THE MAN WHO CARRIED JESUS’ CROSS

Oh, what a day that would never be forgotten in the history of both mortals and immortals; the day when an immortal-mortal was annihilated by treacherous mortals. This event has however made a peculiarly indelible impression upon history – the day Jesus Christ died. He was beaten mercilessly, mocked bitterly, insulted obscenely and spat upon awfully. All eyes were on Him with every mouth speaking about Him. The headline of the day, “Crucify Him”. He was the most wearied of men, yet He was made to carry an unbearable piece of timber unto the hill of his execution.

JESUS – HIS KILLERS WERE ENVIOUS OF HIM

 

Complete humility was the nature of this young Rabbi from Nazareth. His name was Jesus – Jesus who claimed to be Christ, the Messiah which the Jews had been expecting. Yes, the long awaited Saviour. The same came unto His people but was rejected by them. Not only did they reject Him, they slaughtered Him like a year old lamb. Approaching His death was not to Him a fear at all, for He knew He was born to die for mankind. The prophets of the Scripture had prophesied and spoken of His fate long before the conception of His earthly parents. He definitely knew why He was born – to deliver His own people from the tyrant who torments them, Sin. But His own people rose up against Him. They killed Him because of their pride and envy.
