Hebrews 12:2
LET US FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS
The antidote to failure, distraction, fear and barrenness. The antidote to the latest fad or theological hype. The antidote for condemnation and unworthiness. The antidote for heresy. Fix your eyes on Jesus!
As I always say to my cell group folk, or others I may be leading or teaching - sooner or later I am going to let you down. I'm human. But Jesus will never let you down! Why is it we want to read anything but the Bible? Why is it we rush off to listen to this speaker or that one, go to this church or that church which 'satisfies' our desires for the moment - when we should be fixing our eyes on Jesus?
Is Jesus not attractive enough? Of course He is attractive enough. Are His words not worth reading and pondering? Of course they are. But they only become that if we spend time with Him and in His word. There is no substitute for the hard graft! How do you become a 'walking concordance'? By study and reading His word, meditating upon it, reciting it, memorising it, quoting it, looking it up, underlining it, writing it out and living it out every day. Then you get to know it and love it.
Yes, to know Jesus is to love Him. When the going gets tough, you fix your eyes on Jesus. Don't go to other men - go to Jesus. Tell Him how you feel. Let Him have your fears, doubts, concerns and frustration. We need to 'grow up' in Jesus. However 'great' Christian counsellors may be, they are no substitute for Jesus Himself. That's radical isn't it! We live in a society where we have made life so complicated Jesus is no longer 'adequate'.
Let me set the record straight. Jesus is THE ANSWER for each and every situation. We may need to lift Jesus up high enough for folk to believe it - but woe to him who suggests otherwise. Jesus is all sufficient. There is no other.
We may not understand His ways or His silence but that doesn't mean He has become impotent. If you want to avoid error - FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS - ONLY.
