So What's The Point?

Why do you do what you do? Why do you say what you say? Most everything should have a point, right? I don't want to have a semantical or philosophical argument about this, but most things we do or say, we do and say for a reason, agreed? Cool, we can move on. If we do and say things for a reason, then what is it?

To be honest, the point is usually the same. We are nothing, if not creatures of habit. The point then is us. Yep, plain and simple. When we make a point, it is about us - our opinion, understanding, how something is affecting or could affect us, or how we feel something could be better or improved. Regardless, we make points that pertain to us and our environment or world. Why? If we will be honest, it is because we are the center of our worlds, and we are what ultimately matters most.

If you disagree with this statement, you just proved my point. We simply think that our perspective is the best, and therefore the most right one to have. This is our nature, plain and simple. So then that being said, I think there is a question that if asked more often, could change the "point". You interested? Read on...

Instead of asking "What's the point?", ask yourself this question: "What's my life pointing at?" Seriously, what does your life point to? When asked what matters most (especially if I ask someone) the answer is usually faith, God, or Jesus. To which I would respond with the ever so convicting question: "Really?" Because simply saying the name “Jesus" just isn't enough if the object or subject of your life is really yourself.

So what matters most? What's the point?

What we need is for Jesus to be less of the platform on which we stand and more about the Savior to which we point to...just sayin'

In His Grip,
