Intro: One of the more difficult aspects of the crucifixion for me is the story of carrying the cross to Golgotha.
After Jesus was convicted by Pilate and condemned to crucifixion, He was required to carry his own cross, a common practice – – yet later Simon had to carry it – – shows that Jesus was apparently unable to bear the cross alone – .
I) We need help with our crosses
Jesus set the example for us – – including needing help to take up our cross –
We should not be embarrassed to need help, Satan is stronger than us – – we will fail without help –
It takes humility, wisdom, and selflessness to admit our need and ask for help –
II) Where to find help
Friends – ;
Bible – – written to give us hope – – everything we need
Prayer – – with persistence – – confidence – – for peace
III) We must help others with their crosses
As Peter’s friends did –
Fulfill the law of Christ – ; – by helping those in need –
Strengthen the entire body – ; ; – one of the most important purposes of local churches
Return the kindness and generosity of others – ;
Concl: We should not be ashamed to admit our need for help, it is a strength to recognize our weaknesses and seek support to overcome them.
