S6 E10: Luke 23-24
Show notes
Welcome to Season 6 of Down Under Theology, a podcast equipping and encouraging Australian Christians to get down and under the theology impacting the life and mission of the church.
In Season 6 of the show, we’re working our way through the story of the Bible in 12 key passages. Together, these passages will take us from creation to new creation, across the different sections and genres of Scripture, with Christ at the centre.
In this episode, Allister, Cam and Murray discuss Luke 23–24, from the trial and crucifixion of Jesus to his burial, resurrection and ascension, with a particular focus on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:13–27. They place the passage within the whole of Luke’s Gospel and the journey to Jerusalem, and they look at how it sets up the book of Acts. They also explore what Luke uniquely draws out: the innocence of Jesus, the repentant criminal and the ascension. They ask what Jesus means when he says the Christ “must” suffer and enter his glory.
They also trace these chapters to Jesus himself as prophet, priest and king, and as the God-man who is worshipped as he ascends. They consider what they mean for the church, a Spirit-empowered community of witnesses gathered around the preached word and worship. They finish by looking at how the church lives between Easter and Christ’s return.
