His Story
‘They compelled a passer-by, who was coming in from the country, to carry his cross.’ Mark 15:21
A passer-by, who was preoccupied with his own life, his own story, suddenly and unexpectedly becomes caught up in Jesus’ story. There is no avoiding his presence, instead Simon of Cyrene is compelled to become a part of something far bigger than himself. And no doubt the experience of carrying Jesus’ cross and then afterwards watching him suffer cruelly by crucifixion at the hand of the Roman soldiers, would have altered him deeply and permanently.
Somehow, in some way, we have all become part of his story. And we have never been the same since. Jesus’ story changes lives; it changes our entire life meaning and purpose - for the better. Our lives are made complete and fulfilling in him. Just as Jesus’ appearance drew Simon of Cyrene, so his appearance in our own lives draws us into a new way of living that is transforming us from glory to glory.
His Holy Spirit in our lives compels us to become deeply entwined more and more with the greatest man in the greatest story this world has ever known. And as we surrender to the Spirit’s unction we are changed into the image of God himself. What an incredible privilege!
‘Thank you Father God that because of Jesus, my life now has meaning and purpose. Help me to surrender myself fully each day to you, for without your presence in my life there is no real life at all.’
