SHADOW STATIONS



SHADOW STATIONS- THE YOUTH SHOW IN A GREATER WAY THE PRICE JESUS PAID
This past Friday, our high school youth contributed their time and effort to present the stations of the cross in a whole different way. By all accounts, it was beautifully done and people were impressed. The only complaint was that they are only doing it once and should do this in other places. I was proud of the effort that they gave, but even more so by their enthusiastic willingness to offer this effort to our Lord.
But the credit does not go to them - it goes to the Lord Jesus, who’s sacrifice they are depicting. This season of Lent is when we give special remembrance of Jesus coming to Earth to teach us, to heal us, to guide us, and most of all to pay the price for our salvation. The fact that they did this brought more people to this weekly Lenten remembrance. That is what is important. As is always the case, what glorifies God is not that which is impressive, but that which brings others closer to Christ. In some cases, the parents lead their kids to Jesus. In other cases, the kids lead the parents to Jesus. Let us never take for granted what Jesus has done for us, and our role to take that to others.
