"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood."
--Hebrews 12:1-4 (NIV, 1984)

Station 6: Jesus is taken down from the cross | Reflection by Bronson Steiner

A cross
Bloody, without life and laying down
The vision of Christ nailed to it flashes in memory
A cross
Alone, wet, and hated
Better without Christ on it; nothing is better though
All things, for now, seem dead and lifeless
I look upon that empty cross
I am angry, heartbroken, and hopeless
That cross is home to all my heartache
That cross is terrible
That empty cross took my hope in everything
In anything
That empty cross took my Jesus from me
My Jesus
Bloody, without life, laying down
For now….
