Jesus Christ is the gravitational pull that brings everything together and gives them significance, reality, and meaning. Without him, all things lose their value. Without him, all things are but detached pieces floating around in space. It is possible to emphasize a spiritual truth, value, virtue, or gift, yet miss Christ . . . who is the embodiment and incarnation of all spiritual truth, values, virtues, and gifts. Seek a truth, a value, a virtue, or a spiritual gift, and you have obtained something dead. Seek Christ, embrace Christ, know Christ, and you have touched him who is Life. And in him resides all Truth, Values, Virtues and Gifts in living color. Beauty has its meaning in the beauty of Christ, in whom is found all that makes us lovely and loveable. What is Christianity? It is Christ. Nothing more. Nothing less. Christianity is not an ideology. Christianity is not a philosophy. Christianity is the ―good news‖ that Beauty, Truth and Goodness are found in a person. Biblical community is founded and found on the connection to that person. Conversion is more than a change in direction; it’s a change in connection. Jesus’ use of the ancient Hebrew word shubh, or its Aramaic equivalent, to call for ―repentance‖ implies not viewing God from a distance, but entering into a relationship where God is command central of the human connection. In that regard, we feel a massive disconnection in the church today. I believe that the major disease of the church today is JDD: Jesus Deficit Disorder. The person of Jesus is increasingly politically incorrect, and is being replaced by the language of ―justice, ―the kingdom of God, ―values, and ―leadership principles. In this hour, the witness God has called us to accept centers on the predominance of the Lord Jesus Christ. http://www.threadschurch.org/sermon/indwelling http://www.threadschurch.org/mediafiles/spiritualtalk03072010.mp3 Sun, 07 Mar 2010 16:24:39 GMT Lee Rabe re:Jesus 46:22 Christians have made the gospel about so many things … things other than Christ.
