Saving Your Life

"Then He said to them all, 'if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and is himself destroyed or lost?'"
(Luke 9:23-25)

How much does Jesus mean to you? If you are a Christian you may be insulted that I would even ask such a thing. "Of course He's number one in my life." But saying that Jesus is number one means that there are many other things that get thrown into the equation as well. Do I take care of Jesus in the morning with a quick devotion, and then go on with everything else on your list? Jesus doesn't want to be a part of your life, or even an important part of your life. He wants to be your life. He wants you to look at every area of your life through Him. There is a simple test that you can give yourself to find out where you are with Jesus. Ask yourself the question: "When I have nothing to think about, what am I thinking about?"
