THE Choice

1/27/2010

Heard recently in passing, of all places, in a movie preview:

“You need to decide whether you’re hanging on the cross…or banging in the nails.”

That single line of truth accurately describes ALL of the human race and its great divide. I find that it also describes my own choices throughout any given day, whether I am taking up my cross and laying down my life for others in costly ways or whether I am causing Jesus more shame, working against Him and crucifying Him afresh. My heart’s choice is to lay down my life for others.

And for those who think there is some sort of middle ground, some in between choice…there is NOT.

“You need to decide whether you’re hanging on the cross…or banging in the nails.”
