Mark 15:21 A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross.
Simon showed a moment of compassion and the Romans took full advantage of it by then forcing Simon to continue carrying the cross from that point onward.
The world does not care for us and will take full advantage of us when we do show compassion; it does not have scruples or compassion like we do!
The Romans did not care for his position in any church or how he was known in the church, they just used him. Don’t expect anything else from the world!
