I Have Learned to Be Content
Scripture References: Philippians 4:11

The glory of the Resurrection is real, but it’s coupled with the tragedy of the Crucifixion. Even if you’re not religious, it’s one of the most pivotal moments in world history.
But a big question remains…who’s responsible for the death of Jesus?
The usual suspects emerge: Pilate, the Romans, and the Jews. Scripturally though, the Bible talks about how we’re all responsible (1 Peter 2:18-25).
Realistically though, the responsibility is with me. Not everyone (although that is true), but with me. I’m responsible. Me. Just me.
Personalizing the Cross is important, because it reminds me of God’s love. Even if nobody else had sinned, my sins would’ve been enough to put Jesus on the cross.
What a powerful concept for us to think on.

CloseWhat is contentment, and why is it so important in the life of a Christian? Many of us seek for it constantly, as if it's some elusive feeling that we can only find once we're enlightened. As Paul says in Philippians 4:11 though, contentment isn't something we acquire, it's something we learn. Here's how you can learn it too.
