What do you actually see,Jesus?

The World Through Jesus' Eyes

Is this glass half empty or half full?

Some say its half empty, Some say its half full!

Well, everyone has their own opinion, rightt?

Ever wondered, What JESUS thought?

Matthew 9:35-38 ³⁵ Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. ³⁶ When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. ³⁷ Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. ³⁸ Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

Jesus was born in the most humble of circumstances, simple and small even though he was God's Son to show us the greatness of his love for us. It was sincere and deep without needing to show-off.

-He went to all, (the Bible does not lie!) of the towns and villages so ALL would hear about God's love.

--He had a purpose to share the good news and heal the sick. He wasn't on vacation! no Aloha 'Oi!

---And Jesus came with compassion, which means Jesus felt a tender feeling..a softness for us. A warmth and a concern.

Why?

Because when Jesus looked, He saw us attacked/teased/disturbed/bullied and weak/abandoned /defenseless. 

He saw those people, but he also saw us. Doesn't it sound familiar?  Haven't we all felt like that, or feeling it even now..

He saw, and then thought. . there's so many lost souls out there, so many wounded and hurt. But there are so little people to help them, to pick them up and tell them about Jesus who can save them. That's why his disciples went out and spread the word, missionaries, pastors and people go out to tell people about God.

And He calls you to do the same too.

Mark 16:15-18  ¹⁵ He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. ¹⁶Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. ¹⁷ And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; ¹⁸ they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

Now you've seen what Jesus sees, its time to DO what Jesus has asked you to!

Let's go! :)
