2. Luke 24:46-49 He said to them, "Scripture says that the Messiah would suffer & that he would come back to life on the 3rd day. Scripture also says that by the authority of Jesus people would be told to turn to God & change the way they think & act so that their sins will be forgiven. This would be told to people from all nations, beginning in the city of Jerusalem. You are witnesses to these things. I'm sending you what my Father promised. Wait here in the city until you receive power from heaven."

v46 – “Scripture says …”Manga Messiah: “Adapted from the Ancient Texts”Repeated 3 times in ch 24: Jesus is saying that this isn't supposed to be a surprise
v7, 26, 46 – “… that the Messiah would suffer & that he would come back to life on the third day.”You need to die before coming back to life
v47 – “… people would be told to turn to God & change the way they think & act so that their sins will be forgiven.”“This is the biggest problem facing the church today – actually any day. We simply can’t accept the fact that the news Jesus brought was truly “good” for others.” -Not death & destruction,vengeance,wrathWhat makes the Good News “good” for you?

I know you are Christian kids, pastor’s kids, always at church so much that your parents complain BUT what is YOUR experience w/ God?v47 – “… be told … be told …”Who is doing the telling?What does Jesus have in mind?v48 – “You are witnesses to these things.”What is your experience with Jesus?
v49 – "I'm sending you what my Father promised. Wait here in the city until you receive power from heaven." Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes to you.
