Almost at The Cross
Some journeys are difficult.
Then, there is the Cross, which was so brutal that it is named The Via Dolorosa, the way of sorrow, proclaimed as the designated processional path outlining the torturous trek in Jerusalem to Calvary, through rocky, steep terrain, rough cobblestones, suffocating arid heat, and malicious jabs and jeers.

It was treacherous inside and out from the condemnation and sentencing to the execution. No peace, no love, no turning back.

We’re always “almost” somewhere. Almost done with school, almost done with a relationship or job, almost done with chores and obligations, almost a teenager, almost the age to drive or imbibe alcohol. Right now, we are almost at the Cross.
Soon it will be erected with His agonizing flesh, pierced and hanging. Soon it will be too late.
Where are you almost? It’s probably not where you want to be, which is why “almost” prefixes most categories and desires.
Jesus can relate. Waiting is hard, and some journeys can sift your Soul to shreds, requiring mending that only The Lord can remediate.
Jesus is with you and understands your pain and worries.
Wistfully looking ahead for more or something else, intimates that we are not complacent with where we are. Your location and status right now, is exactly where you are supposed to be. That maybe joyful or woeful news depending on your perch and disposition. What is your “almost”? Because we are almost at the Cross.
