Take Your Burdens To Jesus
Contributed by Rev. K. Michael Bryant on Nov 28, 2017 (message contributor)
Summary: We all have troubles in our life. We have times when things just seem to go against us, but it is at these times...when our faith is tested..that we must be strong. Instead of turning to self or turning to man...we need to turn to Jesus.
And you need to know right here today, that Christ has already borne your burdens. Oh Lord. He put them on His back one Friday morning, in the shape of a wooden cross? Ya’ll don’t hear me. He carried that old rugged cross not down hill, not on smooth, flat ground, but he carried it up a hill called Golgatha. Do you here me this morning?
When they took that cross off His back, it wasn’t to give Him any relief. For the Bible tells me, that they took His hands and nailed them to that cross. They took his feet and nailed them to that cross. They took a spear and pierced Him in His side. Can U imagine the agony and the pain that my Savior suffered up on that old rugged cross, just to remove your lying, your cheating, your backbiting, your back stabbing, your killing, your drug using, your adultery, your stealing, your dishonoring of your parents, your covetousness over what your neighbor has.
It must have been a mighty heavy burden , because he didn’t do it just for me. Oh no. He didn’t do it just for you. But he did it to save this old world. Yes he did. So he stayed there bleeding, he stayed there aching, he stayed there moaning, up on that cross, until He said o His Father it is finished and hung His head and died. Oh Lord.
But that wasn’t the end as he PAID IT FORWARD…for you and a wrench like me….oh I said PAID IT FOWRWARD…. early one Sunday morning he got up with all power in His hands. Well brother preacher, how do you know he got up with all power in His hands. Well brother preacher, how do you know he got up with all power in His hands. Well I don’t know about you, but one day when I was still living out in a world of sin, Jesus reached down and removed all my burdens from my back and all of a sudden I could feel how light my load was to bear. That’s why I know today that Jesus is a burden bearer because he removed all of my burdens.
He has PAID IT FORWARD
How I love to call his name.
He’s my Alpha and Omega.
He’s my lily of the Valley.
He’s my bright and morning star.
He’s my doctor when I’m sick.
He’s my lawyer in the court room.
He’s my butcher and my baker.
He’s puts clothes on my back.
He gives me shelter in the time of a storm.
He’s my water in dry places.
He’s my mother and my father.
He’s my battle-ax in the time of a battle.
He’s my friend when I’m friendless.But most of all he’s my savior
