Biblical Text: Luke 23:26-56 (Concentrating on v48)

The full text was the crucifixion, but Luke gives us the scene through multiple pairings of people. He calls is “The Spectacle” which is something pulled from the world of Greek Theater. That world had two forms: tragedy and comedy. And Luke’s pairing of folks to me displays what kind of Spectacle they thought they were in. And Luke’s account places us as watching the Spectacle. With the question, what are we watching? The Sermon hopes to orient us toward a proper viewing of Holy Week.
