Title: Living in the Reality of God
Scripture: Luke 24:36-49
Series: Resurrection to Pentecost (3 of 8))
Author: Tim Melton

They were saddened because they had believed that this Jesus was going to be the redeemer of Israel.
At that point Jesus had commented on their lack of knowledge of God's W ...
