The sermon is from Luke 23:26-31 – “A Time to Weep for Ourselves and Our Children.” “… they seized one Simon of Cyrene …” – Luke 23:26

God’s providence in our lives often amazes and surprises us. Plans change. Expectations wither and die. The trajectory of our life changes in an instant. Well, place yourself in the sandals of Simon of Cyrene. You have arrived in Jerusalem (probably to observe Passover). You see a mob carrying out a crucifixion and then, suddenly, you are seized and forced to carry the condemned man’s cross. Do you think Simon was ever the same? He unknowingly participated in the most significant event in human history. He certainly bore witness to this event. His sons and his wife are mentioned elsewhere in the New Testament (Mark 15:21; Romans 16:13)
