Where was Jesus on the day He died? He was in the center between two thieves. He was in the center of humanity, in the center of history, and especially in the center of the story of redemption.

Where is He in your life? Are you Christ-centered?

Paul Tripp wrote, “A Christ-centered life begins with realizing that the source of everything we are is the Lord. He created us, he owns us, he gifted us.”¹ Our Lord doesn’t simply want to be included in our lives; He want to be the axis, the nucleus, the hub around which our entire life revolves. When we keep Him at the center, He takes everything we have and makes it meaningful. But when we push Him to the side, we are unable to enjoy His gifts.

The Living Bible says in 1 Corinthians 1:24, “God has opened the eyes of those called to salvation, both Jews and Gentiles, to see that Christ is the mighty power of God to save them; Christ himself is the center of God’s wise plan for their salvation.” Is He at the dead center of your heart?

You were designed for the purpose of knowing Christ and making Him the center of your life.
