The Story Behind “Show You The Cross”

When I first had a real encounter with Jesus, that brought healing into my life, I wanted to shout it from the rooftops and tell everyone, “if you’re hurting, this is real”. For me sharing my faith publicly came with a lot of pressure and I subconsciously put an expectation on myself that I needed to always be ready to say the right thing at the right time if someone were to ask me about Christianity. But through many conversations I realized that big words and inspirational quotes are empty if they don’t point towards something greater. I had to remember that though the change that had happened in me was complex, it was the simplicity of the Gospel that brought me to Christ. Galatians 2:20 says “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me”. I believe that message, the profound simplicity and power of the Cross is all that a broken world needs.
