Sermon Notes

Matthew 27:27-32
Mark 15:16-21
John 18 & 19
Luke 9
Romans 16

jesus beaten before taken to be crucified
– weak and bleeding

Simon of Cyrene
– jew from north Africa (modern-day libya)
– suddenly carrying a cross thats not for him
– but jesus retook simon’s place on the cross

each of us are guilty enough die for our own sins

cross = wrath of god

how does it apply today?
– we need to have the mind of christ
– luke 9 – take up cross daily
– follow jesus – will accomplish gods work

romans 16:13
– possible mention of simon’s son

christ carried our cross of wrath so that we dont have to
we carry the cross of discipleship
