An uplifting new song titled, ‘All in’ by worship artist Jesus Culture performed with Brett Lee Miller in a live performance. When Jesus told his disciples in Matthew 16:24, “Take up your cross and follow me,” he didn’t mean to take the cross as a burden or with self-pitying pride. The cross meant one thing and one thing only, death by crucifixion. To carry the cross meant facing the most horrific death imaginable. The call to take up your cross was a call to self-sacrifice and humility. He was calling us to be willing to die in order to follow Jesus. He was asking that we die to ourselves in complete surrender to him.
It still sounds as if it is a deep, dark burden to bare. But the beauty of following Jesus is abundant joy and finding new life in him. After he commanded his disciples to take up their cross, he then said, “For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it,” (Matthew 16:25). In other words, there is new life, new hope, and new possibilities in Christ. He is calling us to be all in for him and there is nothing better than this amazing, uplifting performance of the song, ‘All In.” Jesus Culture and Brett Lee Miller create a mesmerizing, hand-raising, foot-tapping worship song that reminds us of the glorious joy we have when we decide to go all in for God.
The music track was recently released this summer in a new project titled, “Why Not Right Now?” What I love most about the release of ‘All In’ is the live video recorded in Costa Mesa, California. The video is already taking over the internet with over 31,000 views and I can’t help but hmm the chorus line,
You’re calling, calling
Here I am
I’m all in, all in
Take everything
You’re worth it, worth it
Wherever You lead me I will follow
How about you? Are you ready to take up your cross and be all in for Jesus? May this song be the worship moment you need to tell Jesus you are all in.
“Take up your cross and follow me,” Matthew 16:24.
