The Hill That Crushed Me
Manage episode 493894303 series 3670687
Ever tried to “be good enough” for God—and collapsed under the pressure?
In this episode of Wisdom & Wit, Bible teacher Chris Reighley takes us to the foot of a crushing hill: Mount Sinai. Drawing from Galatians 2:21 and The Pilgrim’s Progress, we explore what happens when you trade grace for performance and end up buried under guilt, exhaustion, and legalism.
Christian, the pilgrim, tried the detour. So have many of us. But Paul’s words are clear: if righteousness comes by the Law, then Christ died for nothing. And that’s a hill too steep for any soul to climb.
This episode is for every believer who’s tired of striving, ashamed of falling, and desperate for rest. You don’t have to prove yourself. Jesus already did.
Stop climbing. Start trusting. Grace meets you at the bottom with nail-scarred hands and open arms.
