Week 3 - 2 Corinthians 5:15 & 17


2 Corinthians 5: 15 & 17

And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!


Christ the Center

Just as the driving force in a wheel comes from the hub, so the motivation for living a Christian life and the power for a believer comes form Jesus Christ the Center.  Jesus is the hub! (2 Corinthians 5:15,17 and Galatians 2:20)

The spokes of the wheel demonstrate the means by which Christ's power becomes operative in our lives.  We maintain our personal relationship with God, through the vertical spokes -- the Word and prayer.  The horizontal spokes concern our relationship with people -both believers (through fellowship) and unbelievers (through witnessing).  

Our next few verses will focus on Christ!

Week 4 - Galatians 2:20
