Luke’s Jesus forgives those who are killing him. He promises paradise to a criminal. He entrusts his spirit to the Father.
Where Mark gives us anguish and Matthew gives us apocalypse, Luke gives us mercy.
This week, we’ll see that the cross is about both what was done to Jesus and what Jesus does for others. Luke reveals a God whose final word over enemies is mercy, whose final word over outsiders is belonging, and whose final breath is trust.
