Thought of the Day September 25, 2024 Christ or nothing!
“Christ first of all, Christ in the center of the heart, in the center of history and of the cosmos. Humanity needs Christ intensely because, He is our ‘measure.’ There is no realm, that cannot be touched by His strength; there is no evil, that cannot find remedy in Him, there is no problem, that cannot be solved in Him. Either Christ or nothing!” St John Leonardi (1541-1609)
For Christians this is the only real choice that makes any
sense in our lives.
“Either Christ or nothing!” Without Christ, there is nothing. With Christ I can
do all things. Christ is the “Way, the Truth and the Life.” He is “all in
all.” I cannot even exist, if not for
Christ. I cannot reconcile myself to God for all my sins, except for Christ’s
sacrifice. I cannot be holy without the Spirit of Christ in me. In all things,
what holds me together is not myself, but Christ. I can deceive myself or be deceived
to think that I am the center of the universe, when in reality I am not. But
when Jesus is in fact the center of my life, then my life is in right order.
