Day 1: With Jesus as He Hears of John the Baptist's Death
Jesus learns that his cousin and forerunner, John the Baptist, has been killed, and he withdraws by boat to a solitary place. Today's step invited us to imagine ourselves present as the news arrives, and to consider how Jesus' grief connects with our own.

I connect with Jesus , how alone He felt.
The pain He was in.
The mockery.
The insults.
The trauma of real friends leaving you behind.
Severe bullying allowed me to truly walk the path with Jesus 💛
