I have a new coffee cup, that I got at a Senior High Youth Event in Austin. It reminds me every day about the trip, but it also reminds me the purpose of my life. It also has a reference to Hebrews 12:2. I also had a shirt a while ago that referenced this verse. It is an interesting verse. The shirt said, “Cross Eyed.” The logo on my coffee cup can be seen here:
Do you see it? The catch phrase on the coffee cup is, “keep your eyes on the cross.” if you see 2 “i” s then look at the white space. Keep your eyes on the cross, or as Hebrews 12:2 says, “fix your eyes upon Jesus the author and perfector of our faith.” Jesus is the perfect model of what is means to be a Christian, and this season of Lent to be focused on the cross, will help us to see the meaning behind the season, and the person we come to worship.
Gracious God help us to focus on the meaning of this season. Guide us to follow you to places we may not want to go, to do things we may not want to do, knowing that you have gone before us and walk with us through the places we go. Help us to be cross eyed and focused on you. Amen.
