It all comes from, and leads to, one thing: THAT IN ALL THINGS, CHRIST WOULD HAVE THE PREEMINENCE.
It all started with a simple premise. Seven simple words from John 3:30 that describes the purpose and plan of God for all things past, present, and future: “He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Some see this as a simple statement coming from John the Baptist. I see it as the key that unlocks the door to the greatest spiritual revelation God has ever given to man.
Christ MUST increase. He must. Therefore He will. And He is. Meanwhile, we MUST decrease. And since we must, we will. And we are.
These simple truths must be re-visited over and over again until they permeate us through and through. And when things get rough, this is the revelation I keep returning to over and over again. People ask, “With all the things you have written, what writings do you recommend the most? Or where do you suggest someone new to your writings begins?” Without a doubt – the articles that focus on Jesus Christ in all His preeminent glory.
That’s why I’m publishing them in this book. In this one volume you’ll find the most important, Christ-centered material I have ever produced – plus some new writings never before released.
