We read Luke 23 straight through, sitting with Jesus’ trial, crucifixion, and burial instead of saving it for one week a year. We also look at the “side characters” Luke includes and ask what their words and choices reveal about what they really think of Jesus.
• why we tend to avoid the crucifixion and why we should not
• Pilate’s repeated finding of innocence and his eventual compromise
• Herod’s shallow curiosity and Jesus’ silence under accusation
• Barabbas released and the crowd’s demand for crucifixion
• Simon of Cyrene carrying the cross and what it models for discipleship
• Jesus’ prayer for forgiveness and the criminals’ opposite responses
• the repentant thief and Jesus’ promise of paradise
• darkness, the torn curtain, the centurion’s confession, and the crowd’s regret
• Joseph of Arimathea’s courage in burial and the women’s faithful witness
• the question we cannot dodge: what do we think about Jesus right now
