Who Is It About?

It used to really bother me when people would say in regards to Christianity, “It’s not about you,” implying that it was all about Jesus and I (people) didn’t matter. I would think why would I want connection with a God who wasn’t ‘about me’? But then Jesus revealed to me that he made it all about me on the cross. The reason it was safe for me to make my life all about him was because he made his all about me. I was covered by him. Before he asked me to make my life all about him, he made his all about me. Later I realized that when looked at a different way there was truth in the statement, “It’s not about you.” In regards to righteousness, healing, the fruits of the Spirit, etc. it is not about me. It’s all about what Jesus has done and provided for me. So in the best of ways, it is both all about me and not about me at all.
