Breakfast With Christ - Focus On Jesus

BREAKFAST WITH CHRIST

TOPIC: FOCUS ON JESUS SCRIPTURE: HEBREWS 12:2

"looking 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"

In a world full of uncertainties and troubles, what we choose to focus on is very important. Our focus determines our direction on earth. In our Biblical text for today, Paul teaches us who our focus should be. The only person worth our total focus is Jesus Christ.

As Christians, we must set our eyes on Jesus alone. The only way we can endure all the troubles around us is if we keep our eyes on Christ. To focus on Jesus is to focus on His word. The Word of God is our compass for life. Every instruction we need in every sphere of our lives is written in the Bible.

To focus on Christ is to focus on our eternal prize. In Revelation 2:10, John talked about the crown that is laid up for all who will endure the tribulations of this world. That is the prize of our labour for God on this earth. To endure all that we go through here, we need to focus on the crown of life that is laid for us in Heaven.

In sports, athletes are able to overcome all challenges and compete because they are focused on the trophies and prize that they will get if they should win their competitions. If we can focus on the prize of our labour, we will be able to endure all temptations for Christ.

Brethren, we are in a serious battle on this earth, we need to keep our focus on our Savior, Jesus Christ if we want to endure till the end. If you find yourself in some difficulties, don't focus on the troubles, focus on Jesus. Focusing on our problems produces fear, but focusing on Jesus produces faith and hope.
