Pastor Q reflects on Luke 24:13-35, the story of Jesus meeting two disciples on the road to Emmaus on the day of His resurrection. PQ highlights the disciples' deep sorrow and confusion after Jesus' death, explaining that their misplaced hopes for a political Messiah blinded them from understanding God's true plan. Jesus, though unrecognized, walks with them and patiently teaches them how all Scripture points to Him—His suffering, death, and resurrection were necessary to bring salvation. PQ emphasizes that the Bible is not merely a book of rules or heroes but a grand story centered on Jesus. As Jesus broke bread with the disciples, their eyes were opened, and they realized who He was, illustrating how understanding Scripture leads to recognizing Christ personally.

In PQ’s sermon titled "He's Not Here, But He Has Risen," he walks through the emotional and spiritual journey from Jesus’ crucifixion to the resurrection, highlighting the significance of the “in-between” day—Saturday—as a time of deep despair, confusion, and waiting. He emphasizes the faithfulness of the women who followed Jesus, their role as the first witnesses to the resurrection, and the powerful moment when the angel declared, “He is not here, but has risen,” reminding them of Jesus’ earlier words. PQ underscores how the resurrection confirmed Jesus’ identity and fulfilled God’s promises, turning what seemed like a hopeless end into the beginning of new life. The resurrection is the game-changer of Christianity—proof that Jesus is who He claimed to be, and that His followers are called not just to remember, but to believe, proclaim, and live in the truth of the risen Christ.
