It's irrelevant.
It all comes down to the cross.
And if the cross is true, which I believe with my whole heart that is true, why so many times have I been unwilling to share?
And I really came down to two things.
One, either I don't really believe the message of the gospel.
Or two, I don't really love people enough.
Because I couldn't actually find another excuse for why so many times I just wasn't willing to share.
And you could find them all over the place.
But man, it really came down ultimately to those two things.
Did I just really not believe the gospel?
Or did I really not love people enough that I was willing to care more about them liking me than them knowing Jesus?
And I feel like I failed at that so much that I've chose people liking me over them knowing the love of God.
And that was just some of the heart behind this and trying to tell this in a fresh new way where people would get a new perspective.
And we wouldn't grow callous to the cross because some of my favorite heroes in the faith, especially my mom and dad, when you bring up Calvary's cross, man, they can't help but get emotional because they're so tender to it.
And we just, I think sometimes in the churchy world, we grow up in it and it just becomes these like words and phrases we say all the time.
And we forget the
The tenderness and the compassion and the sacrifice that we need to, and the reverence we need to hold when we talk about the cross because of severity, because it is everything.
And I think when we really understand the gospel, I think there's three things that really stand out.
One is we realize the gravity of what we have been saved from.
that we have been saved from eternal separation from God.
