My friends, this is the word of God for the people of God. Thanks be to God. So if you asked Claude Monet, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Raphael Georgia O'Keeffe, If you asked all of these artists to paint the same scene, can you imagine how different their works would be? Just imagine it. Each one of them creating that piece of art from their own perspective, their own history, because of their own particular gifts. the same with the gospels, I think. Each portray Jesus in such a different way according to their histories, their perspectives, their particular gifts. In Matthew's gospel, for example, Jesus is our rabbi. He comes to take the people upon a hill and give them a new law about righteousness. in the gospel of mark jesus is the great demon slayer where even the powers of deep darkness fear the name of christ in the gospel of john jesus is a king his powers are always subverting human error but in the gospel of luke in the gospel of luke where we got our reading for this morning, Jesus is the divine physician. He is the healer of our souls every disease.

Romans 8.1 There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. To every woman in this room who has had an abortion, you do not wear scarlet letter A on your shirt everywhere you go. When you're in Christ the Father on high God on high does not look at you and see the guilt of your abortion anymore. He looks on you and He sees the very righteousness of Jesus Christ himself. You're robed, you're clothed in his righteousness, whether you've had one abortion or five abortions, whether you have performed hundreds of abortions or legally made possible thousands, even millions of abortions.

would feel what you want us to feel, that our hearts would beat in rhythm with yours. And then God, I pray our lives would change as a result of this.

So we're asking for help. And I want to invite you family, if you're up for it, to take a minute and you pray and ask him that. Say, Lord, please teach me today. and then if you would please pray for me that the Lord would use me and I'd be helpful to you Well, Father, we love you and we trust you. Use this time and we pray that in Jesus' name. Amen. Well, not long after college, my sister and I traveled to Italy and we went to the Uffizi, which is an art museum in Florence, housing one of the largest collections of Renaissance art, probably second only to the Vatican. …
