Putting The Pieces Together
Luke 24:13–35
Pastor Philip Miller

Around the holidays, our family does a large jigsaw puzzle together—a chaotic mess that slowly turns into a beautiful picture. In Luke 24:13–35, two disciples are walking the road to Emmaus, trying to make sense of the recent events in Jerusalem: Jesus’ death and the strange news of His missing body. These followers are heartbroken and confused, struggling with six “scattered pieces” of their experience:

The Scattered Pieces
1. Mighty Prophet
2. Condemned and Crucified
3. Hoped for Redeemer
4. Hopeless Reality
5. Women’s Testimony
6. Incomplete Evidence

The Big Picture
• The necessity of every disparate piece.
• The Bible is a mosaic revealing Jesus.

The Centerpiece
• Jesus is the centerpiece who brings it all together.

Takeaway: Could it be that Jesus is the centerpiece you’re looking for?
