Today, we see that The Way of the Cross is also The Way of Forgiveness—not only receiving God’s mercy but learning to extend it to others. The parable of the prodigal son teaches us about forgiveness from three perspectives: the one who needs it, the one who struggles to give it, and the Father who offers it freely.
Jesus calls us to repent not to make us feel guilty or ashamed, but to free us from our guilt and shame. He calls us to repent so we can be free and have new life. So today, let’s hear His call, trust in His grace, and walk the Way of Repentance.
Last week, we began our journey through The Way of the Cross by looking at The Way of Trust—Jesus’ trust in the Father’s Word, plan, and protection, even in the wilderness of temptation.
Today, we see Jesus continuing on that path, walking toward suffering with full knowledge of what awaits Him in Jerusalem.
The Christian life is not one of avoiding suffering but following Christ through it. Today, we learn what it means to walk The Way of Suffering.
