Fix Your Eyes on Christ
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life. You stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes; with your right hand, you save me. Psalm 138:7. Fix Your Eyes On Christ.
The Lord Jesus is the Son of Righteousness. When we look up to Him, we will not see the weakening and crippling influences around us. Too many people put their attention on challenges and problems. They keep thinking about the troubles and hardships in the world when they ought to be looking up to Christ. He is our all, our life, and our solution to every problem, so fix your eyes on Christ.
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6. The bible verse means if you are in Christ, that is, if you are born again, you have nothing to fear. You need not worry about problems, tests, trials, and adversities. That is because, in Christ, we are victorious.
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, James 1:2. To them, God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27.
What does this mean? It does not mean that we should hope for glory because Christ is in us. Instead, it means we have a guarantee, a certainty that everything in life will produce glory for us because Christ is in us. Christ in us is our assurance that divine health is ours.
Christ in us is our confidence that we will never be defeated. Christ in us is our assurance that our lives will forever be excellent and full of glory. These are the reasons why we should always be Christ-conscious.
But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. Romans 8:10.
It does not matter what happens or has happened to our body; Christ is the answer! Christ in us makes us healthy. Meditate on Christ, think about who He is to you, who you are in Him.
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4. His presence in you makes you an overcomer and more than a conqueror.
