Jesus was carrying the heavy cross. Simon was forced to carry this cross. Matthew 27:32 says "As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry His cross."
Let's analyze the persons who carry the cross in the present day family, and whether some one else has to carry it to reduce the burden.
Are we ready to help our husbands when they carry the cross ? Being the head of the family, husband may be the one who carry the cross. Husbands are supposed to work very hard for the benefit of the family. He is the one who meet all the necessities of the family, sometimes he even allow luxuries for the family members. He may forget about his well being for the benefit of the family. He may not spend for luxuries, so that that money can be used for the necessities or luxuries of wife or children. Dear wives, are you ready to lend a helping hand ? Or let him to carry the cross alone, as it's his responsibility ?
Are we ready to help our wives when they carry the cross? Now a days, the number of working wives are increasing. Most of them may be struggling to earn. They may be working late when they are supposed to spend the time with the family. Are we a type of an husband who relaxes at home after sending our wife for earning. Don't we have a responsibility as the husband to help her to carry the cross, so that her burden will be lesser ?
Are we ready to help our children to when they carry the cross ? Our children may have different issues. It may be in their studies, or it may be something else. Are we leaving them to solve the issues on their own ? Dear parents, don't we have a responsibility to help them solve their problems ? They may be working to earn money for their education. Being the parent, are we ready to lend a helping hand ?
Are we ready to help your parents when they carry the cross ? Our parents will be working very hard to earn for our living and education. They may not be living in luxury or some times even without the necessities of life. They are struggling to give us a better living. Being a son or daughter, are we ready to lend a helping hand ?
We should not be helping to carry the cross by force as Simon did. We should have the willingness to lend a helping hand to others who are carrying the 'cross'. At least to carry a part of that cross so as to give a relief to the person carrying it.
