The Highest Place
December 27, 2018
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
Colossians 1:17
My husband invited a friend to church. After the service his friend said, I liked the songs and the atmosphere, but I dont get it. Why do you give Jesus such a high place of honor? My husband then explained to him that Christianity is a relationship with Christ. Without Him, Christianity would be meaningless. Its because of what Jesus has done in our lives that we meet together and praise Him.
Who is Jesus and what has He done? The apostle Paul answered this question in Colossians 1. No one has seen God, but Jesus came to reflect and reveal Him (v. 15). Jesus, as the Son of God, came to die for us and free us from sin. Sin has separated us from Gods holiness, so peace could only be made through someone perfect. That was Jesus (vv. 14, 20). In other words, Jesus has given us what no one else couldaccess to God and eternal life (John 17:3).
Why does He deserve such a place of honor? He conquered death. He won our hearts by His love and sacrifice. He gives us new strength every day. He is everything to us!
We give Him the glory because He deserves it. We lift Him up because that is His rightful place. Lets give Him the highest place in our hearts.
Jesus, You are my Savior and my Lord, and I want to give You the highest place of honor in my life.
Read God at the Center at discoveryseries.org/hp152.
Jesus is the center of our worship.
The New Testament concept of image (Colossians 1:15) involves three things: exact likeness (2 Corinthians 4:4 nlt), exact representation (Hebrews 1:3), and complete revelation (John 1:18). Man is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), but Jesus is the image of God (2 Corinthians 4:4). The writer of Hebrews says the Son is the radiance of Gods glory and the exact representation of his being (1:3) or expresses the very character of God (nlt). Jesus in His very essence and nature is God (Colossians 2:9; Philippians 2:56). The apostle John (John 1:18) says Jesus has made [God] known (niv) or has explained Him to us (nasb).

Yes, it warmed up a little but was cloudy. Tomorrow is supposed to get close to 70, with thunderstorms rumbling through. I got the Food Lion AND Wal Mart shopping done today so I wouldn’t have to drag wet groceries into the house tomorrow.
I saw “stuff” on the radar up your way this afternoon and figured y’all were in for more “fun”. :-(
I’m watching a poor eagle in a blizzard In IA at the moment. It’s leaning into the wind and hanging onto the branch it’s trying to sleep on.

Great pic of some of our troops with the President! You can see by the looks on their faces they were thoroughly enjoying the moment.

I saw this when it aired on the evening news and cried when he met Donna in person for the first time and they hugged. “You’re real!”
Cried again at the same point just now.
Hartman does some touching stories in his travels and this one of the top ones. Little did Donna know when she wrote that letter how much it would mean to the soldier who received it .... even after all these years.
