Walk With Jesus During Holy Week: Good Friday Late Morning

We sometimes say, figuratively, “I feel like the weight of the world is on my shoulders.” About this time of day, some 2,000 years ago, Jesus literally carried the weight of the world, the sins of the world, the brokenness of the world, on His shoulders!

John 19:17 tells us that Jesus carried His own cross. The Synoptics (Matthew, Mark, Luke) don’t use that language. They imply it and tell us that Simon of Cyrene helps because Jesus was too weak from the brutal beating that He had just endured.

Today, as back then, Jesus lovingly desires to lessen your load. His back is stronger than yours. What can you “unload” right now?
