Cross Eyed

What do you see? That is a question that can shape everything that happens in your life today.

You see perspective and outlook can shape your view on what is happening. Think about your life and where you have been and where it seems you are going. Now this week think about Jesus. (We should think about Jesus every week, but this week is Holy Week.) Think about what he had gone through with the ridicule and think about where He is going… He is the final days and hours from the cross. He knew where He had come from, the throne room of the Creator of the universe. And he knew where He was headed, to His death and not a quick death, a slow agonizing death after going through a beating that would have killed an ordinary man. Perspective is everything. Jesus gave up of Himself to bridge the gap between us and God. So what is your perspective?

Hebrews 12:1-3 ESV

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

The author of Hebrews tells us to look to Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith. We need to fix our eyes on Him. And become Cross Eyed. In your life your perspective is everything and what you focus on can greatly effect your day. Make sure the cross is center in your vision. If you can’t see Jesus, you need to adjust your gaze.
