Fixing your eyes on Jesus

I was speaking the other day from the passage in Hebrews 12 which talks about fixing your eyes on Jesus. It reminded me how easy it is to get distracted. Sometimes you get distracted when you are driving and if you are not careful the results can be life threatening. Often we get distracted in our day to day day lives. We get distracted by the TV, the computer, the radio, a telephone call, and in other ways like relationships, work, study. We are all different so different things are likely to distract us but the danger is that in our Christian lives we get our eyes of Jesus. The result is that it is not long before our Christian walk is soon affected.

Peter was a classic example. He incredibly made that step of faith onto the water only to find himself being distracted by the waves and loosing focus on his Saviour.

I want to remind myself this week to keep a right focus and keep my eyes fixed on Jesus.
