Prominence suggests, “one among many.” Preeminence, however, conveys the truth that there is no one else. Every wife desires that place in her husband’s love, but in a far greater and deeper way, the Lord Jesus Christ is to have the preeminence in and over everything in our lives.
Who is Jesus Christ to you?

Who is Jesus Christ to you? Is He only your savior from sin - the One Who is providing a "free ticket" to heaven so that you can escape the Lake of Fire? Is He merely the One Who is preparing a mansion for you in His Father's house? Is Jesus Christ nothing more than the One Who provides for all your needs? We enjoy His provisions, but do we love the Provider? We desire the gifts that He bestows, but do we adore the Giver of the gifts? We beseech the hand of Christ - what He will do for us, but do we seek His very face - Who He is?
So ask yourself is Christ Prominent or Preeminent in your life?
