Good Friday - Take Up His Cross

Simon of Cyrene was forced to help carry the cross of Christ on the road from the city of Jerusalem to the outlying hill of Golgotha. This experience would so mark him that we would later convert to Christianity with his two children, Alexander and Rufus. When we lay down our own wants and desires for the cross of Jesus, we are like Simon "taking up His cross" and following after Christ, Luke 9:23. Inspiration: Mark 15:21. Description: oil on canvas.
