Stations of the Cross: 9

Stations of the Cross

Station Nine:

Jesus Falls the Third Time

Another fall!  Doesn’t this third fall seem overwhelming? Doesn’t it feel like there needs to be some relief? Isn’t He due for some joy and peace?


Sometimes in life, it’s the darkest before the light. That fall that you thought was going to ruin you, is just pushing towards something really great.


In your falls, learn to keep your focus on our Lord and not on your circumstances. Know that the Lord can turn any situation around. Everything is subject to change. I mean, everything and anything can turn around, except our great and always good God. Put your faith in the spirit world and don’t worry how many times you have fallen. Think of it like this: more falls equals greater victory. You may fall tonight, but joy can rise in the morning; never give up.


Reflection:


If you are experiencing the same fall over and over again…stop and reflect.


What do you need to learn in this chapter of your life?


What do the falls really represent in your life?


What lessons does your soul need to learn, so you don’t repeat the same fall?


If you’ve become an expert in this specific fall, can you give valuable lessons to someone else (that you've seen fall the same way)?
