Pastor Gail Whitcome Linstrom – “The Cross Is Our Door” – Verdugo Community Church April 16, 2023

In her sermon, “The Cross Is Our Door,” Pastor Gail continues the Easter story with the Luke 24 account of the encounter two followers have with Jesus on the Road to Emmaus. Although they are heartened by the women’s news that Jesus is alive, they are still dismayed by the crucifixion. Jesus reminds them of the Scriptural prophesies about the Messiah. In the first meal after the resurrection, Jesus reveals himself to the two in the breaking of the bread, who then hurry to return to the other disciples with the news of their own encounter with the risen Lord. This message further affirms the Easter message that Jesus is alive! The cross is our doorway to live a resurrected life of joy and power on earth being guided by the presences of our Living Lord.
