STATION 1:
JESUS IS CONDEMNED - INJUSTICE
So Pilate came out to them and said, “What charge do you bring against this man?” They answered and said to him, “If he were not a criminal, we would not have handed him over to you.” ~ John 18:29-30
Jesus asks: “If I can bow to my Father’s will, can you also submit, even in the face of injustice?”
Injustice automatically brings up feelings of hurt, anger, bitterness. We look to Jesus’ example, and we see his reflection in the lives of our sisters and brothers. How do we keep our faith in the midst of undeserved suffering?
