Why does Luke hold back the resurrected Jesus from this scene, focusing instead on an empty tomb, two angels, and a group of stunned, grieving women? Dr. John unpacks the discovery at the tomb and the disciples' skeptical reaction to the women's report, showing how the real climax isn't just seeing Jesus alive — it's realizing that everything he ever promised has come true.

The End of the Beginning: Everyone knows how this story ends — Jesus is crucified, buried, and rises again. But in this 15-part series through Luke 23-24, Dr. John Neufeld shows why these familiar chapters still reward careful study, tracing the trials before Pilate and Herod and the road to the cross. Along the way, he uncovers details unique to Luke's account that reveal what kind of King Jesus truly is.

Today is the second part of yesterday's message on Live in the Light. Pastor Robbie Symons reminds us that our motives will drive our mission. In 2 Corinthians 5:11-15, the apostle Paul reveals what moved him: the fear of the Lord, integrity of heart, the love of Christ, and the call to no longer live for oneself. We are called to mimic Paul, whose life was not driven by outward approval, but by eternal perspective. Join us as we consider what truly motivates our hearts—and how the love of Jesus transforms our lives and purpose.
