A Passion for Christ's Lordship

In simple terms, the apostle Paul told us why Christ died and was raised: "He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves, but for him, who for their sake died and was raised" (2 Corinthians 5:15).
All too often, we as Christians want Christ to serve us in our little kingdoms. But our little kingdoms are too small and too suffocating to bring deep, lasting purpose to our lives. It is only as we surrender to our risen Lord to be used as his servants for his kingdom purposes that we find true meaning and joy and rest.
Cry out for grace to get a true passion for His Lordship. It's the "narrow road" to true blessing!
Happy Easter!
