Lectionary: Series C (446)
  1. These others do not get much attention. We do not know their names. We do not know their back stories. But they were there on Easter morning, and Luke wants his readers to know it.
  2. The story is not over, however, when they put Jesus in the tomb. The sacrifice is complete, and Jesus is still active.
  3. Through His death and resurrection Jesus will create a new community of mini-suffering servants founded on the righteousness that the Suffering Servant won for them.
  4. The will of God may be perfect, but it is not always pleasant.
  5. He does what is central to God’s own essence: Jesus lives out the self-giving nature of God.
  6. God could kill or make alive, or He could wound or heal. Mercifully and thankfully His choice was life.
