The Greatest

Is there anyone or anything greater than Jesus Christ?

The Maker is greater than what the Maker makes.

The made, creation, displays vividly the glory of Christ, the Maker.

The made, the follower of Jesus, lives for the glory and fame of The Maker, Jesus Christ.  We love to sing and shout about His glory - we love to exalt Jesus!  Sundays are the best, when we gather collectively, and engage in joyful, sometimes soft, sometimes loud, lifting our hearts and hands and eyes to Him, songs of worship and praise!

His followers are not perfect at living for His glory and fame - we battle pride, to make ourselves the greatest.  We battle idolatry, making anyone or anything else greater than Jesus.  There is forgiving grace for this, when we confess the sin, and we are grateful for this forgiving grace.

When all is said and done, there is no one and nothing, greater, than Jesus Christ.  Someday, every eye will see Him and every knee will bow to Him.  Those who willingly bow, now, with the heart, coupled with repentance, will bow willingly and joyfully at His return.  The willing bow, now, results in a joy-filled eternity in the presence of His glory and kindness and goodness.  The forced bow, at His return, results in an eternity away from His glory and kindness and goodness and presence.  What does that look like?  Darkness, no light.  Separation.  Isolation.  The nashing of teeth.  Never ending, terrible, terrible suffering.  What we suffer here on earth, before becoming a follower of Christ, and after becoming a follower of Christ, is nothing, compared to what we will suffer without Him, in eternity.

Jesus loves you with a love as great as He is great.  His greatness is infinite.  His love has no limit and no boundaries.  Let Jesus be The Greatest in your life, now.
