There is no specific theological significance except that is an episode that confirms Jesus' condition before crucufixion. Roman crucifixion was almost always preceded by scourging (whipping) that was so severe that often victims didn't survive it. Jesus' scourging would have been no less severe. As well as leather whips, Romans also had whips containing pelletsof lead that dug into the flesh and muscle tearing it at each stroke. Often wounds dug through to the bone. As well as much blood loss, the victim would also go into severe shock.
Thus his collapse on the way to the Cross signified Jesus' utter exhaustion and weakness due to blood loss and shock. This helps us understand why Jesus died so quickly in the Cross. There are those sceptics, who know little about Roman crucifixion, who claim that victms always took days to die and this was 'evidence' that Jesus didn't really die on the Cross. However, contrary to this, and bearing in mind his collapse on the way to the Cross, it is surprising that he lasted the six hours on it that he did before death finally came.

A:Mark's Gospel does not actually mention Jesus carrying his cross, although it is assumed he did at first, until Simon of Cyrene, who was passing by, was ordered to carry the cross for Jesus (Mark 15:21). This is followed by both Matthew and Luke, which are more or less directly dependent on Mark. It is in John's Gospel that we find Jesus carrying the cross all the way to the site of his crucifixion - John 19:17.
JudisAnswer:The New Testament contains no mention of anyone kissing Jesus on the cheek when He was carrying the cross. Judas had betrayed Jesus with a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane hours before, when He was arrested.
If a person wants to understand the significance of the cross, they should read the bible. The bible will contain the history of the cross, as well as what happened when Jesus died on the cross.
