A Sermon on Luke 24:36-48
Preached on the 3rd Sunday of Easter, April 15, 2018 by Rev. Stephen Silverthorne
When most people think about faith, they think about spiritual things. Yet, the most central belief in Christian faith is that Jesus rose after dying on the cross. Why does it matter that Jesus was resurrected, and didn't just return as a spirit? This sermon explores how Jesus' bodily resurrection points us to the importance of our own bodies and how we can serve God well in our daily lives.
Sermon Highlights

• The Gospels stress that Jesus' body was resurrected, not just his spirit
• The disciples had to relate to Jesus as he is, not just like they wanted him to be
• Modern people are tempted to retreat into fantasy world of the internet and other entertainments where things are what we want them to be
• Jesus' resurrection encourages us to love ourselves and the world as they are, not just as we want them to be
• So, use your body to make God's world more beautiful
