The Daughters of Jerusalem and Jesus' Crucifixion

About this episode

The episode explores Jesus' warning to the Daughters of Jerusalem and reflects on his crucifixion and its significance.

Arriving at Golgotha, Jesus spoke a harrowing warning to the women he saw weeping for him along the road. At the ninth Station of the Cross, we’ll examine the warning Jesus gave the women he called “Daughters of Jerusalem.” Then comes the tenth Station of the Cross: Jesus’ crucifixion. With awe and trepidation, we’ll witness Jesus, nailed to a cross, bear the full weight of human sin. We’ll reflect on the words he spoke from the cross, discuss what Jesus accomplished there, and what it all means for our lives today.
