Becoming Whole Seeing through the eyes of Jesus Part 2
What if the way Jesus saw people wasn't exceptional, but exemplary? What if His vision—His ability to perceive beyond surface appearances—is actually how we're designed to see?
This episode continues in the importance to see people as whole human beings rather than objects for pleasure or obstacles to happiness. Josh opens with a powerful story about a seemingly "grumpy" waitress whose true circumstances completely transformed how he perceived her.
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus consistently demonstrates this different way of seeing. When a woman touches His garment in a crowd, He doesn't just feel the touch—He stops everything to see her face-to-face. When Simon the Pharisee judges a "sinful woman," Jesus challenges him directly: "Do you see this woman?" These moments reveal Jesus not as an exception to humanity, but as our example of what true humanity looks like.
Suppose you're struggling with lust or judgment. In that case, this episode offers hope beyond "managing" these tendencies—it invites you into a transformed way of seeing that aligns with how you were actually designed to perceive the world. Join us as we learn to ask, "Lord, show me what you see."
