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.
