Jesus: The Center of Every Momemt

Jesus: The Center of Every Momemt…

In Ezekiel 10, the prophet witnessed a profound and symbolic vision: the glorious presence of the Lord departing from the Holy of Holies, moving out of the Temple, beyond the Eastern Gate, and ascending to the Mount of Olives before finally leaving Israel. This departure foreshadowed the devastating destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 586 B.C., a consequence of God’s absence.

Centuries later, a similar pattern unfolded. Forty years prior to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D., Jesus, in a parallel to Ezekiel’s vision, left Jerusalem and this earthly realm. He journeyed east of the city, ascended the Mount of Olives, and from there, He ascended into the presence of God.

Just as the Temple, devoid of God’s glory, faced ruin, so too, Israel remains incomplete without the manifest presence of Jesus. This truth resonates deeply within our own lives as believers. If Jesus is not enthroned at the very core of our existence – the heart of our day, our homes, our thoughts, our aspirations, and our affections – then a vital element is missing.

Let us heed the plea of Psalm 51:11: “Do not cast me away from your presence, and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.”

Heavenly Father, we acknowledge that true life and wholeness are found only in Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray for the grace to place Him at the center of every moment of our lives. May His presence illuminate our paths, guide our decisions, and fill our hearts with His glory. We desire to live in the fullness of His light and never be separated from His Spirit. Amen.

Where Christ is not the master of the house, the devil will be.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
