What is The Purpose of Christ in Your Life?

By Rev. Dean Beaty 9/20/09

Colossians 1:18 “And he is the head of the body, the church:

who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things

he might have the preeminence.” (KJV

What is the purpose of Christ in your life?

Is it to bring peace between you and your wife,

Or maybe to help with financial concerns?

Or to rise in ones work; for this your heart yearns?

There must be a greater purpose than these.

Our walk with the Savior and His will to please.

That we bring great glory and honor to Him.

That He has preeminence while our will grows dim.

Now that I’m Christ’s my goals aren’t the same.

Now my great purpose is to honor His name.

He’s to be foremost as my Lord and my King.

All that I am to my Savior I bring.

One’s walk with Jesus is different from most.

We are His servants and not the head host.

You can’t be His servant and follow the crowd.

But, “Well done my son,” you’ll hear clear and loud.
