The Via Dolorosa (Way of Sorrows) as it is today, a narrow stone alley in Jerusalem. When I took a very early morning walk down this famous street, traditionally regarded as the route along which Jesus was led to the cross, it became an intensely moving journey through time. The seeming closed rejection and hostility of as yet unopened roadside stalls & shops… ancient stone walls from which it is easy to imagine the echoes of a climactic past… people waving palm branches acclaiming Christ as their king… people demanding His death. Look closely at the green door and you will discover His shadow, His heart cry etched in the sign above. In the sky the present reality of His living face appears. In the walls His hands reach out inviting us to be His friends and followers… And today we still find ourselves becoming polarized in our response. Overhead, etched in a flying buttress, stands inescapably the promise that one day soon He will come again to reign as King..
