John the Baptist and Jesus…
Yochanan the Immerser, or as most know him, John the Baptist, was called the greatest of those born of women by Jesus. He was a priest, a prophet, God’s messenger to his generation – and yet, without the Jesus, it made no sense. Yochanan’s life and ministry only found its fulfillment when Jesus came.
Now, if John, with all his holiness, spirituality, gifts, calling, and power in ministry, was still not complete without Jesus, how much more your life? No matter what you’ve acquired in your life, you’ll still be empty without Jesus in its center.
Maybe you’ve been trying to fill your life with possessions, a relationship, recognition, achievement, some cause, or pursuit. Maybe you think that you can fill your life with the pursuit of ministry and spirituality.
Well, these things are good, but they can’t fill your life. No matter what else you have, it’s an unchangeable fact – it’ll be empty if the Lord’s not in the center. So why waste any more time?
Come back to your first love. Make God the Lord of your heart, and your life will really be something great.
Our walk with God must be rooted in faith—and therefore rooted in Him, not us—just as salvation is. Colossians 2:6
Today, make it your aim to make Messiah your aim – Make Him the object of everything you do.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed 🙏🏼
