TOS-LSC101 Truth and Hope in the Way of the Cross

Truth of the Spirit’s “Truth and Hope in the Way of the Cross” shares a hopeful and enlightening view of the Way of the Cross uniquely for you that begins with the Last Supper and travels back to Moses.  Jesus encountered crying women, Veronica, Mother Mary, and the African Simon.  These reveal that even in the midst of suffering, we are not alone; we are encouraged by the Lord and receive help.  Following Jesus on the Way of the Cross allows us to trust God enough that we can look past any current suffering.  When we fall, we too can get up, too, and keep going.  When we suffer, we can keep going.  We can trust God.  We can look past that suffering and keep going.  Patti Brunner is host of Truth of the Spirit and Living Seasons of Change.
