Lots of people have scars.  Every wound leaves a scar. Every scar tells a story. This sermon series is about the scars you have and the how Jesus has scars too - scars that show the possibility that God is real, that pain can bring hope, and that suffering can be turned into something beautiful.  Scars show the worst thing you’ve ever done was forgiven long before you did it.  Jesus scars will show that in the suffering, Jesus always saves! Jesus, our Lord and our God in the glory of the resurrection , still bears the wounds of His experience of God with us on earth.  The resurrection did not remove the human experience.  The risen Lord still bears on His body the scars that speak of the human suffering in all its forms.  His scars remind you that God is with you through all things, even the appalling, destructive and death-dealing times. The picture of the risen Christ with wounds on His hands and His side,  reminds you that when you suffer so did your God ; when you cry out in loneliness, so did your God.  When you feel abandoned and alone, you remember that Christ hung on a cross and screamed for you, “ My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”  You don’t have a God who stands at a distance but one who entered fully into the realness of your pain.  So, when you suffer, you know that Christ can say, “I’ve been there, and I have the wounds to prove it!”
