Simon the Black – Linda Vogt Turner

The Petition of the Bridegroom

The Bridegroom, Simon the Black, petitions the governor to release the body of Jesus — a bold act of covenant love.

From Roman courts to the foot of the Cross, the Bridegroom’s petition reveals the courage to claim covenant love against every obstacle.

The Heartbeat of the Gospel

From Mary Magdalene, the Bride holding the heartbeat of the Gospel, to Simon the Black standing face to face before the Alektor — the call to love, repentance, and covenant faithfulness still resounds today.
