See and Think About Jesus!

Listen to this blog.

We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side of God's throne!

So keep your mind on Jesus, who put up with many insults from sinners. Then you won't get discouraged and give up.

Hebrews 12:2-3

The things you look at and think about will control your life. That is certainly true when it comes to lustful and evil things, but it is also true when you look at and think about Jesus. When Jesus is the first thing on your mind every morning and the last thing you think about before you go to bed at night you won't get discouraged and give up!

As the hopelessness of this world becomes clearer all Christians are tempted to give up and give in to discouragement. You may be living in the worst of all situations right now and see no way for things to get better. Well, the way out of your despair is to look at and think about Jesus. You can literally see Jesus in everything around you. Jesus created everything your eyes can focus on right now. If you see a bird it was His design. If you feel the rain it came from Jesus.

Finally, you can think about Jesus even if the night is so dark that seeing Him is a struggle. You can think about the Cross, think about His Resurrection, think about His birth, think about His miracles and think about His love for you!

Seeing and thinking about Jesus will keep you going when everything else fails. And when life itself seems to be drawing to a close for whatever reason it is time to look up because you are about to see Jesus face to face! Come quickly, Lord Jesus!
