You Can't. But Jesus Can

About this episode

We live in a world filled with beauty and wonder, adventure and laughter, but also too often filled with difficulty, fear, danger, and pain. Courage is the quality of spirit that enables one to face danger, pain, difficulty, or fear with confidence. We can have confidence! Not based on our own ability to manage life but based on the faithfulness of Jesus. Confidence is from the Latin words con and fide, which mean “with faith.” Our confidence rests in the strength and goodness of God. Living a life of courage is not about striving to become something or someone else. It is resting by faith in the God who says, I have called you, and I will do it! (1 Thess. 5:24)...


The secret is you can’t. You can’t. But Jesus can. Christ in you can. He is the secret! There is nothing that makes God tremble. Jesus who died on the cross for you entered into the worst nightmare imaginable and demanded that Satan hand over the keys to hell. Jesus rose triumphantly and is seated at the right hand of God… Jesus is alive today and living his life through you.

We live in a world filled with beauty and wonder, adventure and laughter, but also too often filled with difficulty, fear, danger and pain. Courage is the quality of spirit that enables one to face danger, pain, difficulty or fear with confidence. We can have confidence, not based on our own ability to manage life, but based on the faithfulness of Jesus. Confidence is from the Latin words con and fide, which means with faith. Our confidence rests in the strength and goodness of God. Living a life of courage is not about striving to become something or someone else. It is resting by faith in the God who says, I have called you and I will do it, 1 Thessalonians 5, 24. The secret is, you can't, you can't, but Jesus can.

Christ in you can. He is the secret. There is nothing that makes God tremble. Jesus, who died on the cross for you, entered into the worst nightmare imaginable and demanded that Satan hand over the keys to hell. Jesus rose triumphantly and is seated at the right hand of God. Jesus is alive today and living his life through you.
