About this episode
Jensen discusses the significance of Simon carrying Jesus's cross and the responses of the criminal beside him in Luke 23:26–43, revealing the true posture of a disciple.
Why does Luke's Gospel include Simon carrying Jesus’s cross and the criminal beside him? What do their responses reveal about the human heart? And what does this tell us about what true discipleship actually look like? In today’s episode, Jensen shares how Jesus's crucifixion in Luke 23:26–43 reveals the posture of a true disciple: humble, aware of their need, and willing to take up their cross and follow the one, true King.
