Seeing People Through Christ’s Eyes

Sun, 27 Sep 2009 12:19:08 -0600

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.

Love Takes a Detour

Sun, 20 Sep 2009 21:09:24 -0600

We have opportunities in life to take our usual route or to follow God’s prompting to take a divine detour. But this detour will not be easy. It will require us to disadvantage ourselves so that we can advantage someone else. By exploring the parable of the Good Samaritan we see that he decided to take a divine detour on his highway of life. It was a detour that took risk, personal involvement, time and money— all things we often use as excuses not to act.
