From this time on, we do not
think of anyone as the world does.

2 Corinthians 5:16

 

Take a look at a newborn baby and what do you see:

      The parents see – wondrous beauty

      The grandparents – the world’s smartest child

      The rest of us – a red, wrinkled, blob that hopefully will get better looking after a few hours.  (Don’t get mad at me, you know it’s true).

 

It is with this same eye that we view the world.  We see rich, poor, fat, thin, beautiful, ugly.  Once you put on Christ, it’s time for an eye transplant.  We must begin to see people as God sees them:

                  Entering through the small gate or the wide gate (Matthew 7:13–14) …

                  Heaven called or hell bound (Mark 16:15–16) .…

 

            It’s time to quit looking at people like the world looks at them and see through God’s eyes.
