From Tomb to Testimony
Big Idea: God didn’t save you to stay hidden—He calls you into freedom, identity, and love.
1. Remove the Mask (Freedom)
2 Corinthians 3:16–17
16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
Jesus didn’t remove the stone so we could keep hiding behind a veil.
The Spirit doesn’t expose us to shame us—He frees us to live honestly and fully alive.

2. Stop Comparing (Identity)
1 Corinthians 12:20–23
20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I don’t need you!” And the head cannot say to the feet, “I don’t need you!”
22 On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable,
23 and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor.
Comparison robs us of joy and distorts our identity.
God didn’t make duplicates—He made a body, and every part matters.
Reflection:
3. Choose Real Community (Love)
Romans 12:15
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.
Real community doesn’t rush past pain or compete for spotlight.
It shows up, stays present, and loves people where they actually are.
