Now as they led Him away, they laid hold of a certain man, Simon a Cyrenian, who was coming from the country, and on him they laid the cross that he might bear it after Jesus. And a great multitude of the people followed Him, and women who also mourned and lamented Him. The usual interpretation of this verse says that the people will be in despair at the destruction that surrounds them and those who have small children and babies to care for will be under more duress than others. Consider, if you will, an alternate point of view. Whatever it is will be worse than what Jesus is going through right at that moment in time, being led to His execution.
Childlessness is praised and nursing is abhorred.
Jesus said this was worse than being put to death on a cross. Indeed these things are very publicly stated and actually honored. It is something to think about.
