In this message from Luke 23, Pastor Ken reflects on the crucifixion of Jesus, emphasizing how Jesus chose to die between two criminals, identifying with sinners even in death. Despite being mocked, beaten, and humiliated, Jesus extended mercy—praying for forgiveness for those who crucified Him.
In Luke 18, Jesus is spotlighting the underdogs in his stories. In verses 15-17 Jesus is bringing kids into the picture. These days we often worship kids, we put them on a pedestal or even spoil them, but back in the day kids were treated like property with no rights. But there is more to this story, the gospel nudges us here to realize that we all start as newborns in our journey with Jesus.
We need to trust in the Lord forever because he is our rock and our refuge. God took away our sin and gave us his righteousness. God is our refuge from sin and death. We receive His encouragement through this and need to live in His promise of eternal life.
Jesus is the word of God and the promise of God. Jesus has ultimate true authority because he is the only son of God. The question today is- does he have true authority over you?
