BOB

Good morning! This is Bob Peden of Central, a United Methodist Community in Meridian. For those of us who have received him and have believed in his name, Jesus means everything, or at least we say that Jesus means everything to us. We confess Jesus as the Christ, the Messiah, of God promised to the Jewish people from the time of Abraham. We proclaim that Jesus Christ is Lord C our Lord, Lord of all people, all time, and all creation. With this faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord, we also proclaim that this Christ is the center of our faith. Christ is our destination. Jesus Christ is our goal.
Jesus Christ is our Savior. Jesus Christ is our example.

However, Christ is more than these descriptions. Christ is more than we can ask, imagine, or fully explain, Christ is certainly more than our words can contain. Today, we want to remind ourselves that at the heart of our faith is this one fundamental truth: Jesus Christ is our Center! In fact, Christ is THE center of everything good, right, true, moral, and eternal!
