Deep dives
Having Jesus as the Center Shapes Character and Devotion
When Jesus is at the center of our lives, he shapes our character and devotion. This is exemplified in the story of Simeon and Anna in Luke 2. Simeon is described as a righteous and devout man, while Anna is a woman devoted to worship and prayer. Their lives are centered around Jesus, and as a result, their character is molded according to his values. Similarly, when we make Jesus our center, we experience transformation in our character, love for others, and ministry perspectives. This transformation is seen in the example of a pastor who engaged in biblical meditation and experienced a deeper appreciation for his wife, a refreshing in his ministry, and increased strength against temptation.
