Easter Event – Week 2 | From Information to Transformation
In this week’s message, we step into Luke 24 and walk alongside the two disciples on the road to Emmaus—a moment filled with confusion, disappointment, and ultimately, divine revelation.
These disciples had hoped Jesus would be the One… but because He didn’t meet their expectations, they lost hope. Sound familiar? At some point, we’ve all experienced hope deferred. Yet even after hearing reports of the empty tomb, they still couldn’t see what God was doing right in front of them.
Why? Because sometimes our perspective limits our ability to recognize God’s power.
Jesus begins to unfold the Scriptures, revealing how everything—from Moses to the prophets—pointed to Him. What we often call “types and shadows” comes alive as we see glimpses of Christ through figures like Moses, Joseph, Boaz, Esther, and Hosea. This is more than theology—it’s a reminder that God has always had a redemptive plan.
But the turning point wasn’t just information—it was encounter.
As they urged Jesus to stay, they leaned into His presence. In that moment, we see a powerful truth: we weren’t created for occasional connection, but daily dependence. As Isaiah 26:3 reminds us, God keeps in perfect peace the one whose mind is stayed—fully dependent—on Him.
Then comes the breakthrough.
In the breaking of bread, their eyes are opened.
And in Luke 24:32, they declare, “Did not our hearts burn within us?” What started as confusion turned into clarity. What began as information became transformation.
That’s the invitation for all of us.
Not just to know about Jesus—but to encounter Him in a way that sets our hearts on fire.
