Focus on Jesus

Church (the institution) is a funny place.  We get caught up in activity.  We get caught up in endless discussions about what the scripture really means.  We get caught up in nasty arguments about morality.  I could say more but you what it is like...  Don't get me wrong, the church is the body of believers and we are who we are -messy and broken... but we are God's people none the less.  So why am I a part of this organization/group of people?  It's really quite simple - I needed a savior and I found Jesus.  If we were to focus on that which holds us together - our common need for a savior - then I think all the other stuff would fall away as unimportant.  Trouble is we seem to forget that we need a savior and are busy out trying to save and justify ourselves.  Let's get our act together.  Let's focus on Jesus!
