Scripture
Luke 24:36-48
While they were saying these things, Jesus himself stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” They were terrified and afraid. They thought they were seeing a ghost.
Jesus said to them, “Why are you startled? Why are doubts arising in your hearts? Look at my hands and my feet. It’s really me! Touch me and see, for a ghost doesn’t have flesh and bones like you see I have.”
As he said this, he showed them his hands and feet. Because they were wondering and questioning in the midst of their happiness, he said to them, “Do you have anything to eat?” They gave him a piece of baked fish. Taking it, he ate it in front of them.
Jesus said to them, “These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law from Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”
Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures. He said to them, “This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and a change of heart and life for the forgiveness of sins must be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.
Psalm 4
Answer me when I cry out, my righteous God!
Set me free from my troubles!
Have mercy on me!
Listen to my prayer!
How long, you people,will my reputation be insulted?
How long will you continue to love what is worthless and go after lies?
All: Selah
Know this: the Lord takes personal care of the faithful. The Lord will hear me when I cry out to him.
So be afraid, and don’t sin! Think hard about it in your bed and weep over it!
All: Selah
Bring righteous offerings, and trust the Lord!
Many people say, “We can’t find goodness anywhere. Shine the light of your face on us, Lord!
But you have filled my heart with more joy than when their wheat and wine are everywhere!
I will lie down and fall asleep in peace because you alone, Lord, let me live in safety.
All: Amen
