Another good challenge tonight: is Jesus your one and only? This sums it up nicely....
"Imagine that the different loves of your life are competing in a race to see who wins first place. Jesus, your spouse, your children, a best friend, and a sibling are all lined up on the starting blocks. The idea isn't that Jesus comes in first place in this race. What Jesus is describing here is more accurately understood by picturing a race for first place in your life and He is the only one on the track. Jesus isn't just saying 'I want to be first place in your life.' He is saying, 'I don't want there to be a second place.' When we compare our relationships with him to anyone else there should be no competition. Fans will try and make Jesus one of many. Some fans may even make Jesus the first of many. But when Jesus defines the relationship he makes it clear; he wants to be your one and only."(p.58-59, not a fan by Kyle Idleman)
Define the relationship... One of many or one and only?
