I saw this sign in an airport yesterday morning. Early … me being in a hurry to rush to security as well! But I just HAD to stop a second, grab my cellphone and make this snapshot!

Talk about a picture being worth a thousand words!

Or a picture being worth a whole Sermon, well not literally!

A rather BAD sermon, too!

In fact, I’d like to respond.

With one verse of Scripture.

“But seek ye FIRST the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33

This verse says to me that if a man or woman loves JESUS, if one makes CHRIST the “center” of his life … everything else “falls into place!”

Yes, Jesus can make you a “whole human being,” to quote the sign (in the middle of that busy airport lobby) … where everyone could see it!

When in love with Jesus … career becomes more meaningful!

Songs sweeter to sing!

People more valuable!

Poems more understandable and applicable!

Beliefs truth-centered rather than feeling-centered!

(I’m going down the list … from that silly sign.)

And the sun? Oh yes, Psalm 19 pictures the “sun” as a type of Jesus, like a strong man running a race! Or a bridegroom going for his bride!

Yes!

Give Jesus the preeminence in all things!

Colossians 1:18 says it best: “And He is the Head of the body, the church: Who is the beginning, the Firstborn from the dead; that in all things He might have the preeminence.”

Amen!
