EYES TO SEE

I believe in Christ like I believe in the sun, not just because I see it, but because by it I can see everything else. --C.S. Lewis

Psalm 119:18, Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

My son got a new smartphone recently. He should me his camera and boy can that thing zoom in on an object. He showed me spot in a pasture and then zoomed in on the spot. WOW! It was a cow! With his phone, I had eyes to see the makings of a beautiful steak!

Hey friend, God is real and if you believe His Word in faith, you too will have eyes to see Him!

LOOK TO THE LORD

Man was created with two eyes, so that with one he may see God's greatness, and with the other his own lowliness. -Samuel Y. Agnon

Simeon said in Luke 2:30, “For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,”

When you catch a glimpse of who Jesus is and what He has done, it could be the beginning of something wonderful. But many people have seen Jesus. Many people have heard Him speak through His Word. Many people have felt the tug of the Holy Spirt. But many people have ignored and rejected what they have seen. Oh that men, women, boys, and girls would see Jesus as their Lord and Saviour!

GET YOUR EYES OFF YOURSELF

In jealousy there is more self-love than love. -La Rochefoucauld

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Galatians 5:26

            In the selfie world we are living in we have no time for others. We are more concerned with our next date, trip to the mall, or vacation more than we are the lost going to hell. We live for the mountain top services forsaking the learning valley services that have gotten us through time and time again!

            Oh vain man/woman… get your eyes off yourself and get them on the Lord and others. Begin to serve at home, at church, and anywhere God opens the door! It won’t be long until a peace surrounds your life like no other time in your life!

JESUS IS OUR EVERYTHING!

Jesus Christ is light to the eye, honey to the taste, music to the ear, joy to the heart. –Spurgeon

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; 2 Corinthians 3:5

Jesus isn’t my crutch, He’s my legs! Jesus isn’t my glasses, He’s my eyes! Jesus isn’t happiness, He is my everlasting Joy! Without Him I would be a nobody, going nowhere! But Oh, Jesus is my everything!

What does Jesus mean to you?

Jesus Christ is light to the eye, honey to the taste, music to the ear, joy to the heart. –Spurgeon

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16

When Christ comes into focus by the Holy Spirit we are able to see like we have never seen before. He shows us how sweet He is. He shows us the music of Heaven. When He does, there is a joy that passes all understanding.

Think about what He means to you this morning.
