When we come to the Lord Jesus and give our lives to him he takes the burden of our sin and rolls it away, but then as we go through life we experience suffering, hurt, pain, and we pick up burdens. Hebrews 12 tells us to lay aside every weight and the sin which easily besets us because there is a race to be run. When we come to the end of our journey I hope that we can say we have fought a good fight, kept the faith, and run the race well, to the best of our ability. I hope this sermon will encourage you to bring your troubles and burdens to the cross and leave them there and let the Lord give you something better.
