What Does Jesus Care About?
John Ogden Sr
May 28, 2025
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16, NKJV).
Over the past few days, I have been considering what Jesus really cares about. As I reflect on my own life, I realize that I can sometimes be somewhat self-centered and focused on my own needs. As I consider what Jesus cares about, I realize He cares about the lost. The very essence of His life here on earth was to pay the redemptive price through His shed blood so that we may all come into the saving knowledge of His grace. I know He came to bind up the brokenhearted and to set free the captive. I know He came to give us life and give it more abundantly. I know He has called all of us to be part of His plan of changing the world, one heart at a time.
As I pondered the things that God cares about and then examined the things that I care about, I found that my priorities are not always focused on Him. When was the last time we fell on our knees and, in earnest, said, “Jesus, what do You care about? Make my heart to care for the things that You care about. Make Your priorities the priorities of my life. I truly seek to do only Your will.”
If you, like I have this week, sense that it is time to refocus and allow Jesus to be at the center of everything we do, I invite you to join me in praying and seeking His face. Jesus has called all of us to reach the lost, and He has commissioned CMA to reach the bikers of this world. May we commit ourselves to and focus on His calling.
