Jesus would often teach in short stories or illustrations we call parables.  On definition of would be a short story with a heavenly meaning.  These stories were based on life experiences.  Farming, fishing, cleaning…you get the idea.  He used anything and everything to get HIS point across.  His teachings always centered around the Kingdom of God.  His actions were always about the Kingdom of God.  Everything was centered around HIS Father’s plan, HIS Father’s Kingdom, HIS Father’s will.

 

What about your life?  What is the center of your life?  Who is at the center of your life?  For a follower of Jesus, HE is the center.  HE is the the what, the who, the reason, and the purpose of life.  For HIM to be the center, your eyes, your eyes, your focus must be on HIM and HIM alone.  This is where the words, “Follow ME” are so critical, Beloved.  To follow JESUS all one’s facilities must be focused on HIM and HIM alone.  Think about it.
