Simon of Cyrene did not have a pleasant and easy experience as he
picked up the cross of Jesus, struggled, and carried the cross up
Golgotha's Hill. The road he had to travel was hard and rough. It
was a mandate from God that this Simon should carry the cross for
His Son. It was God's will that Simon lead the scapegoat to a place
for the deliverance of the entire world. Any story concerning the
crucifixion is inherently interesting. This one, told from the
point of view of an ordinary man from Cyrene named Simon, is
especially intimate, as close to the cross as one can get without
viewing events through the eyes of Christ Himself. The close
details of the brutality against Jesus are made more vivid because
Simon was right there, and we experience the horror through his
eyes. What would've happened had Simon not carried the cross of
Jesus up the Hill of Golgotha? What kind of example would be shown
if he started the journey and not completed the task that God
intended for him? These are two extremely thought-provoking
questions, promoting a fresh perspective on this historical and
world-changing event Mable Mitchell, the second of ten siblings,
