Give Me Jesus
In looking at Philippians 3:1-11 today in chapel, Chaplain Messner talked about the two streams of piety that are common in Christian circles, including at Covenant. One stream seeks the things that can be gotten through a relationship with Christ, or sees Christ as a means to other ends. The other sees Christ as the ultimate end and is delighted in Him.
He reminded us of the old spiritual, “Give Me Jesus,” reminding us how easy it is for us to turn it into “Jesus, give me.”
A few questions for reflection:
1. How can Jesus become a means to an end in your life? What things do you find yourself most concerned about achieving or receiving?
2. How can we speak the gospel to each other in ways that remind each other of the glory, grace, and goodness of Jesus?
In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus
And when I am alone, give me Jesus
And when I am afraid, give me Jesus
You can have all this world, but give me Jesus
