And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. Mark 15:21 ESV
To think of our Lord's body which was so bruised, beaten and battered that He could not carry the heavy wooden cross to Calvary should make us reflect more deeply on His immense suffering on our behalf in order that we may have sins forgiven and relationship with God restored.
Dear Heavenly Father, grant me spiritual understanding of Christ's painful journey of crucifixion and death so that my heart desire shall always be in alignment with Christ's mission of love and forgiveness towards fallen humanity.
