"From Fear to Joy" (Luke 24:36-53)
(Video) (PDF)

Happy Easter! Today, the whole world is celebrating Easter, the resurrection of Jesus. However, when we look at reality around us, perhaps many of us feel that darkness is now covering the world. Lamentation and prayer may seem the most fitting for these days we live in. This too may be important. But Easter tells us that we do have joy. In the midst of total darkness, Easter reminds us that morning is here and we have hope. Today, let's think about Easter, from the latter half of Luke 24, under the theme "From Fear to Joy.”

1. A Greater Plan
2. Philip Met an Ethiopian Eunuch
Read this sermon....

For Self-Reflection and Small Groups
1. Read Acts 8:26-39. Philip’s ministry in Samaria had just started. It seemed to be very successful. Then he was told "Go south to the road --the desert road-- that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza" (v. 26). If you were him, what kind of thoughts might you have?
2. The Ethiopian eunuch was considered to be impure, disgraceful, forever cut off from the covenant community (Lev 21:18-20; Deut 23:1), but he was saved. What makes you think someone is excluded from God's forgiveness and acceptance into His family?
3. Meditate on Acts 8:32-33. What does the Lord speak to you? How will you respond?
