Looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God.
(Hebrews 12.2 NRSV)
Bill Bright was honored some time ago by CHRISTIANITY TODAY. He is the founder of Campus Crusade. He is best known for his ministry in the former Soviet Union, the showing of the Jesus of Nazareth film. He and his organization have shown the life and ministry of Jesus film to millions. A decision was made recently by the leadership of Russia that could cause his ministry great problems. Now only mainline churches have freedom to teach religion in Russia.

Mr. Bright's best known work is a little tract called, THE FOUR SPIRITUAL LAWS. In this tract he has a drawing of a throne. On the throne is self. He asks us to remove self from the throne and put Christ on the throne. Could it be that the best seat in the house really belongs to Christ? Do I find myself too often trying to sit in God's seat?

Dear God, humble me as I sit in my proper place with you on the throne of my life. Amen.
