Timothy Keller Sermons Podcast by Gospel in Life

Easter is too marvelous for words, but we’re going to try. 

Luke 24 is an account of the resurrection: from the morning when the empty tomb was discovered, to the middle of the day when Jesus appeared on the road to Emmaus, to the evening when Jesus appeared to his disciples. And in that evening account, we see that Jesus said a number of things to his disciples.

We can learn three things about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from what happens that evening: 1) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is a paradigm-shattering historical event, 2) the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the key to understanding the message of the entire Bible, and 3) the resurrection is the strongest message of hope possible.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 20, 2014. Series: Knowing Jesus. Scripture: Luke 24:36-49.

For centuries now, on the Sunday before Easter, the church has observed the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into Jerusalem just days before he was crucified. It’s called Palm Sunday. 

What does Palm Sunday mean? It means Jesus is king, and it’s important to see that’s not just an abstract proposition. Palm Sunday is about this: you can’t know Jesus Christ unless you know him as king. He can’t change your life unless you understand him as king. You can’t even understand who he is unless you understand him as king. 

Luke 19 teaches us 1) Jesus is the true king, 2) Jesus is the weak king, and 3) how he can be your king.

Christianity gives us resources to help us live in a world that’s hard to live in. And in Luke 5, we see a resource we wouldn’t immediately think of as one — that is, that when Jesus calls us, he sends us out into the world to serve.

Serving other people is draining, but it’s also strengthening. Because if you see that you should live for your neighbor’s fulfillment rather than your own fulfillment, paradoxically, that becomes a very fulfilling life.

Jesus sends us out in three ways: 1) he sends us with our faith out into our work, 2) he asks us to take our faith out to the marginalized of society, and 3) he asks us to go out and help change people’s hearts toward God.

When you’re in the wilderness, how do you handle the trials, the difficulties, and the temptations?

In Luke 4, we have a famous passage about the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus is assaulted by the Devil, and he deals with it through the Word of God. We’re going to look at how Jesus uses Scripture, and how, in a practical way, we can too.

This text shows us 1) the depth and complexity of evil, 2) some of the strategies of evil, and 3)  how to defeat evil using Scripture.

The raising of Lazarus is the seventh and climactic of Jesus’ miraculous signs in the Gospel of John. John says Jesus did many miracles, but these seven particularly revealed who Jesus was and what he came to do. And this one is probably the most famous. 

Jesus especially loved Mary, Martha, and Lazarus—there was a special friendship there. But Lazarus gets sick when Jesus is away, and Lazarus is dead by the time Jesus gets there. Everyone’s mourning, and that’s when this account begins. 

Looking at this passage, we learn 1) about who Jesus is, from when he’s with the sisters, and 2) about what Jesus came to do, from when he’s with Lazarus.

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on March 2, 2014. Series: Seeing Jesus. Scripture: John 11:18-44.
