"Jesus is the center of all, the object of all, whoever does not know him, knows nothing aright, either of the world or of himself."
Blaise Pascal
We live in a fallen world in which everything is marred by its disconnection from God. Therefore all that we see, experience, and know is fractured to some extent. Yet when Jesus tells us he is the light of the world he is also teaching us that he is the means by which we see clearly, experience actually, and know rightly once more as God intended.
If you want to live life more deeply and know yourself more fully do not look within, but look and abide in Jesus. It is in Jesus that you will find life.
What does this mean for us?
It means we do not just believe in Jesus but belong to Jesus. That rather than our faith being a phase or part of our life, it is the lenses in which we see all of life.
My prayer is that all of Calvary would die to ourselves so that we would find true life in Jesus who offers it abundantly to those who belong to him.
