This is one of those articles that if you don’t read it to the end, because you’re offended by the beginning, you could be deemed, “willingly ignorant.”
There are many little sayings that have Bible principles hidden within them, while others are as far from the Holy Scriptures as you can get. One such aphorism that falls into the latter category, that make the speaker come off as “spiritual” is, “It’s not all about you.”
Generally, when you hear the above statement, the reference has to do with the poor, suffering, misfortunate, etc. Whenever it is all about us, all agree, we’re dealing with a narcissist. On the other hand, few realize, when one makes it all about others, you’re listening to a humanist.
Neither is it all about us or about others! IT IS ALL ABOUT CHRIST, GOD’S BELOVED SON. His interest is to be our one and only interest. Everything and everyone else will fall into its rightful place when this is initiated. To put others first is to put Christ second.
In the story of Mary anointing Jesus feet both Judas and the disciples wanted to put the poor first. Mary put Him above all others! And what did Jesus think of her act of devotion? He said her act will never be forgotten.
IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM!
