“It’s About Jesus”

Various Scriptures

Earlier this week, an individual was advertising a new business by holding up a sign with a directional arrow pointing towards the building. I couldn’t tell the gender of the person nor could I see any portions of the individual’s upper torso. Amazingly, the parts of the body that identifies most human beings were totally hidden from the traffic that passed by. The only thing that was visible was the business that the person was promoting.

The above is a classic illustration of the attitude of the Apostle Paul. His passion to have others to see Christ in and through him frequently came out in his writings. He said in:

Acts 17:28, “‘In him we live and move and have our being…’” His testimony to the church at Galatia was, “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20, ESV) He exhorted the Colossians, “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3)

Always remember the words of one of last year’s top songs, “It’s Not About Us, but It’s about Jesus” (Bishop Noel Jones and The City of Refuge Sanctuary Choir).


Daily Prayer:
“Oh, that You would bless me indeed,
and enlarge my territory,
that Your hand would be with me,
and that You would keep me from evil,
that I may not cause pain!”


The Prayer of Jabez, I Chronicles 4:10
