The Psalms and Christ's Death, Resurrection, and Ascension
In Luke 23 and 24 we read of the crucifixion of Jesus. Over the last few weeks since before Christmas we've been reading through the gospel of Luke. Luke's gospel ends with the death of Jesus, and then his resurrection and ascension. Within a few hundred words, Luke reports on the lowest, most dark moments of Jesus, and then the most triumphant, glorious, and overwhelmingly tremendous experiences of Jesus. These passages are like a valley below overshadowing mountains.
