We all have a “lens”—assumptions, responses, and judgments—that influences how we see the world and other people. We have given Jesus our hearts, now we need to give him our eyes. Through exploring Luke 4:14–21, we discover that Jesus’ mission guided his vision. He focused on hurting people, looking through his lens of compassion. By taking up Christ’s mission, we will be looking at people from Jesus’ point of view. And by seeing people through Jesus’ lens, it will compel us to act compassionately toward them.
