A Deeper Journey into the Souls Present at the Blue Army Second Station
"The wood is dropped onto my torn shoulders, biting into the wounds of the scourging. I feel the rough grain against my skin and the weight of every human failure in my heart. I accept this cross with gladness, for in its heavy timber, I see the face of everyone I am coming to save."
"To me, this is just another shift—another criminal, another heavy piece of lumber. I am driven by duty and the desire to finish the job, but I feel an strange unease as I watch Him embrace the wood. Am I so busy with my tasks that I am missing the Sacred Presence right in front of me?"
"I stand among the crowd, watching the dust rise as the cross crashes down. My heart is a mirror of the world: part of me wants to cry out in compassion, while another part is tempted to just follow the noise of the street. I have to choose: will I follow the noise, or will I follow the Man?"
"As the cross falls upon His shoulders, my heart drops because I see my own choices adding to that weight. It was my pride and my turning away that made this wood so heavy. Yet, as I offer my sorrow, He looks at me not with anger, but with an invitation to walk this path beside Him. I am sorry, Jesus, for the weight I added."
