IT'S
ALL ABOUT JESUS
''And I beheld,
and I heard the voice of many angels round
ahcH1/ //1(' throne and the beasts and the elders:
and the number of them was ten thousand times
ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour.
and glory, and blessing.
And every creature which is in heaven, and on
the earth, and under the earth, and
such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing,
and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth
upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the four

The whole Bible
is about Jesus, and He is called, "The Word of
God" (Revelation
19:13). And we are instructed to make God's
Word the center
of our very lives:
"Therefore,
shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them
for a sign upon your hand,
that they may be as frontlets between your eyes. And ye shall teach them your
children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou
walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou
shall write them upon the
door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates."
In Deuteronomy
11:18-20 Jesus was called Emmanuel,
the manifestation of God with us. The multitudes said of Him, “Never spake man like this man!"
He is the Tabernacle in the wilderness - He is seen
in every utensil and every object - and
where was that Tabernacle? It was in
the center of the camp, with the tribes of Israel encamped round about. Likewise,
our lives, our thoughts, our desires should all revolve around our Lord
Jesus Christ.
We keep ourselves busy with
all kinds of things that don't matter at all, and we will argue about the most insignificant of things - but in the end, all of it will vanish
away, and the only thing that will be left of any
value will be our Lord Jesus Christ.
He said, "I
AM Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end:" He was before all, and He
will still be there in the end, and He is everything in between. And in Him all things consist.
It's all about Him.
There is an old
saying that used to appear on small, framed pictures at the five and dime,
which goes, "Only one life, soon will be past, only what's done for Christ will last."
Let us stop filling our lives with things that don't matter and look at the big picture.
"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his
commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God
shall bring every work into judgment, with every
secret thing, whether it be good, or whether
it be evil." Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
Amen. Lord help us so to do.
