Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, who for the sake of the joy that was set before him endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has taken his seat at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such hostility against himself from sinners, so that you may not grow weary or lose heart. (Hebrews 12:1-3, NRSV)
So look to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith!
We need to look at the cross and see the cross in everything. Instead of rose colored glasses we need to view the world through the lens or our savior on the cross!
You see we all need to be cross eyed! Constantly looking to our savior and seeing the world as He sees it.
