Millions of people through the ages have labored and fought to get their names in the record of history, but Simon of Cyrene was pushed into the pages of history.

Mary The Mother Of James And Joses. Series

Contributed by Claude Alexander on Mar 10, 2021

Luke 8:1-3 names some of the women who are recorded in the resurrection account. Without the resurrection Jesus can be viewed as just another good man who died for His cause - or a Roman crucifixion of a false messiah.

Jesus and the Eleven Disciples left the upper room and walked over to the Garden of Gethsemane. There Jesus prayed earnestly to the Father. Even though the disciples had come along with Him, our Lord was probably never so alone as He was at this time.
