# 2 on the Top 10 List of scripture

Philippians 2:9-11 (nlt)
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Make the main thing the main thing. It ain't easy, but it is over the top vital. This is one of those "we have to agree here" points that we will fuss and fight about if need be. Why? Because it is all about Jesus. Plain and simple.

Jesus is the head of the church and the height of who we are and what we do. It is by Him that we get to heaven (see John 14:6) and where our strength and power come from (see Acts 4:10). Then, all we do is to be in His name and to His honor (see Ephesians 3:21).

Are you trying another way? It won't work. You cannot work your way to heaven. It is all about who you know. It is networking at the divine, heavenly level that God ordained. You cannot buy your way in, be born in the right place or even just do your own thing. Hebrews 10:11-13 says that Jesus offered us help by giving us His life. We owe Him everything. Think about it. That is huge!

Are we concerned about our friends or family who don't know how to get to heaven? Here is the truth. Lets tell them the truth. Coke is not it, as their old slogan goes. Jesus is it. He is the real thing. He is only thing. And He is best thing.

It is all about Jesus!

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
