TENTH STATION - REFLECTION
THE TENTH STATION: JESUS IS STRIPPED OF HIS GARMENTS
A. Because by your cross you have redeemed the world
Clothes gives a man social position. In our world today we wear nice clothes to portray our wealth, handsomeness and beauty. Jesus had all the advantages to also portray himself as such. He did not do it because of our sake. He allowed them to strip of his garments so that he can use his own garment to clothe our nakedness, which is sin.
He did that by showing us his ultimate love on the cross. He was embarrassed because of our sins. He laid down his garments to show us that the glory of man, in the coming future, does not consist in accumulated wealth but consists in doing the will of God.
Jesus' glory was not
limited to physical appearance but was beyond. We have to always be mindful
that at our death, nothing will be added to us in our grave, as such let us
seek the things that are above.
PRAYER:
My Dear Jesus, you have given us an example that material possessions does not follow us when we die. Help us, we beseech you, to always search for things that are above, which is your love. Clothe us with the same love so that we may be always close to you, our Dear Saviour.
Amen.
