“If you look at the world, you’ll be distressed. If you look within, you’ll be depressed. If you look at God you’ll be at rest.” 

~Corrie Ten Boom~

It is easy to look in all the wrong places and when we do, we often discover that we are not at rest and certainly not at our best. In fact, we can become overwhelmed which leads us to become confused or to give up.


In Hebrews 12:1-2 we are commanded to look to Jesus. The reason is that He is the author and perfecter of our faith.


We must remember that in the previous chapter of Hebrews, we are given a list of the heroes of the faith. Each of them was looking to God and toward the world of the future. This is not escapism. It is realism. A person’s view of Eschatology impacts their Ethical behavior.


As Christians, we are exhorted to live a life of faith. We are reminded that we walk by faith, not by sight. It is important to remember that all we see is not all there is to be seen. There is a new world coming. It is not a fairytale or a fable. It is a fact declared by the Lord God in the word of God.


Let us live with holy conduct and with a heavenly outlook.

 

Serving Him with you

Until He comes for us.
