Crosswalk Daily Study

Text of the Day: As the soldiers led him away, they seized Simon from Cyrene, who was on his way in from the country, and put the cross on him and made him carry it behind Jesus. (Luke 23:26)

Reflection Questions:

1 — Have you ever been called upon to help someone out at the last minute? Did you answer the call? 

2 —How do you think you would feel about being conscripted into service by an invading force? Would that make you want to help or to be hesitant? 

3 —If you are studying this story for the first time, what questions do you have that the person you are studying with can answer? We suggest that you read the story that led us to this moment, starting from the beginning of Luke, Chapter 23.

Awakening - This is the action of becoming conscious. We move from sleep to wake, from unfocused to focused. This series, our study focuses on many of the words that were said from the Cross of Christ that have evoked an awakening in people to the love, grace, compassion, and hope of Jesus. For two millennia these words have shocked humanity, divided them, and saved them. What we see of these final hours in the life of Jesus, by transcending the synoptic gospels and the gospel of John, is a Savior that is worth knowing, worth loving, and worth following. We hope you use this guide to study with someone who might not know Christ, or has a curiosity about him. As well, if you are using this guide for yourself, then may you find the grace of Christ within these words. Thank you for your continued commitment to studying the word of God and to agreeing to manifest him in your life. You are grace because of it.

Lovewell,

Pastor Tim
