The Path of Simon or The Perils of Jerusalem

The Path of Simon or The Perils of Jerusalem

Luke 23:26-31

In this segment of his Gospel, Luke introduces Simon of Cyrene, unexpectedly tasked with bearing the weight of the Lord Jesus’ cross. A multitude, accompanied by wailing women, closely follows. However, the narrative takes a striking turn— the Lord Jesus redirects their attention. It’s not about Him; it’s about the dark and tragic future awaiting them and their children.
