Good morning,
I will be having cataract surgery on the 10th and 17th of February. I asked some of my friends to do the Daily Devotions for the next two weeks.
I appreciate your willingness to help me. You were chosen because you have played an important part in my growth, knowledge of God’s word, encouragement, or faithfulness in service over the 38 years I have been in Alaska. Please continue to minister and help others.
Enjoy!
CHRIST IS OUR SPIRITUAL CENTER
He is the central figure of Truth: John 14:6 “Jesus said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” This central figure is the only way to the Father and Salvation!
He is the central message of the Scriptures: I Corinthians 15:3 “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures.” The Scripture is Truth without error!
He is the center of miraculous power, shown by His resurrection: Ephesians 1:19,20 “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. Which he wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.” No Resurrection, no Salvation!
He is the central business of the church: I Corinthians 2:2 “For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” I Corinthians 1:23,24 “But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” Please read I Corinthians 1:22-31.
He is the central and the sum of all things: Ephesians 1:10 “That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him.” He is now and forever the sum of all things spiritual!
Let us make Christ the true center of our lives!
