The sermon examines the encounter of the disciples with the risen Christ on the evening of the resurrection. We see their initial fear, doubt, and struggle to believe in the physical resurrection despite compelling evidence, reflecting the human tendency toward unbelief. Jesus addresses their doubts through his physical appearance, while emphasizing the necessity of understanding Scripture. This sermon shows that true enlightenment comes not from worldly rationalism but from God opening minds to grasp the Scriptures, revealing Christ’s identity, suffering, and resurrection. This text calls us to seek God’s word and Spirit to overcome ignorance and sin, urging doubters to investigate Scripture, those with partial understanding to seek deeper conviction, and believers to respond with joy and worship.
