Come and See
In His Eyes
What are you looking for this Christmas?
A new outlook on life.
A new car.
A new career.
You fill in the blank.
Where you look will save - or - smother - your life.
Because where we focus our eyes is a matter of how we focus our heart.
Where the eye is fixed, so the heart is.
If we only look to what our hands can do, looking to what all you're striving to accomplish it will leave you empty.
The next day John was there again with two of His disciples. When he saw Jesus passing by, he said. "Look the Lamb of God!"
When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus. Turning around, Jesus saw them following and asked, "What do you want?"
What do we really want?
What do we really want with this Jesus?
They continued to ask Jesus where are you staying, Jesus replies, "Come and see."
Each one of us has the open invitation to come and see Jesus.
But what do we really want?
Is Christ really what we want most?
Opening your eyes to Him, is opening yourself to the fullest.
No one looks into the eyes of our Lord and stays the same.
No one looks into the eyes of the Lord and stays the same.
Do you want the things that will fade or the things that are forever?
Who wants what merely glitters and shimmers for today, then blows away.
Who but Jesus would pay such a high price to love us.
There is only one way for peace and joy this Christmas - Come gaze into the eyes of the infinite love of God.
