SET YOUR EYES ON JESUS

We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith…

Hebrews 12:2 NLT

Babies easily respond to their parents' emotions. For instance how a parent reacts when the baby falls down determines to some extent if the baby will cry or not. This should be the same for us and Jesus. During challenges we should ask ourselves what is Jesus doing about it? Resting at the Father's right hand power. If He is resting, our response is to rest as well.

The Lord is not worried when we go through trials, instead He told us to be cheerful because He has overcome it. Then our response should be relaxed and cheerful. The Father already knew about the fall in the world today and does not want to continuously accuse and punish us for He is Holy, so He placed us in Christ. Ephesians 1:4 NLT says, “Even before he made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in his eyes.”

That is why we should be cheerful in all circumstances for we are set apart from all evil. Sickness, poverty etc cannot harm us. Psalms 24:3-4 NLT says, “ Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? Only those whose hands and hearts are pure,..” The enemy has been judged, hence has no place in God's holy place, Christ. But we live in His holy place, Christ for we are born there and are blameless! Glory!

WE PRAY FOR THE GRACE TO SET OUR EYES ON CHRIST IN JESUS NAME AMEN!

THANK YOU JESUS!
