Unit 27 Session 2
THE CRUCIFIED KING
LUKE 23
Jesus gave up His life to provide salvation to all who repent of their sin.
Only a handful of hours into His last day before death, Jesus had already been falsely accused and wrongly condemned to death. He was flogged by officials, forsaken by His followers, and left so weak that He could not even carry His cross as He marched to the place of His execution. Yet the emotional anguish and physical pain He bore could not keep Him from obediently fulfilling God's purpose. Christ came to be a ransom for sinners so that those who believed could become part of the forever family of God.

to the Father?
* What are ways we can fill our thoughts and
words with Scripture?
