PRECIOUS JESUS!

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith…  All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. —Philippians 3:8-9,15

             What/Who is most important to you?  Paul said, “I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.”  Is knowing Jesus the top priority in my life?  Is there anything/anyone that is more of a priority than Him?  Paul lost everything he once stood for and said he considered “them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.”

             Truly, “All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things.”  Not only should we have this view but we should also be living accordingly.  Are we?  Is Jesus the Cornerstone and Capstone of our lives— the beginning, the end and everything in between?  Is He our life or a compartment of our lives.  Oh, Dear Father, may I be conscious of my relationship with Jesus through the day for the rest of my days.  May this be so by the power of the Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Precious Son Jesus and for Your honor and glory.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aqo-adRyM_k&list=RDAqo-adRyM_k&start_radio=1
