Toss All Your Burdens to Him

by Pastor Ken

John 1:29

The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

For two and a half months, my wife and I traveled to different Asian countries and cities.

I saw beautiful green forests. Among the trees, many great temples and well-crafted statues attracted tourists.

I remember I worshiped some of those before. When I met Jesus at the age of 10, I immediately fell in love with Him. Since then, Jesus has been my refuge.

The cross where Jesus died for me became my safety and shelter. Because Jesus atoned for my sin through His blood on the cross, the deadly power of sin cannot reach me.

In Bali, Indonesia, I woke up one morning at 1:30 am. “I need the greatest Savior. I need Christ,” I thought, for I felt myself to be the greatest sinner. In the darkness, I started to talk to Jesus, telling Him all my burdens and responsibilities.

I lifted up my head, looking away from myself, away from my poisonous, venomous sin. I solely focused on the uplifted Savior, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

I felt as if Jesus told me, “Toss all your burdens to Me. They are My responsibility now.”

I did.

Immediately, I felt light. Virtually all my worries went away completely.

Jesus is with you now.

Toss all your burdens to Him. He will gladly take them all and will give you peace.


Reflection

How do I imagine tossing my problems to Jesus? How can I do it now?


Prayer

Dear Jesus, the Lamb of God, Please take all my burdens. Grant me Your peace. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
