He Took All The Difficult So That You Can Have All The Easy
After explaining the way of salvation that it is by grace through faith in Christ and not by works (Eph. 2:8-9), a lot of people find it surprisingly simple.
They would say: "Why, that's too simple. I thought it should be complicated! It's too easy. It can't be the way of salvation!"
In reply, I would point them to the cross and explain to them: "It is simple like that because Somebody died to make it simple for us. It was the Lord Jesus who died for our sins. It should have been us there, but He took all the difficult so that we can have all the easy."
My friend, it's now easy and simple for you because it was difficult and hard for Him. He took all the difficult so that you can have all the easy.
He swallowed all the bitter so that you can have all the sweet. He took all the rough so that you can have all the smooth. He took all the low so that you can have all the high. He took all the storm so that you can have all the calm. He took all the pain so that you can have all the gain.
Will you now receive freely the salvation that He alone worked so hard for you? Will you put your trust in Him and what He did on the cross for your salvation?
