The Gospel of Luke

Read Luke 23:26-43.
https://bible.com/bible/59/luk.23.26-43.ESV

While Jesus hung on the cross, there were those who scoffed and mocked and others who mourned and lamented.

Today, let us look upon our Lord, as His hands and feet were pierced for our transgressions.

Allow this sight to cut us to our souls, for in our place He hung that day.

For our sin, He took upon Himself the wrath of God.

Therefore, while we look at that ugly wood, upon that gruesome sight, let us also rejoice.

For by His cross, we are saved!

“But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.”
-Isaiah 53:5

Since coming to faith as a young college student, God’s lead has taken me around the world and back. Today, my passion is clearer than ever; my heart hurts for the lost, but it burns for the Church. My deepest desire is to equip the Church to be the body, working together to see people’s lives be redeemed in the name of Jesus. My name is Christian and my wife, Emily and I have been married for 6 years and have a little one named Amelia. Together, we’re fully committed to following Jesus to where ever He leads us.
