Message: “Responding Rightly to the Crucified King” from Matt Chapin
Matt Chapin - April 20, 2025
Responding Rightly to the Crucified King
Luke 23:32-43 powerfully illustrates responding rightly to the crucified King, contrasting the mockery of leaders and one criminal with the repentance of the other, who, seeing Jesus's innocence and recognizing His coming kingdom, asked to be remembered, prompting Jesus's promise of immediate paradise, demonstrating that true kingship is found not in earthly power but in sacrificial grace, offering salvation to all who turn to Him in faith even at the moment of death.

According to the New Testament Gospels, Jesus was arrested after being betrayed by his disciple Judas Iscariot, put through a series of trials, mocked, scourged, crowned with thorns, and eventually sentenced to death by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. He was then nailed to a wooden cross and left to die, a brutal form of execution at the time.
