Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Jesus The Christ - James E. Talmage

 Just for my own reference, James E. Talmage suggested - 

"...The man so forced to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, bearing the cross upon which the Savior of the world was to consummate His glorious mission, was Simon, a native of Cyrene. From Mark’s statement that Simon was the father of Alexander and Rufus we infer that the two sons were known to the evangelist’s readers as members of the early Church, and there is some indication that the household of Simon the Cyrenian came to be numbered with the believers."
