Today’s Encouragement is, “Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation.” Colossians 1:15 NLT
Christ Is Supreme –
Have you seen the little plastic Jesus? It’s cute; folks are giving them away. And they often say with a sweet smile, “Everyone needs a little Jesus.” It’s a nice gesture, and very well-intentioned, I’m sure, but…
It isn’t the truth.
Jesus isn’t a good-luck token. Having a plastic Jesus on your dashboard doesn’t protect you from car accidents. Having “a little Jesus” in your pocket, or a little bit of Jesus in your life, just doesn’t cut it.
He deserves honor, and all of our life. He is Supreme, the Lord of All, King of Kings, the Savior, and the Son of God. He is our King, and we serve Him. He doesn’t serve us as a good-luck charm.
Our enemy wants us to carry a “little Jesus” and put our confidence in a cross, a St. Christopher medallion, or any other “Saint”, in anything except the Living Savior. These symbols are fine as long as they remind us to pray and of God’s Love and presence with us.
But often these things look like faithfulness and devotion, yet they can be deceptive distractions from the Living God.
Jesus isn’t a spare tire,
A fire insurance policy,
A co-pilot,
Or any other cute euphemism.
He is Supreme.
Thank You, Father God, for Your Son who saves us. Help us to surrender ourselves to Your leadership, placing You above everything else in our hearts and minds. Jesus is Supreme and deserves our full devotion.
You Are Great
