GOD LOOKS FOR PURE HEARTS, NO. 3
John 14:8, 9: "Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him . . . he that hath seen me hath seen the Father."
Men, seeing God should always be the earnest desire of our hearts, and all of God's people. Those who are truly converted to Christ are indwelt by the Holy Spirit who seeks to focus our attention on Jesus Christ.
How often have we sung . . .
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace."
God, the Father has privileged us to see Him and what He is like by sending His beloved Son into this world. By looking at Jesus the Son we see God the Father.
The world right now is in desperate need for a church made up of true born again families who have their eyes firmly fixed on Jesus Christ. If our eyes are not upon Jesus, the question is, what are we looking at? We always reflect what we look at.
Children desperately need fathers and mothers who steadfastly look at Jesus. How can we mirror Christ if we do not steadfastly look at Him?
2 Corinthians 3:18 says: "But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord."
Be encouraged.
