Mark 15: 21-24. And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. And they brought him to the place called Golgotha which means Place of a Skull. And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.
We have seen the continuous mistreatment of Jesus - the nonstop questioning, ridicule and abuse. Now the rapidity increases as Mark quickly summarizes the events that led up to Christ hanging on the cross. Now time will seem to slow abruptly as we look at every detail and personality. Now is the time for us to slow down and look to Christ on the cross for me.
