Pilate Condemns Jesus to Death
Ryan Adams- "Wonderwall"
How did Pontius Pilate feel proclaiming Jesus' innocence? Jesus'
followers watch as the public body convicts and sentences Him to death.
His innocence understood by few. Did this challenge His follower's
faith? |
2nd Station
Jesus is Given the Cross to carry
Imogen Heap- "Hide and Seek"
Jesus suffered greatly as His followers watched Him carry all of humanity's
sins on His shoulders. It is probable that even though Jesus was trusted
emphatically, His suffering at the time was not easily understood

3rd Station
Jesus Falls the First Time
State Radio- "The Waitress"
Something very serious is going on in your life. All
you can think about is that situation while others around you treat
you as the same person. They are missing the transformation right before
their own eyes.

Simon Helps Carry the Cross
Mason Jennings- "East of Eden"
Simon is forced to help Jesus. How has this event shaped Simon? Do we ever pick up the cross for others?
Do we have to be forced to do this or do we do it willingly? Do we try to embrace the victories and defeats of life?
Do we forgive others? Ourselves?

8th Station
Jesus Meets the Women
Alexi Murdoch- "Orange Sky"
Jesus seems so humble. He rejects tears in His name. He suggests these women focus on their children. How do we direct our love toward our family and friends? How do we show gratitude toward those who love?

9th Station
Jesus Falls a Third Time
Travis Meeks- "Dirty Road Live"
Life's journey can really hurt. What made Jesus continue on from this point? Why did He want to keep enduring the suffering? How powerful do you think His bond with His Father in relation to this fall?

| 10th Station
His Clothes are Stripped from Him
The Verve- "Lucky Man"
I cannot help but feel that Jesus had a moment of prayer and clarity at this point in His journey. Do you think He understands the beauty of the blessing He will bestow to all of humankind?

11th Station
Jesus is Nailed to the Cross
Coldplay- "Amsterdam"
Incredible challenges always help us grow. Jesus suffered greatly. His love for His father never wavered. Do you entrust your life to God? Do you understand how He will help you grow and drive you closer to Him even through suffering?
