Until you realize that what Jesus came to do, he did for you - you will never have enough energy, focus, or time to behold that truth and he will never become the thing that surpasses all else for you.
In "Jesus Front And Center," Pastor Jeremy Gorham from Crosstown Alliance Church warns us that if we don't put Jesus front and center this Christmas, we will be crushed by the weight of the wave of the responsibilities and commitments that hold our attention during this season. The paraphernalia of Christmas has blurred our vision, zapped our energy, and stolen our joy to the point in which Jesus is no longer front and center. What's the solution?
Scripture in this episode: Colossians 1:15-22, Hebrews 1:3
Quotes in this episode: "The created things in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we cling to them; it is not in them, it only came through them, and what came through them was longing. These things - the beauty, cherished memories from our childhood - are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself, they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers. For they are not the thing itself; they are only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a county we have never yet visited." - C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
