HIGH FIVE! (GYM, PREPARATIONS, HERSHEY, ROTARY BOARD MEETING)

Luke 24:44-53 is a powerful passage that marks the culmination of Jesus’ earthly ministry and the beginning of the disciples’ mission. In this moment, Jesus explains how his life, death, and resurrection fulfill the prophecies of the Old Testament, emphasizing the divine plan at work. He opens the minds of his disciples to understand the Scriptures, showing them that everything written about him in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms had to be fulfilled.
This passage also highlights the transition from Jesus’ physical presence to the empowerment of his followers. His ascension into heaven is not an absence but an exaltation—establishing him as Lord and Messiah. The disciples, rather than mourning his departure, respond with joy and worship, returning to Jerusalem to continue blessing God. This moment signifies the beginning of their mission to spread his teachings, a calling that continues to resonate with believers today.
