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.

Scars (The Gospel of Luke) Series || Church history is the story of different people serving the purposes of God in their unique generations. As we celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation we look at Joseph of Arimathea at the end of Luke 23, as well as Martin Luther, who both stood for truth in their own generations. Looking at both of these men we are reminded that despite all that happens in the world around us God continues to build His Church and He chooses to use those who stand for truth. And we pray we would be faithful in our own day as we seek to stand for truth in our culture and and that we will join the long line of saints, like Joseph of Arimathea, Martin Luther, and countless others, to say 'Here we stand, so help us God.'
