All in Focus on Jesus

As Christians we claim that Jesus Christ is Lord, but so many of us continue to fret over the world as if it still reigns supreme in our lives... and when we do this, it will reclaim that throne. Are we one of those who says that they trust in God, and then busily works at trying to solve the world’s problems ourselves rather than trusting in Him? Are national and world politics more than casual interests to us? Do we worry ourselves sick over our health and dying despite knowing that we are already dead to this world, and are eternally secure in the next? Well let’s revisit our faith, who we are, and who we are worshiping.

What is the focus of our life? Is there something or someone that fascinates us beyond anyone, or anything we have ever known? Are we infatuated with the things of this world, or do our thoughts center on God and Jesus? Do we find our attention to be fixed on the divine, or on the physical world around us? The question I am hoping we will pose to ourselves today is this… Are we predominantly spiritual beings who are passing through a physical place, or physical creatures living out our lives in the world? Our answer will ultimately determine whether we are fascinated with Jesus or fixed on earthly things.
