Get Rid of the Silver Cup

Topic(s): Jesus, People

Leonard da Vinci was famous for many paintings; however, his most significant work was the “The Last Supper” painted in a church building in Milan. This monumental fresco took four years to complete. An interesting story is told as to why it took so long to finish. When da Vinci was almost finished, a friend commented on how incredibly moving the painting was—especially the silver cup on the table. “It was brilliant, beautiful!” he said. “My eyes were immediately drawn to it.” Da Vinci got so angry that he immediately painted over the cup, blotting it out. The focus of the painting was to be Jesus, not the cup. All attention had to be drawn to Him; anything that detracted from Him had to be removed.

What is the focus of our lives? We must remove anything that comes before Christ or hinders us from serving Him. Each day we’re faced with many distractions. Literally hundreds of things vie for our attention. Is your life centered on Christ? Is He your focus?
“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain” —Philippians 1:21
