How is God using the cross I didn’t choose to reveal the purpose I never expected?
In this powerful message from Matthew 27:32–37, Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. reminds us that sometimes the most life-changing moments are the ones we didn’t plan. Our prayer is that as you reflect on Simon of Cyrene’s story, you’ll see how God can turn your discomfort, disappointment, and even pain into divine purpose.
