Blacks in the Bible: Simon, the Cyrene


From Matthew 27: 31-32 the Holy Bible reads that

the Roman soldiers of Governor Pilate "led Him

away to be crucified. Now as they came out, they

found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they

compelled to bear his cross."

From the pages of the Bible we read about the greatness of black men and women.

Simon was a black man who was forced to carry

the cross of the Christ, Jesus, who was the son

of the living god. He carried the cross up to

Golgotha, Place of the Skull where

unrighteous men tortured and

killed our Lord and Saviour of the world.


We are a strong people! We are a great people!

Never forget who you are and to whom you belong!
