The Cross Was Anything BUT Defeat | The Gospels | Luke 23:44–49

Why did Jesus’s crucifixion seem like just another failed messianic movement? What did the people standing at the cross fail to understand? And what do the darkness and torn curtain reveal about who he truly is? In today’s episode, Patrick shares how Luke 23:44–49 reveals the cosmic significance of Jesus’s death and why the cross was never a defeat, but the beginning of salvation. Read the Bible with us!
