Nail Me Down to the cross Mark 8:34;John 20:24-27This message is about the belief of contentment and the importance of embracing the cross in one’s life.The concept of contentment and how society’s desire for more and more possessions and advancements can lead to dissatisfaction and unhappiness.The importance of the cross in Christianity and the need for believers to fully commit themselves to following Jesus, even to the point of sacrifice and obedience.The demands and sacrifices that Jesus’ disciples made, including their willingness to endure persecution and death for their faith.I want to encourage Christians to prioritize their spiritual lives and to be fully committed to God, rather than being influenced by worldly desires and distractions.The significance of the cross in salvation and the need for individuals to surrender their lives to God and nail their problems, fears, and struggles to the cross in order to receive the benefits of Calvary.What are you doing against the will of God now / that you would not have allowed in the past?Lay it down. On your cross. Get the nails out. Surrender to God’s plan for your life.What you value most and make decisions around,can become your idol.There is no stand in for God.Putting God first means your nailed to the Cross.
