This is day 300 of our journey.

As Luke recounts the trial of Jesus, he makes it clear that Jesus was innocent. Jesus is passed from Pilate to Herod and back to Pilate again. Neither of them find any fault with Jesus, yet Pilate agrees to have him executed to appease the riotous crowd. While Jesus is hanging on the cross, even one of the criminals that is being crucified with him recognizes his innocence and calls on Jesus to save him. Finally, when Jesus dies, the centurion in charge of the execution also proclaims that surely Jesus was innocent. Jesus took my guilt upon himself to pay the punishment for me! After Jesus' resurrection, Luke gives an account of the many people that had Jesus appear to them and encourage them. Jesus opened the eyes of the disciples to finally understand the prophecies about the Christ and the necessity for his death and resurrection.

Join me in Luke 23-24 and rejoice that the innocent Savior carried our punishment on himself!
