A life centered on Jesus shows us what is most important in this life. The world tries to find balance by chasing after wealth and possessions, status and knowledge. But they will never find it. Worse than that, in their walk to find balance, they lose their soul. Jesus explains that life centered on him means that you have a cross-centered walk. “You must deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me.” Having a cross-centered walk may lead to loss in this world, but it will give you a crown in the next.
