Lamentation on the Road to Calvary (Luke 23:26–49) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

This sermon focuses on Jesus's journey to the cross, as recounted in Luke 23:26-36. It highlights Jesus's interaction with the mourning women of Jerusalem and the incident where Simon of Cyrene is compelled to carry the cross. The practical takeaway is to weep for ourselves and our children due to impending judgment, rather than solely for Christ's suffering, recognizing the profound significance of his sacrifice as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy.
