Series: At the Table with Jesus
He is Risen - and what did he do first?
April 20, 2025 | Mike Matousek
He is Risen! He is Risen Indeed! These are the words that have been repeated by Christians on Easter Sunday for centuries. What did Jesus do after he left his tomb that day? Surely he had important things to accomplish, and significant people to see. Wait, what? He spent the whole rest of the day walking with two people on a road outside Jerusalem? This incident teaches us much about who He was and what He came to accomplish.

Series Information
Luke 7:34 says, “The Son of Man came eating and drinking.” Indeed, a major feature of Luke’s Gospel is that Jesus is usually going to a meal, at a meal, or coming from a meal. If you love to eat, Luke is your Gospel. But wait a minute. The meals of Jesus represent something bigger. They represent a new world, a new kingdom, a new outlook. But they also give that new reality substance. Jesus’s meals are not just symbols; they’re application. They’re not just pictures; they’re the real thing in miniature. They’re social occasions. They represent friendship, community, and welcome. In them Jesus shows us how to live, how to teach, and how to respond.
