Guard Your Focus Read: 1 Corinthians 3.1-9 Bible in a Year: 1 Chronicles 10-12; John 6.45-71 Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 1.:2 That's my disciple, I once heard a woman say about someone she was helping. As followers of Christ we are all tasked with making disciples and sharing the good news of Christ with people and helping them grow spiritually. But it can be easy to focus on ourselves instead of Jesus. The apostle Paul was concerned that the Corinthian church was losing its focus on Christ. The two best-known preachers in those days were Paul and Apollos. The church was divided: I follow Paul.Well, I follow Apollos! They had begun focusing on the wrong person, following the teachers rather than the Savior. But Paul corrected them. We are God's fellow workers. It doesn't matter who God can give the growth. Christians are God', God's building 1 Cor. 3.6-9. The Corinthian believers didn't belong to Paul nor to Apollos. Jesus tells us to go and make disciples and to teach them about Him (Matt. 28:20). And the author of the book of Hebrews reminds us to focus on the Author and Finisher of our faith 12.2 Christ will be honored when we focus on Him; He is superior to any human being and He will meet our needs. Father, I confess that it is easy to shift my focus from You to less important things. Thank You for putting people in my life that help point me to You. Help me point others to You in a way that makes You more and me less. Put Jesus first.
