hopeless situation, and make it into something new.
If the road of your life is taking you somewhere other than you had hoped to go, you can trust Jesus turn things around. If you’ll allow it, He’ll put you on the road again.
Same road – different destinaton
Same road – different conversation
Same road – different obersvations
Same road – different realization
CONCLUSION
Here is the last question:
6. What would “getting on the road again” mean for you?
a) Finding a rest stop to spiritually refuel with Jesus.
Maybe you’ve been travelling fast and furious but it’s taking a toll on you spiritual life and you’re drifting from God. Hope is not lost – Jesus wants you to be re-energized for the journey.
b) Buckle up and rely on Jesus to get you safely through a dangerous stretch of road.
Perhaps you came here today by way of the road of uncertainty. Hope is not lost for you either. Jesus is alive and you can count on Him to show up in unexpected ways.
c) Deliver the news about Jesus to someone who would benefit from hearing it.
That’s what the two travelers on the road to Emmaus did. They got back on the road to be witnesses of Jesus’ resurrection. Maybe that’s what God is calling you to do today too.
d) Trust Jesus with the keys of your life for the first time.
If that’s you, we offer an invitation right now.
