Hello Everyone,

Just one look can bring Sanctification Matthew 17:8.

Matthew 17:8

When they LOOKED up, they saw no one except Jesus.

Peter, James, and John, the ‘inner circle’ among Jesus’ disciples were taken aside to a high mountain where they saw the transfiguration of Christ…in other words, they saw Him in His glory, shining as the sun.

- They were never the same after this.

- They took their eyes off everything and everybody except Jesus.

- Moses and Elijah also appeared that day.

- Didn't say they saw Moses. (law)

- Didn't say they saw Elijah - (prophets)

- Doesn't say they saw each other. (distraction)

- Good advice- “Keep your eyes off of people and on the Lord!”

- Who are we following, anyway?

- They saw their goal. (be conformed to His image)

- They saw their challenge.

- They saw the Truth.

- They saw the light.

When Peter walked on the water he began to sink when he ‘saw’ the winds and waves around him, but when he LOOKED to Jesus he was alright!

What’s the first thing you look to each morning? Mouthwash? [wish your spouse did?] Coffee pot? Newspaper? …Restroom? Ok, after that?!

Psalm 5:3

In the morning, O LORD, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

Daily sanctification is just a look away!

Then enter your day, and look at it differently…

Philip. 2:4

Each of you should LOOK not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

Matthew 9:36

When he SAW the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

John 4:35

I tell you, open your eyes and LOOK at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

You’ll never see people the same way again when you look at them thru sanctified eyes, as eternal souls that will live or die somewhere forever!

Oh How HE Loves Us!
