Good Friday was a very special day as that was the day Jesus was crucified on the cross. My class re-enacted “The Stations of The Cross” as it is more understandable for the young children while it also teaches us a message that no matter how hard things get, keep going.
In our act my female classmates and I played the woman of Jerusalem wearing robes and veils.
Second stations: The soldiers made Jesus take up and carry this heavy and wooden cross.
Eighth station: Women of Jerusalem are devastated and crying as they see Jesus carrying this heavy cross on his shoulders while sweating from exhaustion.
The second and eighth stations were the two stations that in fact mixed my emotions around. Seeing how my classmate who played Jesus took up and carried the heavy wooden cross.
It made me feel blue seeing how exhausted Jesus must’ve felt carrying the burden of the cross. Jesus consoles the women of Jerusalem who were sobbing showing us how much He loves us and will never leave us to suffer alone, even when we are in our loneliest chapters in life.
But the act that made my emotions blow up was the part where my classmate Daniel sang “Were you There” and to tell the truth his singing was fantastic and glorious. No words can explain how smooth the rhythm of his voice was, it was just magnificent.
The Stations taught and showed us a message that no matter how much we struggle and sin, Jesus’s everlasting love for us will never end.
