carrying the cross

“A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.”

-like Simon, can we carry some of the burden with our suffering Lord?

-is He asking us to help carry the burden of another’s suffering?

-can we look over and see the face of our radiant Lord and journey beside him?

 

-Mark 15:21

welcome in the king of glory…

Lift up your heads, you gates;
be lifted up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.

Who is this King of glory?
The Lord strong and mighty,
the Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, you gates;
lift them up, you ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in.

Who is he, this King of glory?
The Lord Almighty—
he is the King of glory.

-Psalm 24: 7-10
