Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0160A recorded on April 13, 1980 teaching from Luke 24:30-53 – Jesus is Alive!
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens emphasizes the profound significance of Jesus’ resurrection and its implications for believers. He highlights the initial despair of the disciples, transformed into eager determination to share the news after Jesus appeared to them, especially on the road to Emmaus and to Simon Peter. Stevens stresses that true faith isn’t merely an emotional experience but a firm belief in Jesus’ physical resurrection, evidenced by His wounds and ability to eat. Furthermore, he underscores that Jesus’ ascension allows Him to continually intercede for humanity and empowers believers to be witnesses of this transformative truth to the world.
