The Way of Suffering
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.
The Way of Trust
This Lent, we will be walking the Way of the Cross. We will follow Jesus’ journey to the cross and reflect on what it really means to follow Him, focussing on a different aspect of that Way of the Cross each of the five Sundays during Lent. We begin the journey with Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness in Luke 4. Through being tempted as we are, yet without sin, Jesus shows us The Way of Trust.
