CARRY YOUR CROSS

PASTOR KEN SIMMONS

Greetings Saints! God says: Listen! Simon of Cyrene's (In Hebrew means‎‎ "Hearkening; listening") home town, Cyrene, Libya, was located in northern Africa. It was a Greek colony and also had a Jewish community where 100,000 Judean Jews had been forced to settle from (323–285 BC) and was an early center of Christianity. The Bible says: Simon was the man compelled by the Romans to carry the cross of Jesus as Jesus was taken to his crucifixion, according to all three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) The Bible says: “And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.” Luke‬ ‭23:26‬ ‭ESV‬‬. See, we all have a Cross to bare but Jesus is leading the way! So we are to endure the burden of carrying our Cross while the fight that's in it is not ours to bare. Because at the end of these burdens, problems and pains, we move out the way and give them over to Christ who has died for them anyway! The Bible also says: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” Ephesians‬ ‭6:12‬ ‭ESV‬‬ So bare the cross like Simon of Cyrene and allow Jesus to lead the way! Trust God! And leave all your problems at the alter (Cross)! Amen! I love you all with the Love of Jesus Christ! Stay Blessed and Faithful!
