Christ must have precedence over all other things. St. Augustine wrote, “Christ is not valued at all unless He be valued above all.” Christ is not Lord at all unless He is Lord of all. To some people Jesus is nothing. To others, He is something. Then there are those to whom Jesus is everything. No words can define or describe God’s gift of His Son. It is a gift that defies description, that transcends superlatives, and exceeds our imaginative powers.
