Jesus, Jesus, Jesus - 29 April 2009 |
|
Life is complicated. Fortunately, the Bible contains all we need to deal with every ethically significant decision we will ever face.
However, this brings with it a further danger. Mature Christians can become so preoccupied with the challenging decisions of daily life, not to mention the thrilling and enriching biblical answers to them, that other vital aspects of our faith can easily be neglected, if not displaced completely from the centre of our attention.
For example, it’s possible for our concerns about bringing up kids, our engagement with contemporary political and social issues, our zeal for evangelism and apologetics and our excitement about the profound depths of the Bible’s teaching to distract us from Jesus. There’s no need for this to be the case – there’s nothing intrinsic to the above concerns that should prevent us being Christ-centred. But just in terms of the sheer amount of time we spend thinking about different things, it’s easy to get out of balance and lose the centre.
How much time do we spend just thinking about and glorying in our magnificent Saviour?
Hebrews will re-orient our priorities. Because Hebrews is all about Jesus.
