A BLAST FROM THE WORD

“Jesus Sees You”
Matthew 5:1-2
1 And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him. 2 Then He opened His mouth and taught them,
Oh, the compassion of Jesus!! The eyes that looked upon the crowd that day were the eyes of love and compassion. I would have loved to have been right there on the front row. No matter where you are, Jesus sees you. He has seen the multitudes of people from the beginning of time. From this crowd at the “Sermon on the Mount” to the---woman at the well, to the---12 disciples, to the---leapers, to the---feeding of the 5 thousand, to the---blind man at Bethsaida, to the---little woman with the issue of blood, to the---tax collectors and sinners, to---raising of the dead, to the children---to Nicodemus who was afraid and came to Jesus by night, even to the---soldiers who mocked Him on the cross---AAAALLLLLLLL the way to you and me---He has compassion. Whatever you are going through now or have been through in the past or are fixing to go through in the future, Jesus knows all about all of these things. He is ever present, ever knowing and He never sleeps or slumbers, which means, when you go to bed at night you can sleep in peace. Jesus has got you covered. He’s got your back. And to top it all off---He has conquered the grave!! Praise God!!!!!
Lord Of All, thank you because of who you are. I praise your name. I am so glad You see all things and know all things. Help me to have Your compassion on others. In Your word, You said I am the “salt of the earth and the light of the world.” I want to be that to the ones You died for. I can’t imagine how You felt on the cross with the sins of all humanity weighing so heavy on Your shoulders. Help me to be Your hand extended to reach them. Give me Your eyes to see others as clearly as You see them. I want to win the lost at any cost. I want to be among the ones You are raising up for the “end time harvest.” Amen.
