Beginning with John 1:1-18...
How do you establish who is most important in your life? John in 1:1-18 is establishing very clearly and succinctly the argument that over and above all - Jesus must be most important being for any Christian.
A. Why?
1. He is God
2. He was creator
B. How do you know he is important?
1. His importance was visible to all who were on earth as witnessed by John the Baptist
2. Not that all recognized or honored Jesus as important, but they should have according to John
C.How should we respond to Jesus?
-When we recognize Jesus as most important and believe Him for who He claimed to be, we are considered GODs kid!
D. How is Jesus more important than Moses or any of the previous Jewish spiritual leaders?
The Jews had the biggest issue with Jesus because he seemingly erased 4000 years of law and tradition. Jesus more importantly completed Jewish law by best balancing law and grace.
E. What about us? Is Jesus most important for u and me???? How do we do a better job of prioritizing the most important being the universe??! Talking with Him every day? Reading His Word more regularly? Making time to spend with His other kids at church?
