AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 23:26 ¶ When they led Him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in [to the city] from the country, and placed on him the cross to carry behind Jesus. [Matt 27:32; Mark 15:21] |
Bible Question: Luke 23: 26 So are you saying he had the strength, but god just choose Simon coming in from the country to carry it. |
Bible Answer: Hi, cem... I believe that jlhetrick was asking a question, not making an assertion. I do not think that the Romans were concerned about our Lord Jesus Christ's lack of ability to carry the cross, so much as they were wanting to hasten the process and to insure that He remained alive for the crucifixion itself. Note that "why" questions are the most difficult of questions -- particularly those that delve into the intents and purposes of the Godhead. Without those things being specifically revealed in the Word, we cannot know them (cf Deuteronomy 29:29). Speculation might be interesting, but it will remain just that, along with all the issues that accompany it. In Him, Doc PS There is a convention in the forum -- certainly not a requirement -- that when one asks an individual a question, simply mark it as a note. That way, the general forum questions show up properly at the top of the home page, and do not get lost in the hubbub of general interaction. After all, when posting something as a follow up to someone else's note, they will be properly notified. |
