Jesus is in the Center, Already!

"Jesus, Be the Center of Our Church!"

"Jesus, Be the Center of Our Life."

These protests are delayed and uninformed.

Jesus is the Center:

"And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle." (Revelation 1: 13)

and also

"Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks." (Revelation 2: 1)

Moreover

"And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." (Revelation 5: 6)

Jesus is in the Center, in the midst. He gets first place in all things:

"And he is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Colossians 1: 17)

"Before" means first in prominence and precedence.

For the Believer, it is not a matter of making Jesus the center of our lives, but rather that we allow the word of God to renew our minds to the Truth (Romans 12: 2), that Jesus is indeed at the Center of all things, including our very lives.
