Picture a wheel on a bicycle. All the spokes connect to the hub in the very center, right? If the center hub is strong, the whole wheel works great. But if something’s wrong with the center, the whole wheel wobbles and doesn’t work.

When Jesus died on the cross, He was crucified in the center between two other people. That’s not just about where He was physically, but it’s also a picture of where Jesus belongs in everything. Jesus is in the center of all history. He’s in the center of God’s plan to save the world. And He wants to be in the center of your life too!

Having Jesus in the center of your life means He isn’t just something you add to your life—He’s in the CENTER of it! Think about it like this: Jesus isn’t just another spoke on the wheel of your life—He’s the hub that holds everything together!

When Jesus is in the center of your life, everything else makes sense and works the way it should. Your friendships are better because Jesus is teaching you how to love. Your schoolwork matters more because you’re doing it for Him. Even hard times aren’t as scary because Jesus is right there in the middle of it all with you!

And guess what happens when we don’t have Jesus in the center? When we make other things more important than Him, life starts to feel wobbly. It’s like trying to ride a bike with a broken center hub. Nothing works quite right!

Take Action: Draw a big circle on a piece of paper. That’s the wheel of your life! Now draw a smaller circle in the center of it and write JESUS in it. From that center circle, draw lines (spokes) out to the big outer circle. Label each spoke with different parts of your life: family, friends, school, sports, hobbies, etc. This shows that when Jesus is at the center of your life, He connects to everything you do!
