Deflate or Pop (Get out of the way of the cross)

October 26th, 2008 by Todd

Two weeks ago I shared an illustration using a balloon and the cross.  The balloon represents us, and the cross represents what Jesus gave to us.  We continue to feed our own needs, wants, and ego without realizing we have gotten in the way of the cross.  Our world needs to hear about the cross.  Our world needs to hear the gospel.  It is time to get out of the way.  

“He must become greater; I must become less.” John 3:30

In Jesus, we can be transformed from unhealthy to healthy.

Selfishness to Selflessness

Pride to Humility

Insecurity to Love

Resentment to Forgiveness
