This is the audio from the April 5, 2026 sermon, “Lessons From the Road: Walking With the LORD!”, shared by Tom Lemler at the Deer Run Church of Christ.
Luke 24:13-35
“I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.”
Philippians 3:10-11 (NIV)
As we join others in walking the road with Jesus, we find our self on a walk with the . . .
-
Loss: Luke 24:13-21
- We walk the road with the Lord as we share with Him the things we count as loss. The followers of Jesus were downcast and broken-hearted as they made their way home. The loss of Jesus was difficult for them to understand and accept. As Jesus walked with them, unknown to them, He listened to their hearts and could understand their loss and sorrow. We have a Savior that is near to the broken-hearted and joins in noticing our loss.
-
Observation: Luke 24:22-24
- We walk the road with the Lord when we walk a road of observation, even when our observation isn’t complete. These followers of Jesus relayed the stories of what they had been told and of what had been seen by others. Their desire to belief was short-circuited by observations which simply didn’t make sense. Jesus joined them on the road and listened to what had been observed so that He could speak truth in a meaningful way.
-
Revelation: Luke 24:25-32
- We walk the road with the Lord when we walk a road of revelation as Jesus takes our loss and observations to reveal Himself in the midst of them. When the time was right, Jesus first revealed through Scripture the truth of what had just transpired in Jerusalem. Then, he broke bread with the men and revealed Himself in a way which left no doubt. We walk in this revelation when we allow our faith to grow through the power of God’s Word and His Spirit.
-
Duty: Luke 24:33-35
- We walk the road with the Lord when we walk a road of duty . . . a duty that we are compelled by desire to fulfill. As Jesus joins these two followers on the road in the midst of their loss and observations, He reveals Himself in a way that sends them immediately back to where they had come from so they could share the good news that Jesus was alive. In similar fashion, we have a duty and responsibility when we walk the road with the Lord to share the gospel in every opportunity that God gives us.
Today, how will you walk with Jesus on this road with the LORD?
