Hebrews 12:2a (NASB20)
looking only at Jesus………………
Acts 22:16b (NASB20)
…………….calling on His name.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
These two truths go hand in hand and can not be in person without a third and most glorious truth being a truth in the life, and that truth is the denial of self…. For one can not look only at Jesus if one is still looking at self, as one can not be calling on His name if one is still calling on something of oneself…..
These truths both simple and profound, will be the bedrock of one’s relationship with Christ, for once seen as the bedrock, Jesus’s words of His burden being light and His yoke being easy become manifest, His truths become reality in life… For a looking to Jesus by calling on His person is a leaving behind self and all its workings…. For once self is left behind by the simple yet profound looking to Jesus as a way of life, His yoke becomes the most glorious and easy yoke, the only time it gets burdensome is when one is not looking only at Jesus but at some other thing that one would have in place of Him….
For He is real and alive and waits for all to look only to Him and call upon His name that He might bring to manifestation the new life that is one’s birthright by being born anew in Him….
For the eyes that are on Jesus will be blessed, the ones that aren’t won’t…..
So simple yet a profound truth, may we all be blessed in the simple and profound as the living way of life……
