[3389.00 --> 3389.74] He has risen. |
[3390.54 --> 3392.20] Remember how he told you |
[3392.20 --> 3394.40] while he was still with you |
[3394.40 --> 3395.04] in Galilee. |
[3395.40 --> 3396.28] The Son of Man |
[3396.28 --> 3396.98] must be delivered |
[3396.98 --> 3398.18] over to the hands of sinners, |
[3398.30 --> 3398.86] be crucified, |
[3399.36 --> 3400.90] and on the third day |
[3400.90 --> 3402.84] be raised again. |
[3406.14 --> 3407.16] Let me tell you, |
[3408.16 --> 3410.20] if the resurrection |
[3410.20 --> 3412.36] is true, |
[3412.36 --> 3414.70] then all the rest |
[3414.70 --> 3416.00] is true as well. |
[3416.42 --> 3417.12] The resurrection |
[3417.12 --> 3418.70] is the foundation |
[3418.70 --> 3421.68] on which stands |
[3421.68 --> 3423.46] all of our faith |
[3423.46 --> 3424.32] and belief. |
[3424.90 --> 3426.30] And that's true historically |
[3426.30 --> 3428.00] and as far even |
[3428.00 --> 3429.40] as salvation is possible. |
[3429.70 --> 3430.64] That's what Paul says |
[3430.64 --> 3432.00] in 1 Corinthians 15. |
[3432.36 --> 3433.42] Christians have known |
[3433.42 --> 3434.48] this to be true |
[3434.48 --> 3435.64] since the very beginning. |
[3436.04 --> 3436.82] The resurrection |
[3436.82 --> 3438.64] is the foundation |
[3438.64 --> 3440.92] on which all of our life |
[3440.92 --> 3442.78] and faith stands. |
[3444.38 --> 3445.74] And if it's not true, |
[3446.74 --> 3448.40] none of this matters. |
[3450.02 --> 3450.80] Let me tell you, |
[3450.90 --> 3452.52] as Luke writes this story, |
[3452.60 --> 3453.74] as the other gospel writers |
[3453.74 --> 3454.74] write this story, |
[3454.78 --> 3457.06] it has all of the hallmarks |
[3457.06 --> 3458.54] of being true. |
[3458.54 --> 3461.70] Now, we're not going to get |
[3461.70 --> 3463.34] into all of this |
[3463.34 --> 3465.08] and to every single argument |
[3465.08 --> 3465.46] for this, |
[3465.52 --> 3466.28] but I want to just |
[3466.28 --> 3468.24] equip you with a couple here. |
[3468.40 --> 3469.50] And so, again, |
[3469.58 --> 3470.62] with your Bibles handy, |
[3470.78 --> 3472.10] flip back to the beginning |
[3472.10 --> 3472.70] of Luke. |
[3472.80 --> 3473.70] Luke chapter 1. |
[3475.70 --> 3476.66] Luke chapter 1. |
[3476.72 --> 3478.14] The very opening words |
[3478.14 --> 3478.88] of Luke. |
[3479.00 --> 3479.18] Here, |
[3479.30 --> 3481.04] hear what Luke says. |
[3481.20 --> 3481.46] He says, |
[3481.46 --> 3492.94] And hear this now. |
[3492.94 --> 3515.32] Luke's intent |
[3515.32 --> 3517.42] in writing this gospel message |
[3517.42 --> 3519.24] is so that you may know |
[3519.24 --> 3520.20] the certainty |
[3520.20 --> 3521.30] of the things |
[3521.30 --> 3522.04] which you have been taught. |
[3522.26 --> 3523.18] And to do that, |
[3523.26 --> 3524.40] he has investigated |
[3524.40 --> 3525.44] like an expert. |
[3526.56 --> 3526.92] And remember, |
[3527.02 --> 3527.80] Luke's no fool. |
[3528.30 --> 3529.14] Luke is a doctor. |
[3529.50 --> 3530.78] He has official training |
[3530.78 --> 3533.06] in the Greek scholastic system |
[3533.06 --> 3533.92] of his day. |
[3534.08 --> 3534.42] And so, |
[3534.48 --> 3535.54] he knows how to do |
[3535.54 --> 3536.76] rigorous investigation. |
[3537.08 --> 3538.06] He knows how to do |
[3538.06 --> 3539.68] historical investigation. |
[3539.96 --> 3540.70] He knows how to |
[3540.70 --> 3541.50] fact check |
[3541.50 --> 3542.36] and counter check |
[3542.36 --> 3543.30] and listen to witnesses |
[3543.30 --> 3543.96] and seek them out. |
[3543.98 --> 3544.16] In fact, |
[3544.16 --> 3544.60] he says, |
[3544.82 --> 3546.46] he does just that. |
[3546.46 --> 3547.38] He sought out |
[3547.38 --> 3548.30] the eyewitnesses |
[3548.30 --> 3549.26] and servants of the word |
[3549.26 --> 3550.20] and he carefully |
[3550.20 --> 3552.10] investigated everything |
[3552.10 --> 3552.88] from the beginning. |
[3554.30 --> 3556.20] Luke is no slouch. |
[3556.50 --> 3558.20] He's no propagandist. |
[3559.10 --> 3560.32] He is an academic |
[3560.32 --> 3562.04] and a professional |
[3562.04 --> 3564.36] and he applies those skills |
[3564.36 --> 3567.96] to his gospel writing experience. |
[3570.94 --> 3572.40] And you can see that |
[3572.40 --> 3575.66] even in chapter 24. |
