Devotions:A Crack of Light

This message of 'Jesus' alive again' is for your Sunday School, Devotions and Bible Study groups.


After the darkness of trouble a crack of light appears….

It was a miserable walk to Emmaus for Jesus’ two friends.
Now that he was dead it was the end of all their wonderful plans.

Last week they thought Jesus would save the world but now that was all gone.
It couldn’t get any worse.

Jesus really loved people. He was both strong and gentle.
With God’s power he made the sick well.
Even people who were dead.
Remember the boy who came back to life at his own funeral.
Now Jesus was dead.
But this person walking with them kept asking questions.
Didn’t he know anything?

Jesus’ body was in the cave—a tomb in the garden.
The stranger didn’t seem to understand that Jesus was dead.
But he told them interesting things about God’s plans so they invited him in to their house.
He seemed glad for a rest and he stopped to eat with them.

The next shock came just as they began to eat.
When the stranger said thanks to God for the food it was just like Jesus.
It was queer.
They looked at him strangely and then they knew it was true.
It was Jesus – he was alive!!
Just as they recognized him, he disappeared.

The person who could save the world was alive again.
