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: No, I wasn't saying that. I was asking a question in response to your question. I wanted to know what Scriptural reference you could point to that said Jesus needed help carrying the cross. It's seems as though you were assuming that because the soldiers forced Simon to carry the cross that Christ was unable to do so Himself and "needed" someone to do it for him. It's a fair assumption and one many have made but we are just not told. I have wondered if maybe God's plan was to use that somehow in Simon's life (but we're not told) or if maybe he was speaking to the heart of a particular soldier who looked upon Christ with mercy not yet knowing that he would in a little while confess that Christ was in fact the son of God. But we can't know it for sure. |
