Mar 15:20 | MHM | STEP | v. 20–21 : When it was time, the soldiers led Jesus out to be crucified (Mark 15:20 ). He was taken out with criminals, even though he had done nothing wrong. Because Jesus was weak from the beatings, the soldiers forced a man named Simon from Cyrene, who was just passing by, to carry Jesus’ cross. Sometimes, crosses or troubles come upon us suddenly, just as they did for Simon. Even though it seemed like a hard task, Simon is now remembered forever in the Bible for helping Jesus. In the same way, our hardships can lead to honor and blessing if we remain faithful (Hebrews 12:11 ).

v. 20–21: When it was time, the soldiers led Jesus out to be crucified (Mark 15:20 ^a). He was taken out with criminals, even though he had done nothing wrong. Because Jesus was weak from the beatings, the soldiers forced a man named Simon from Cyrene, who was just passing by, to carry Jesus’ cross. Sometimes, crosses or troubles come upon us suddenly, just as they did for Simon. Even though it seemed like a hard task, Simon is now remembered forever in the Bible for helping Jesus. In the same way, our hardships can lead to honor and blessing if we remain faithful (Hebrews 12:11 ^b).
