Learn how the gospel of Luke portrays the crucifixion and resurrection. What do these two events mean for humanity? What hope do they provide for Christian believers? Which person in Jesus' final hours are you most like: Peter, John, Judas, the women, Joseph of Arimathea, Pilate, or Herod?

This week we explore the cross and the risen savior, without which Christian faith would be in vain.
