DESCRIPTION:

After being ruthlessly tortured by the Romans, Jesus Christ was forced to carry His cross to the place where He would be crucified.

At first, Jesus Christ carried His own cross ( John 19:17) . But, eventually, likely due to the extreme torture He had already endured, Jesus Christ was no longer able to carry His cross.

As a result, the Roman soldiers forced another man to help Jesus Christ carry the cross.

A Black man, Simon of Cyrene, carried the Cross of Christ ( Matthew 27:32; Mark 15:21; Luke 23:26 ).

Christianity is not a "Black Man's" religion. Christianity is not a "White Man's" religion.

No!!

It's "World Religion."

Simon of Cyrene was the man who helped Jesus Christ carry the cross. For that, he is “immortalized” in the pages of Scripture.

Hopefully, after receiving an extreme close-up of the suffering Jesus Christ endured on our behalf, Simon of Cyrene also came to trust Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior.

Let's be clear ...

Simon may have borne the cross part of the way to Golgotha, but Jesus Christ bore Simon’s sin ( 1st John 2:2 ).

Okay, but how do you know Jesus Christ is who He claims to be?

He did something amazing to prove it.
