Luke in 33 Days - Luke 23:1-49


Thursday 28 March

Read Luke 23:1–49

Think

Lk 23:1-5 – “He stirs up the people by teaching…” (vs 5); are you stirred by Jesus’ teaching?
Lk 23:6-12 – Herod bullies and humiliates Jesus with the help of his soldiers.  When you are bullied and humiliated is it helpful to know that Jesus has been there?
Lk 23:13-25 – In this passage the ‘blame’ for Jesus death is put on the crowd shouting “crucify him.”  Somehow it helps us to see that no one person was responsible; we are all responsible.
LK 23:26-49 – Let reading this passage be a time of worship.

Pray

Spend some time meditating on Jesus’ suffering and death.  Remember what it means.
