We are not first in our own lives anymore. Now that we have accepted Christ, He is first in our lives. By pleasing others we please Jesus, therefore we are the second in our own lives.
Jesus
Others
Yourself
Life does not revolve around me anymore, it used to but it has to be different! Because the King of the universe put Himself second and died for our sins all He asks is that we do the same and we put ourselves second. God doesnt ask us to do anything He hasnt already done, or will do. He asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, and later He sacrificed Jesus, His own son, so Isaac wouldnt have to die. Somtimes I wonder if that was when God finally decided about the cross. If He knew that He was going to send Jesus to die, but that He wasnt so sure on how, and then He realized that the cross was the way then. IDK, just a thought. But still, He asked the rich man who wanted to get into heaven to give up all He had. Not long after Jesus gave up all that HE had-HIS LIFE. Sometimes people dont realize that all you have to give is your life. I realized this while listening to a Prince song, I Would Die For You. Not only would Jesus die for us he DID. Its all he had and he gave it...willingly. BECAUSE HE LOVES US. its only true love that would die for someone. And Jesus is the definition of true love. .. Check out these two sites that show how we can become second, other people being second, and others...
