I Will Draw All Men unto Me (John 12:32)

As Christians, we have been successfully drawn unto Christ, making Christ our spiritual focal point. Those things that we emphasized in the past when we were dominated by the power of sin should no longer be the center of our interests. Accordingly, our activities throughout life should be governed by His will, accompanied by a personal dedication to come to a better knowledge of the will of the Lord. We, therefore, should develop a pattern of increasingly being dissatisfied with the wisdom of men, to which we must not turn in matters wherein the Lord has legislated. Thus, the priorities of Christ will increasingly become our personal priorities, and a new direction and set of priorities will emerge from the rubble of a prior sin-stained life. As we grow unto perfection, may we draw other men and women unto Christ, Who is now the center of our lives. Yes, the fulfillment of evangelism finds its root in a Christ-centered life. Even though none of us have lived or will live perfectly, may we better be able to forgive self as the Lord genuinely forgives us so that we may be spiritual guides to those about us.
