Stations of the Cross (2)
JESUS RECEIVES THE CROSS
Jesus was scourged. The whips cut His back until it was shredded and bathed in His blood. A crown of thorns was set on His head in mockery. Then they returned His robe to Him, and brought Him to the cross on which He was to die.
Jesus embraced the cross, resting it painfully on the smarting wounds on His back.
Lord, You were scourged and wounded;
You deserved no punishment.
but were punished in our place.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
When You were already hurting,
You embraced the cross.
Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus.
amen

And even so a light shone in the dark halls of Pilate that day.. those who tried the King of kings were themselves on trial.. it was humanity's darkest hour and God's brightest moment - that day that the Lord our God suffered for me.
