No 3: Good Friday at the hotel!
Jesus: Yes, it is the day, marked as the ‘failure day’
in your life. You were defeated. You accepted the ugly human plots against you.
You surrendered yourself to the wickedness of the fellow human beings. But God
has not left you. God has raised you to life on the third day, the resurrection
day.
Me/we: In life, failures are bound to take place. Sometimes
we need to make ourselves ‘victim’ for the sake of others. We become prey of
ugly plots, wickedness or dirty politics. But that is not the end...there is
always third day!
Jesus: You carried the Cross. Your cross was the full
of others’ sins. You fell three times while carrying the burden of others, but
you went on...You did not want to become cross for others. You simply followed
the instructions of the soldiers without any argument.
Me/we: In life, we need to carry our cross too. Our
cross could be consisted of others faults, stupidity, weakness. But we need to
carry the Cross. We should not become cross for others.
Prayer: Jesus help me to lead a life where I don’t
become cross for others. Rather I may carry others’ cross.
