The worst thing you can do as a Christian is to try and put Jesus first in your life.
I know it sounds good, and Lord knows, I’ve said it plenty:
Put Jesus first, your family second, your job third…
But it’s a flawed paradigm.
Jesus doesn’t want to be first on your list. He doesn’t need your shout out.
He’s not content to be first in your life.
He insists on being the center of your life.
Putting Jesus first in my life means I kind of segregate Him from my other priorities.
Making Him the center of my life means I integrate Him into every priority.
It’s not Jesus, then my family, then my job…
It’s Jesus: in my family, in my job…
It’s not Jesus, then anything…
It’s Jesus in everything!
Said that phrase many times God help me to keep you at the centre of everything.
