Jesus In The Center

And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. John 19:17-18

At the end of things, there is another separation to the left and right of our Lord Jesus. And it comes that there are those who are saved by our Lord and those who are not, much like the two crucified to His right and left. The mother of two of His disciples desired that one be raised to the right and left of Jesus, obviously not knowing what she asked, and our Lord in His mercy could not grant those places to those sons of thunder. The years of our calendar are even separated to either side of our Lord Jesus, placing our Savior in the center of time. As we walk this road with our Lord, we also find that He is in the center between the newborn spiritual life in Him and the old lusts of the flesh that cry for our attention. Yes, sometimes that yapping of the old life leaves our view slanted off to the down side, and we feel off without our Lord Jesus right in the center where He should be. Prayer, meditation on the word of God, fasting, and faith all help us to re-center Jesus in this life.

Bringing my view back to the Lord in Christ my Savior!
