Sunday Sermon – April 5, 2026 – “Our Ascended King” – Luke 24:36-53

April 5, 2026

Our Ascended King
Luke 24:36-53
March 29, 2026
Dr. Kelly B. Burton

Johann Sebastian Bach signed the music he composed with three letters, SDG, meaning Soli Deo Gloria. This Latin phrase means Glory to God Alone. As we celebrate another resurrection Sunday, we echo those same sentiments. What God promises He brings to pass. Because of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah, believers have three Easter promises: A New Body, A New Understanding, and A New Beginning.

Main Idea: Because Jesus overcame death, we are promised a second chance.

Three Easter Promises for those who believe:

Luke 24:36-43 A New Body
“Peace to you!”

Luke 24:44-49 A New Understanding
“Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.”

Luke 24:50-53 A New Beginning
V52: witness, v53: worship.
