Tuesday Bible Study | 2025 LCMS Youth Gathering

Therefore, Let Us Endure Like No Other The final leg of Bible study acknowledges the reality of weariness—both physically, on the last day of the Gathering, and spiritually, until the day Jesus returns. Using the Road to Emmaus text as a guide, this study explores the disappointment and weariness of Jesus’ disciples when their hopes seemed to be lost. Yet, Jesus draws near to them, pointing them to the story of His endurance and placing them within the larger story of God’s enduring faithfulness through the ages. What Jesus does in this episode reflects what we have been learning in our first two days of Bible study. Jesus still strengthens us today—He draws near and reveals Himself in an undeniable way as we gather and break bread together. We continue gathering together, especially as we see the day of Jesus’ return drawing nearer. That day will be a day of transformation, when the need to endure will give way to eternal joy. In the meantime, we encourage one another not to give up—but to keep enduring.
