The power to see and be seen is more than just opening our eyes.
We easily diminish that power with our human tendencies towards lust or comparison or judgment.
What is it like to see how Jesus sees?
In this episode, we’ll examine our human vision versus Jesus’ all-powerful, all-knowing, loving vision. Jesus knows you through and through and loves you.
Before hitting play, pray the words of a blind beggar and open your heart to learning how to see and be seen; “Lord I want to see.”
Let's become whole together by seeing as He sees.
Highlights:
When we look at one another we have a tendency to compare each other.
When we look at one another we evaluate - we’re either raising someone or lowering someone on some kind of scale.
We consume one another with our eyes.
Jesus sees it all and yet he doesn’t compare us, doesn’t evaluate us, doesn’t consume us.
Homework:
The prescription to see like Jesus is to take and eat. In order to become a person who sees like Jesus sees (who doesn’t compare, evaluate or consume others), let’s start by praying like Bartimaeus, “Lord, we want to see. Open our eyes to see.”
Extras:
Galatians 5:15 “If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.”
