If Jesus did not rise, then religion is just religion — a mere anthropological phenomenon.

Everything in Scripture is God revealing himself to his people, you and me.

The Holy Spirit isn’t so much the one you look at, as he is the one who turns you from looking at yourself and your sin to your Savior, Jesus.

As the writer to the Hebrews affirms, what makes the Christian gospel so much better is that we are no longer dealing with “types and shadows."

Sometimes I think we should be more tempted to laugh at the gospel than we are, not in derision but in sheer surprise and awe.

The Trinity is a handy shorthand for all that God has done to justify sinners.

As astounding as co-eternity and co-equality with the Father in majesty and glory is, this is not the most significant answer Jesus gave in this Gospel reading, not for us at least.

The Son of God is still God the Son in the Incarnation.

Preaching is the first line of defense and catechetical offensive against these corrosive falsehoods.
