The diversity seen in the people who came to Jesus should be encouraging to us. The educated and powerful came. So did the meek and lowly nobody’s. They all came with one similarity, spiritual emptiness! They asked questions that were answered. They made requests that were granted. Miracles were performed by the Son of God on behalf of some. Without exception every honest and obedient seeker’s request was honored by Jesus. They all experienced the grace of God.

There is a man who enters the final scene of Jesus’ life
He is only minutes away from dying. We know him as the: Thief on the Cross

For what do you hunger and thirst? Are you hungry and thirsty for the food and water that endure to eternal life?

God reminds us that we often hunger for the wrong things. He is still calling upon us to seek Him and listen to Him; to desire Him and His word.

How many times have  you heard, “You need to change the way you think?” As a Christian you are bombarded daily with this thought because if you don’t change you will be on the wrong side of history. Are we to change for the sake of change? Should we change because our current society/culture is changing? Or should there be a greater purpose behind our need to change?

There have been many influential men throughout the history of the world. Many of these people were powerful individuals who possessed an ability to draw people to themselves and influence them either in a positive or negative manner. Many of them hold this influence because of their idealism or they use the power of words to influence societies, nations, governments, or eve small groups of people.

I want to talk to you today about a man who influenced men for the sake of Jesus Christ. He is mentioned only briefly in the New Testament. He is not an obscure individual, neither is he prominent…

Have you ever asked, “Why is the book of Ruth in the bible?” It is a beautiful Hebrew short story.

In it is a story of the devotion of a Moabite widow named Ruth. It is a love story and a tragedy that has a fairy tale ending. And it is only 85 verses in length. However, the book is more than just a love story.

Have you ever been in a position where someone asks you for a reference to get a job and you find yourself in an awkward position? You don’t want to lie and telling the truth will hurt them.

Sometimes we give good recommendations and and there are times we can’t. However, today I believe there is one we can give a glowing recommendation, without any reservations and I believe that we cannot say enough good things about Him.

Have you ever known a child of God who went through everyday life looking like they were weaned on a sour pickle? They seem like they are totally useless for any good work. This is especially true if things are not running smoothly in their life.

Then you have others who are completely the opposite. They’re joyful, steadfast, always smiling and doing something for someone else. It doesn’t matter how rough the road of life is to them.

Why the difference? I believe that the joyful servant of God has found the secret expressed in the scriptures.

Today is the Lord’s Day. The day of his resurrection. We remember The Lord’s death burial and resurrection every first day of the week.

I want us to look a text this morning, and I am going to let the author do the preaching for me. The text begins in Luke 22:39. I can’t preach it better than Luke wrote it. So let’s read the account of Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection today.
