Hebrews 12:2 - Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Then I came across this cool story about a statue of Jesus that really puts into perspective how we can "fix our eyes on Jesus". This statue is in a church in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is no ordinary statue of Jesus, this particular statue has a very strong message that the sculptor sculpted into it. "A little old woman who helped to care for the interior of the church, once put into words what the sculptor's genius has expressed in marble. Said she: 'To see the real beauty of 'The Christus' you must look into His eyes, and you can do that only if you kneel at His feet.'"
You can’t see the eyes of Jesus if you’re standing looking at it. The only way you can see his eyes is to kneel at his feet and look directly up into them. To often we're guilty of trying to see the eyes of Jesus without kneeling and completely surrendering to Jesus, but the only way to clearly see is to kneel at his feet.
What are you looking at?
Kneeling at his feet,
Luis
