Eyes Fixed On Jesus

Which direction are you looking? Your eyes are the gates to your soul. The Bible urges you to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus.

Once, Peter asked Jesus what would happen to John. Jesus said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you? You must follow Me.” [1]

To follow Jesus we must keep our eyes on Him.

Once, Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water to Jesus. A miracle happened as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus. However, when Peter saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid. He began to sink. At that moment, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” [2]

As long as Peter had his eyes fixed on Jesus, the miraculous was possible. When Peter took his eyes off of Jesus and focused on his circumstances, he began to sink.

The Bible urges us “look unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” [3]

Jesus is the way to the Father. Looking away from Jesus is the way to get lost.

“Dear Heavenly Father, please help us to fix our eyes on Jesus, both now and always. It is in His Name that I pray. Amen.”
