Looking unto Jesus for earthly fulfilment and blissful eternity.

Looking into Jesus  for earthly fulfilment and blissful eternity.

Hebrews  12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Isaiah  45:22 Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.

Never ever forget, under no circumstances should you look away from our Lord to any bring for anything.

He is the Elshadai, the all sufficient God.

Genesis  17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

You must turn to Him at all times and look up to Him for all things.

Psalms  62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

When you look unto Him, you will never be put to shame.

Isaiah  8:17 And I will wait upon the LORD, that hideth his face from the house of Jacob, and I will look for him.

Psalms  34:5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

Psalms  123:2 Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us.

Examples of those who looked up to Him for earthly fulfilment and blissful eternity.

Earthly fulfilment through Christ.

Jairus 

Mark  5:21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.  5:22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,  5:23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.  5:24 And Jesus went with him; and much people followed him, and thronged him.  5:41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.  5:42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.  5:43 And he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.

The male factor on the cross.

Blissful eternity through Christ.

Luke  23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.  23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

You too have the privilege of looking to Him for all  your cares even now.

1 Peter  5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Looking into Jesus. Look up to Him.

Hebrews  12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Let us pray.
