Message: The gospel according to Luke
Text: Luke 23:52-24:2
That stone…is a problem
The stone: Why do you need the stone moved? If you’re doing it for yourself, you need to stop. If you’re doing it for Jesus, you need to not stop.
2 Corinthians 5:7 Continuing to take forward steps of faith.
This is a turning point in discipleship. You are now depending on God to the point that He has to come thru some way.
The guards: There are more problems than you can see. Fortunately you don’t see them.
Beth Moore, "The stand of faith is so much easier than the walk of faith. Those who stick to a stand rather than move in a walk of faith may adhere to certain doctrines but never experience the adventure--or the vulnerability--of a vital relationship with God. Those who stand can afford to be smug. They never have to question their beliefs because they've never risked enough to take them. They believe God for little because they don't want to be disappointed or feel stupid"
