The Cross That Broke the Chains
Manage episode 494074265 series 3670687
What if the guilt you’re dragging around has already been cut loose?
In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley brings us to one of the most powerful moments in The Pilgrim’s Progress: the Cross. It’s where Christian’s burden finally falls—and it’s where yours can too.
Romans 8:1 opens with a liberating thunderclap: “There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” That’s not wishful thinking—it’s gospel reality. The chains are broken. The burden is gone. And the enemy’s accusations have been silenced by grace.
If shame still stalks your steps or if your past keeps trying to rewrite your story, this episode will remind you where true freedom is found.
Jesus didn’t die to make your burden lighter—He died to lift it completely.
