Look to Jesus
The third and final principle from Hebrews 12:1-2 is, fix your eyes on Jesus. In the evenings when my kids want to head down the street to play in the cul de sac, they invariably say "Daddy let's race!" This scenario plays out the same every time. Their youthful exuberance shoots down the street at breakneck speed. Finally my pride tells me that I can't lose a race to a five and three year old so I start running them down. When I do this, they start looking back over their shoulder. When they turn their head, they veer off course, dangerously close to mailboxes, ditches, and other potential hazards. They have taken their eyes off the goal. You see their direction is determined by their vision. The spiritual principal is the same, our vision, where we fix our eyes, determines our direction. Jesus gave his apostles a simple command when He called them: "Follow me". He essentially said, fix your eyes on me, because your direction is determined by your vision. Look to Jesus.
