 *NOTE**: (2010-12-31) - 24:33-35 - *Can you imagine the excitement as these
two groups caught up with one another their news? Peter had by now seen
Jesus. He appeared to his denying disciple first - to restore him to faith
after his terrible lapse. In the Gospel of John - just as Peter denied Him
thrice, He asked Peter if he truly loved Him. The first two questions - no
problem. It was the third time, when instead of asking if he had
aGAp*e*love for His Lord - He asked Peter, who had answered His first
two questions
by averring that he was Jesus' friend (phiL*E*). Now the third time Jesus
came down to Peter's level, and asked - Are you even my friend (phiL*E*)?
This cut Peter to the deep and the quick. He aggrievedly answered - Lord I
may not be at the level where I can love you with aGAp*e* love - but - truly
- I *am* your friend (phiL*E*).


 Jesus knows how to restore us in private - and how to really make us see
our true state, even if it hurts supremely.


 24:36-43 - Now Jesus appears to all of His disciples at once, and by His
Resurrection appearance causes a deep fright to them. He allays their fears
by eating in front of them. We *will* all eat in heaven with Jesus in
resurrection bodies like His. This is a surprise to many. Do angels eat?
Apparently they do! The two angels with the Lord who visited Abraham before
the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah - ate with the Lord when Abraham
offered them hospitality. Then there is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in
heaven yet to come! And Israel in the wilderness for 40 years ate Manna -
angel's food!


 24:44-49 - is the Great Commission in Luke's words. It complements what
Matthew and Mark have written. It is important to note 24:49 at this point.
They were to tarry in Jerusalem for the promise of the Father - the Gift

(d*o*-reA) of the Holy Spirit - who would come exactly on the Day of
Pentecost! All of God's timings and appointments are important to note. This
exact fulfillment was probably a surprise at the time to the apostles and
the 120 - for Jesus did not specify how long they were to tarry. Since that
special Day of Pentecost following Jesus' Ascension - it is not necessary to
tarry for the Promise of the Father. As soon as believers follow the
Peter-Package of Acts 2:38, immediately with the laying of of hands the Gift
can be received. See Acts 8, Acts 9, Acts 10, And Acts 19:1-6 - and we see
that the apostolic practice was to baptize immediately following conversion
through repentance and faith, and laying on of hands for the Holy Spirit.
The laying on of hands did not take place in Acts 10 with Gentile believers,
because Peter and his Jewish friends had at that time no idea that God would
receive Gentiles into His Kingdom just like Jews! So God had to give His
promise of the Spirit to these Roman Gentile believers preceding baptism!
And then Peter was called on the carpet by the other apostles of Jerusalem
when they heard that he entered a Gentile home, and baptized the converts
after God gave the the Holy Spirit - just as He did the Jews at the
beginning in Acts 2.


 At this point - to do a Greek Word Study on the gift of the Spirit -
“D*o*-reA”
in Acts 2:38 - will be most rewarding and instructive. It appears but 11
times in the NT, and each time refers to the Promise of the Father, the *
Gift* of the Holy Spirit - which Jesus promised in John 13-17.


 It is the DUna-min of Luke 24:49, that Jesus said would prepare the 12 and
all believers, to minister with “signs following.”


 24:50-53 - The Ascension of Jesus is extremely important to note in
connection with leading events in His life: His Incarnation through Virgin
Birth; His Bar Mitzvah at 12; His baptism at 30; The Holy Spirit as a dove
following baptism; His testing by Satan in the wilderness; His return to
civilization in power following this testing; His Transfiguration; His
Death, Resurrection, Ascension, and Giving of the Holy Spirit - all these
point out critical times in the life of our Lord. We await now His soon
return!


 For me - this day and this last half of Luke 24, completes the rough draft
of the 260 chapters of the Interlinear Greek NT - God's Bible Numeric NT.
Please join with me in prayer for its proof-reading and printing in 2011.
