Today's Lectionary TextThroughout Advent, we will read the book of Luke together. You are invited to pause for a few minutes, quiet your soul and read contemplatively Luke 23.![]() Today's Devotional
After reading the entire chapter, pause and read the highlighted verses below for further reflection.
Today‘s focus is on verses Luke 23:44-49. It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last. The centurion, seeing what had happened, praised God and said, “Surely this was a righteous man.” When all the people who had gathered to witness this sight saw what took place, they beat their breasts and went away. But all those who knew him, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. Meditate
