I used to joke with my family that the answer to every sunday school question was “Jesus.” It was fun to joke about but the fact of the matter is that Christianity is all about Jesus. Scripture tells us that Jesus is, “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15).” Jesus is our way to know God. Elsewhere it says that, “He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power (Heb 1:3).” Jesus literally “upholds the universe.” He is our sustainer. Jesus is the one who makes the Good News (gospel) possible.
looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
I could go on forever about this great God/Man named Jesus. It is for all these reasons that I love this new song from Matt Redman. The song is called “Jesus, Only Jesus.” One of the most important things we must do to grow as individual and to grow as a church is to remember. We must remember who Jesus is and what he has done for us. If we were able to keep truths about the person and work of Jesus forever fixed in our minds then we would grown in maturity naturally. This song is a tool for each one of us to remind ourselves and our church neighbor about Jesus. When we sing this song at South Fellowship Church may we be declaring to our own souls and to all those around us that, “we are all about Jesus!”
