A book of life. Names and numbers known by him who wants to know you. You. Your name, your number – noted.

This for me was a deeply moving station, the opportunity to whip was not something I had in mind that evening but to realise that I was there on the day that Jesus died and I too was responsible for his beating made it all too real at this station, I was very humbled and completely grateful at the price this man of Calvary paid for me.
