Luke 23:26-24:15 – Words That Seem Like Nonsense – 0940A
Description
Rev. Cyril A. Stevens – Sermon 0940A recorded on September 30, 1984 teaching from Luke 23:26-24:15 – Words That Seem Like Nonsense.
Pastor Cyril A. Stevens explores the resurrection of Jesus as chronicled in the Gospel of Luke, focusing on the disciples’ initial disbelief of the women’s testimony, which they dismissed as “nonsense.” Pastor Stevens uses the historical context of Henry VIII’s magnificent “Nonsuch Park” to illustrate the word “nonsense” meaning “no such,” emphasizing that the resurrection was an unparalleled, senseless-sounding event to those without faith. He highlights the fulfillment of God’s Word and the empty grave as the two core truths the women discovered, contrasting their faithfulness with the disciples’ initial fear and doubt. Furthermore, Stevens encourages believers to maintain a common union with Christ by remembering His death and resurrection, particularly on the Lord’s Day, and to accept Jesus as the sole bridge from a sinful existence to eternal life.
