This morning, I ask the Lord to help me with my story for young adults and those who are just a kid at heart and as I was writing part of illustration of why these children in the story couldn't see what was on the pages of 'the book' - that spoke of them, it became clear that they couldn't read the pages because they hadn't received the message (the key) that allowed them to read the pages.
In our world Jesus Christ is the key to open the pages of the bible and to life. Without Jesus the pages of the bible and to life are meaningless and even difficult to understand.
Jesus is the foundation of our faith. He is the one who pursued us when we were far away from him. He is the one who allowed our 'blindness' to fall from our eyes and transformed our hearts and minds so we could forgive and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and the needs of others.
Christ needs to be central in every thought, action and deed in our Christian lives.
Jesus is our hope. Not some hope we imagine but know in our hearts because He has touched and is continuing to touch our lives.
Jesus is who we trust in every aspect of our lives.
Jesus is the REAL love, the REAL understanding, the REAL authority, the REAL servant heart, the REAL consoling spirit, the REAL miracle maker, is the REAL LIFE and EVERLASTING LIFE.
Jesus needs to be central. Without him we are just lost and running around circles.
