We were asked today where we were in regards to the passion of Christ. Are we like the Apostles, who professed their devotion to Jesus and then ran away during His time of need? Are we the bystanders, who simply watch and wait for someone else to do something? Are we pressed into helping carry His cross for a time?
Jesus' passion was not just the events that led to His crucifixion on Golgotha. His passion is in our everyday lives, in the struggles of those around us, of the burdens and condemnations that they carry. The disciples showed how easy it is to talk the talk when times are good, yet find run away in the face of actual disaster.
It's so easy to condemn them, but would I do any better in their place?
