THE ONE AND ONLY

 

TEXT: Matthew 16 vs 16

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

We search for the right college, career, house or wife. When we find the right one, we know. The excitement of a discovery can make us shout, "This is the one!" But of all the decisions we make in a lifetime, nothing is as exciting as deciding to follow Jesus Christ. That choice is different from any other decision we will ever make; Jesus is not one of many options, he is the only option if we want to have a life of abundance and freedom. If Jesus is the One, nothing else can make that claim. We can't trust our ultimate security and well-being to a company, career, government, or even a wife. Our ultimate allegiance must belong to Jesus alone.

REFLECT & PRAY:

*Review your most important relationships - with your company, your friends, your church. Has your allegiance to any of them surpassed your allegiance to Jesus Christ?

*Why must your ultimate allegiance be to Jesus?

*What steps can you take to return your ultimate allegiance to Jesus?
