English term or phrase: Get off the cross, we need the wood

Get off the cross, we need the wood (for the fire)
Get off the cross — somebody needs the wood
Come down off the cross, we could use the wood

这些句子似乎都是来自于圣经，大意是劝人不要再抱着受害者心态，去做些有用的事吧！

我把它翻成：别再怨天尤人了，积极看待人生吧。不知是否有更好的建议？谢谢！

Explanation:
这是感叹教会过于强调“好”神学和“正确”的崇拜的重要性，却没有把耶稣放在日常生活中最平凡的困恼中，让我们日常生活的核心是活出耶稣的样子。
