Why Me? For Such A Time As This: Simon of Cyrene
In arrogant spite and hate, Jesus was mocked. Christ took all of that for you and for me. God sent Him because He loves us SO much. You can imagine how weak and tired our Lord was. Simon of Cyrene was forced to carry Jesus' cross. The cross is not popular, except in jewelry, but to speak of the Cross of Christ is not a popular subject. It screams that we are sinners in desperate need of a Savior.
