In this sermon on Good Friday, Rev. Cari picked up the passion narrative from Luke’s gospel just as it got “political” and walked the congregation through to his death.

This is not “easy” material to engage, for any of us. The injustice of Jesus’ condemnation to death reflects the injustice of our world, still, now. And Luke’s presentation is ambiguous, as Rev. Cari points out, in several ways.

We follow One who does not settle for easy answers or a superficial “peace.” This narrative is making its demand of us, still. How will we continue to follow Jesus, even here, even now?
