Jesus has come to not simply be the great interior decorator of our homes making our nice lives a little nicer. He has come to be the great contractor who is making the homes of our lives entirely new. Amen!
Fitting Jesus into our lives keeps Jesus out of our lives.
All of us live our lives upon a foundation of some kind. Do you know what your life is built upon? Have you dug down deep enough to get to the bedrock of Jesus the cornerstone? If so you will find the foundation that will get you through the storms of life. For he has endured the greatest storm of death itself and it did not wash him away.
Friends, do you want to build your life upon something that lasts? Then stop trying to fit Jesus into your life and make him the foundation of your life.

Jesus of Nazareth. There have been no shortage of opinions offered, books written, responses given to who Jesus was. Some worshipped Him as God. Others thought Him a criminal. The controversy surrounding Jesus followed Him through His life, and it has continued 2,000 years after His death. There is no masking Jesus’ enormous influence on human history.
In the midst of all this noise, who was Jesus? Why is He so important to human history? Is Jesus simply someone who agrees, confirms, and approves of everything we already thought and believed?
A few decades after the death of Jesus, a man named Luke was wrestling with those questions with his friend, a friend uncertain as to who Jesus was. So Luke set about rediscovering Jesus. He asked Jesus’ friends, he listened to Jesus’ enemies, and worked hard to give us the account of just who Jesus really was.
Luke was convinced Jesus had good news for us. Life changing news. Rest for the anxious. Healing for the broken. Freedom for the trapped. Luke rediscovered Jesus.
He wrote about Jesus, so that we could rediscover Jesus.
