Summary

The last image the disciples have of Jesus is not anger or distance. It is his hands raised over them in blessing as he ascends. In this sermon from Luke 24:44–53, Rev Andrew Irwin explores how the risen Christ opens the Scriptures, sends his people as witnesses, promises power from on high, and takes his throne — and why, in a world full of uncertainty and weariness, the church can still return with great joy.
