Is the gospel enough for you?

Is it enough?

I think it could be a simple question, but it's needed because sometimes it feels like it's not.

Like, I actually really want to acknowledge that.

There are some things that we go through in the human life that feel so dang unbearable.

Jesus.

I think those are actually the times where I find myself resting in the neediness of Christ is when I'm like, oh man, this junk sucks.

And like, I actually don't know how to do this on my own.

And this feels really scary and crazy.

And you know, this isn't easy.

And

I think in a nutshell, Jesus never promised an easy life.

He promised an easy yoke, and a yoke still is something.

And it gets hard.

It gets hard.

Like, that's just life, right?

And I think it's important to ask that question, is the gospel enough for me?

When I see Christ, him crucified, when I look at him, and not even just, I shared about this on the podcast a little while ago, but like actually knowing what happened in the crucifixion.

We see very pretty images of Jesus crucified.

He's just on.
