Grace for your spirit March 24, 2011

Grace for your spirit
As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross. Matthew 27:32

Jesus was carrying His cross to His own execution. It was a well known practice by the Romans. Jesus was falling down under the weight, and the soldiers drafted a man from the crowd. Without hesitation or a though of danger, he stepped up to carry the Lord's cross. Who knows, later they might have thought the cross for him? Are we ready to step into the death chamber for the Lord? When Jesus calls us to take His cross and follow Him, it is an invitation to die. Dying to self is the first big step into being His true disciple.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
