MAIN DISH OR SIDE DISH?


Jesus desires to be the main dish of our life, not just a side dish.  Too often we partake of Him as a side dish and think we are doing well.  Sometimes we think that we are doing good because at least we are partaking of Him, unlike many others around us, even those within the body.  But those who compare themselves with others are not wise.  We must measure ourselves with the plumbline of God’s Word, with the plumbline of the commands and expectations of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Especially during this holiday season with all the hustle and bustle it is so easy to not keep the main thing the main thing and push Jesus aside until we get to the other side of this season.  Although there are seasons in God putting Jesus aside and making Him a side dish even for a season is not a good thing. 

Is Jesus your main dish or a side dish, as you go through this season? 

Revelation 2:4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

Mark 12:29-30 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
