Why would we even need to emphasize this? Because, sometimes we forget. We should know that all our worship, our songs, our lives, our all should be all about Jesus. Paul makes it crystal clear that it is, "Christ and Him crucified." In I Cor. 2:1-2 see the focus on the centrality and pre-eminence of Christ.
In Paul's letters we keep catching a glimpse of another world. A world that is different from what we experience with our natural senses. "Things in heaven" and "things invisible" are referred to in his letters. He talks of the great mystery throughout his letters and in Gal. 1:27 states; "This is the great mystery: Christ in you the hope of glory".The object of our worship, both private and corporate, is Christ Jesus. Every band member, every orchestra player, every worship team member, every choir member, every worship leader prepares for worship; even our preparation should point to the Savior. Let us prayerfully prepare musically, and spiritually every song, every prayer, every part of our heart focused on our Savior and His work of grace that gave us salvation for eternity. As our Pastor preached today on gratitude; there is no gratitude higher than that of focusing on Him in the work of the cross. May everything we do and the way we do it point always to Him! mjm
