Overview & Insights

"Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." (Luke 23:42)

Luke closes the Gospel's year with Jesus crucified between two criminals, mocked with the very title that is true of him, King. One dying man asks only to be remembered, and Jesus promises paradise that same day.
