The Spirit Keeps Christ at the Center

Scripture- John 16:13–14 (ESV)

Devotional- The Spirit of truth does not draw attention to Himself. He glorifies Jesus. He takes what belongs to Christ and makes it known to us.

This guards us from chasing spiritual experiences that drift away from Christ. Authentic spiritual life always leads us back to Jesus, to His character, His cross, His resurrection, & His kingdom. The Spirit does not compete with Christ; it reveals Him more fully.

When the Spirit is leading us, Jesus is not peripheral. He is central, honored, and rightly understood.

Reflection- How do you discern whether something spiritual is truly from the Spirit? Does it lead you toward Jesus or away from Him?

Prayer Direction- Ask the Lord to remain at the center of your faith, desires, and spiritual practices.
