Luke 22 & 23 The Power, Trial, Cross & Kingdom (Palm Sunday)

Luke

Play in New Window

We all seek power, but the kingdom that Jesus came to bring turns power on its head. Jesus is the Messiah, God’s son, but he doesn’t use his power for his own good, he surrenders it for ours. He allows the powers that be–religious leaders, Pilate, Herod–to unjustly to judge him (the Judge) and sentence him to death on a cross. Jesus calls us to do the same–to live the cruciform life and participate in his upside-down kingdom.

*The Reading of the Passion Narrative (from the ending of the Palm Sunday Service) is included after the sermon.

On the night before his death, Jesus celebrates a Passover meal with his disciples. But he changes everything–reinterpreting the climactic redemption of Israel from slavery in Egypt in light of his own impending death on the cross. As the Lord delivered Israel through Judgment and an offer of Mercy under the blood of a lamb, […]
