Our message for Sunday, March 21, looked at Jesus' last day, leading up to the cross. While we don't actually look at the crucifixion here, we do look a little at the punishment He received at the hands of Pilate, and at the events leading up to the crucifixion.
We see that because Jesus was so weak after the flogging and the beatings, that He stumbled trying to carry His cross. The Roman Soldiers grabbed an innocent bystander, Simon, to carry the cross for Him.
In Luke 9:23, Jesus tells us that "if anyone would come after me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily, and follow me." Understanding the floggings, the beatings, and being forced to carry His cross to the hilltop, what does it mean for us to carry our crosses. We know what Jesus went through. What must we go through?
