Looking Past Us To See Jesus

David Langerfield, a Pastor in Mississippi, remembers and writes about something very special that happened when his wife Lynda passed away in September 2010. “I told her ‘I Love You!’ and for the first time in three weeks, she opened her eyes wide and smiled - and then formed those same three words, ‘I Love You,’ on her lips. As great as that memory is, something even greater happened. As I continued talking to her about Jesus and heaven, her eyes shifted slightly to my left and to her right. Her eyes opened even wider and the smile on her face was as big as I'd ever seen it. I have no doubt she was looking into the face of Jesus.”

This is a challenging goal and hope for our lives. Our desire each day should be that people will look past us and see Jesus - that they would look past our imperfections, our feeble attempts to live as godly men and women, and that they would only see Jesus - in all His splendor and glory. Jesus said, "If anyone wants to be my disciple, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me." (Luke 9:23) It’s challenging enough to take up the cross daily and follow Jesus, but even harder to "deny ourselves." We have trouble denying what we think is ours - our "rights," our opinions, our thoughts, our attitudes, our feelings, our own way of doing things and following our own self-directed paths. However, the only way people will ever look beyond us and see Jesus is when we "deny ourselves, take up the cross daily and follow Him."

Today (and every day), may the desire of our hearts be that those we meet will look past us and see Jesus!
