Scars (The Gospel of Luke) Series || Possibly the most important words ever spoken to mankind are found here in Luke 24:6: An angel tells the women Jesus 'is not here, but has risen.' The empty tomb is an integral part of the gospel. If Christ was not raised from the dead then our faith is in vain and we are still dead in our sins. CS Lewis once famously said 'Jesus Christ was either a liar, a lunatic, or He was who He said He was.' If Jesus did in fact rise from the dead then He is who He said He was and every single word of His should impact and shape every single aspect of our lives.
