"Do You See What I See?"

Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska

Okay, I know that it's not Christmas but Lent, yet this question fits. Side-by-side, these two women do not see the same thing. Each one is looking in a different direction.

Glacier Bay Nation Park in Alaska is spectacular. You can't take in all the glaciers, terrain and wildlife that present themselves as you spend the day cruising this waterway. It shouldn't surprise any of us that these two women are gazing in opposite directions.

There is also a great deal for us to look at as we walk through Lent but only one thing on which to focus.  

"For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified." 1 Corinthians 2:2 New Living Translation

As we move from Lent to Palm Sunday, to the upper room, to the cross and the empty tomb we focus on one thing, or rather one person, Jesus Christ.

Yet gazing at Christ is like sailing Glacier Bay. What he has done for us is so vast that we will always be discovering what it means that Jesus is our Savior.

Today's Challenge: Look for crosses in ordinary things of life.  Let these crosses help you focus on Jesus.
