Luke presents the burial and resurrection of Jesus, offering the women that had followed from Galilee as capable witnesses of the entire scene. They knew Jesus and watched as he was buried, placed into the tomb on Friday before the Sabbath. On Sunday morning, very early, it was these same women that went to anoint the body of Jesus and found the tomb empty. The death of Jesus seems to put to a devasting end the plan of God - when in reality, it was always part of the plan.  Jesus and the Scriptures prophesied it would occur and it did! Jesus was buried and rose, just as he said. The Good News, the Gospel, is the fact that Jesus fulfilled the purpose of God as the substitute for humanity.  He died for our sins and he rose victorious. Through this offer of rescue from sin, you can freed!  Through Jesus, you can be made right with God. Have you accepted the offer of rescue from Jesus? You can today!

Luke writes to strengthen believers, to address misperceptions of unbelievers, while emphasizing the divine and perfect human aspects of Jesus’ life!  Jesus alone is the Lord and Redeemer of all humanity!  He offers us the assurance that God is at work, accomplishing his purposes, that Jesus is God incarnate and that true followers of Jesus are in reality the people of God, that the Holy Spirit is essential for our every response and action and that no matter who you are or where you’re from Jesus died to rescue you! Jesus is the fulfillment of all the promises of God and though every promise is not yet realized, we can be certain that one day they will be! Luke writes to give certainty and assurance to believers – you can be certain that everything about Jesus is true!
