Luke 23:33-43: Human beings often understand life through hierarchy, seeing a king as “above” us. Christians confess Jesus as King, yet Luke 23 challenges this framework. Instead of power and glory, Jesus is mocked, humiliated, and crucified, appearing weak and defeated. Soldiers and one criminal saw him as a failure, but another criminal broke his assumptions and asked Jesus to “remember me,” finding true meaning in him. This irony reveals God’s upside-down power, that is strength in weakness, kingship in humility. Like the criminal on his cross who found strength in the Lord, we too discover hope when we trust the servant and suffering King who remembers us.
