Fix your Attention on JesusApril 22nd, 2014, Kichijouji Bible Study
Gotthold Beck
Hebrews
12:2 fixing our attention on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of the faith, who, in view of the joy set before him, endured the cross, disregarding its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
[International Standard Version]
2 Corinthians
4:18 because we do not look for things that can be seen but for things that cannot be seen. For things that can be seen are temporary, but things that cannot be seen are eternal.
These two verses we just read are extremely important for believers. “Fix your attention on Jesus.” Otherwise, you will absolutely regret it later. “Look up high.” This exactly is the central message of the Bible. “We do not look for things that can be seen but for things that cannot be seen. For things that can be seen are temporary, but things that cannot be seen are eternal.” Brothers and sisters in early churches took this very attitude. Otherwise, they would have stumbled after all, which would have been unbearable for them. They would have been discouraged (in their faith). They understood clearly.
