4. The Crucified Jesus Is Not to Be Pitied by Mankind (Luke 23:26-31)

In today’s Scripture reading, we see Jesus carrying the Cross to Mount Calvary. By this time Jesus was already exhausted from receiving forty stripes minus one. When He could not bear the weight of the Cross, the Roman soldiers grabbed a Cyrenian man named Simon and made him bear the Cross. There was a group of women mourning and lamenting at that time, who adored Jesus as His followers. To these crying women, Jesus said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.” Today, I would like to bear witness of what Jesus said to the women here, as it entails many spiritual lessons for us now also.
