I was driving this afternoon on Bay Street West. Of course, there were lots of tourist-visitors. One person’s t-shirt caught my eye. In bright neon letters it said: “It’s All About Me”.To be honest, it’s all together too easy for believers in Jesus to think the same; even if we don’t admit it or say it out loud.
The Lordship of Jesus the Christ means that followers of Him cannot ever say “no” to Him. Never.
If He is our Lord. Then He is our biggest Boss!
When we do say “no” to Jesus, we are “too big for our britches” and/or we have shrunk Him in our thinking.
Back in the New Testament days, John the Baptist gained a rather high profile; then the Lord Jesus appeared one day to be baptized and to start His public ministry.
On that occasion John immediately put himself in proper 2nd place to Christ the Lord.
He said: “He must increase and I must decrease.”
May we say and mean the same because it is not about us.
