Luke 24: 52 Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.
This chapter starts with the women at the tomb, and it ends after Jesus has appeared to the 11. He has talked about his destiny and how it was fulfilled. He eats fish with them after breaking bread with Simon and Cleopas. Then he ascends into heaven, and they begin a new mission.
I wanted the summary, the real point of the chapter. This was it, in my eyes. The church is established on the truth that death has been defeated. Jesus wasn't the ghost they feared. He was the risen Lord. That's certainly worthy of worship!
Prayer: I worship with great joy, too, the resurrected Christ who died for me. I am hopeful, even in the face of the grief caused by the death of my dear mother, because I know we will be together in paradise with our Lord and his Father. Praise be to God!
Amen
