Scripture Union Daily Guide 14th May 2026 – Outline
This is one of the several accounts of Jesus’ appearance to the disciples after His resurrection, before His ascension (Acts 1:3). Read Luke 24:36-39 again. Observe the reactions of the disciples to His sudden appearance. If you were one of the disciples, how would you have reacted? Jesus used the opportunity to confirm the truth of His bodily resurrection and to dispel the doubts of the disciples.
This information is also very fundamental to the validity of the Christian faith (Romans 10:9-10; 1 Corinthians 15:16-19). Jesus resurrected with a real human body but a changed, glorified and immortal body (see 1 Corinthians 15:42-50). What other proofs did Jesus give in Luke 24:40-42, to show that He was not a ghost?
The explanation that Jesus gave in Luke 24:44-47 emphasizes the importance of studying our Bible if we would be effective witnesses for Him in our generation. We also need to understand the Scriptures and the power of the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:45,49; cf. Acts 1:8). Luke 24:50-53, is the account of Jesus’ ascension (Cf: Acts 1:9-11). But of what significance is the ascension to our salvation? See John 14:1; John 16:7; Hebrews 10:12-14.
