Sermon - Easter 3 - Luke 24:13-35 - The Stranger Who Saves
/A time has arrived for the Church of our Savior to be refined by the fire of COVID-19. “I have tried you in the furnace of affliction” Isaiah 48:10. The peripheral things are going to fall away during this time, because they are weak and can’t withstand the fire. What will remain will be pure. This things that we cling to will prove to be the most important to us. Through this time, the Lord will refine us, His people, for service to His glory.
“And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight” Luke 24:31, He vanished from their sight, but not from their hearing: for Paul says in Romans 10:17“faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ”.
