The Rev. Alissa Newton text: Luke 23:33-43

"Could Jesus have won? Could Jesus have made something else happen by using the power of the God who made every single thing, the God who holds all the universe in God’s hand? Could Jesus have squashed and destroyed these Empires who worship the sort of power that leaves powerlessness and destruction in its wake?

The lesson here, friends, is not that Jesus could have and didn’t.

The lesson here is that this is exactly what Jesus DID. "
