CROSS-BEARERS

WHAT MATTERS

Dr. C. Branker.

Every day we need to remind ourselves, that we are here to do God's will and not fashion our own lives for ourselves.

Jesus taught His disciples the lesson on the importance of doing the Father's  will and not their own.

He said " Whosoever want to be my disciple must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me". Matthew 6:24.

Perhaps it would have been befitting, if Peter or another disciple was selected to help Jesus carry the cross to Calvary, but that didn't happen. A total stranger from a different country, who was doing his own business was chosen. Simon from Cyrene.

Needless to say, the man's life was totally changed as the mob and the government soldiers marched to Golgotha's hill.

Simon was snatched and forced to carry the cross. 

The purpose for cross-bearers, is that no one can do the work that Jesus did on the cross for the world, but He need cross-bearers to carry the message.
