Men of the Bible: Simon of Cyrene

 Men of the Bible: Simon of Cyrene by ric gustafson


Jesus was dragging his cross. He was exhausted from a sleepless night and brutal treatment in the morning from the Romans. At one point, Jesus sank under the weight of his cross. 
Watching was a Jewish pilgrim from the North African city of Cyrene. Jesus could not go another step. The centurion in charge looked around for a strong male to carry the cross. He saw Simon. He gave him the job of carrying Jesus's cross. Simon played a part in Jesus's story.
Simon of Cyrene was a man of the Bible.
