ONLY Guy to Actually HELP Jesus. Mark 15:21 (S3-Episode #44)

The crucifixion process is gruesome.  Today there is spitting, stripping, fake homage, and hitting.

But there is also a HERO of the crucifixion.  Besides Jesus, there is SIMON of Cyrene.  He's just in from N. Africa.  He's just in time for the Passover.  Probably had some trouble on the way. 

Jesus is in real, physical, and practical need.  He's all blood-lossed and weary.  He starts bearing His own cross.  But then He cannot.  He is fully human and the tank is empty.  

Think of this:  your salvation depends on Jesus getting to the cross successfully.  The critical moment of your DEATH depends on Jesus getting to the cross successfully.  Your payment for the debt you cannot pay of sin depends on Jesus getting to the cross successfully.  

Will Jesus make it? NO.  You, me, and world history is in BIG TROUBLE.  Jesus doesn't make it to the cross.  

Except for the rest of the story.  Enter:  SIMON of Cyrene.  This is an amazing story.  Share it by sharing this podcast.  Then, when we get to heaven, let's buy this guy lunch.
