The Bible, while not frequently using the term "center" explicitly, conveys the idea through various narratives and teachings.<br><br><b>1. Center as a Physical Location:</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, Jerusalem is often depicted as the center of worship and the spiritual heart of Israel. The city is described as the place where God's presence dwells, particularly in the Temple. <a href="/psalms/48-2.htm">Psalm 48:2</a> refers to Jerusalem as "beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth, like the heights of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King." This highlights Jerusalem's central role in the religious life of the Israelites.<br><br>The Tabernacle, and later the Temple, served as the physical center of worship for the Israelites. The Ark of the Covenant, housed within the Holy of Holies, was considered the earthly throne of God, symbolizing His presence among His people. The centrality of the Temple is emphasized in <a href="/1_kings/8-29.htm">1 Kings 8:29</a>, where Solomon prays, "May Your eyes be open toward this temple night and day, this place of which You said, 'My Name shall be there.'"<br><br><b>2. Center as a Spiritual Focus:</b><br><br>The Bible often speaks of God as the center of life and worship. In <a href="/deuteronomy/6-5.htm">Deuteronomy 6:5</a>, the Shema commands, "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength." This verse underscores the centrality of God in the life of a believer, calling for total devotion and love.<br><br>Jesus Christ is presented as the central figure of the New Testament. In <a href="/colossians/1-17.htm">Colossians 1:17-18</a>, Paul writes, "He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. And He is the head of the body, the church; He is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything He might have the supremacy." This passage highlights Christ's preeminence and central role in creation and the church.<br><br><b>3. Center in Moral and Ethical Teaching:</b><br><br>The Bible often uses the heart as a metaphorical center of human will and emotion. <a href="/proverbs/4-23.htm">Proverbs 4:23</a> advises, "Guard your heart with all diligence, for from it flow springs of life." The heart is seen as the center of moral and ethical decision-making, influencing one's actions and character.<br><br>In the teachings of Jesus, the heart's condition is central to one's relationship with God. In <a href="/matthew/15-18.htm">Matthew 15:18-19</a>, Jesus explains, "But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these make a man 'unclean.' For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander." This teaching emphasizes the heart's central role in moral purity and integrity.<br><br><b>4. Center in Community and Fellowship:</b><br><br>The early church is depicted as a community centered around the teachings of the apostles, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer. <a href="/acts/2-42.htm">Acts 2:42</a> states, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer." This verse illustrates the central activities that defined the early Christian community, fostering unity and spiritual growth.<br><br>The concept of the church as the body of Christ further emphasizes the idea of a spiritual center. In <a href="/1_corinthians/12-12.htm">1 Corinthians 12:12-13</a>, Paul writes, "For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body, so also is Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body." This metaphor highlights the interconnectedness of believers, with Christ as the central unifying force.<br><br>In summary, the concept of "center" in the Bible encompasses physical locations, spiritual focus, moral teachings, and community life, all pointing to the centrality of God and Christ in the life of believers.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
