Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Think about Jesus

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is to think about Jesus.

Our thoughts often focus on what and who we love the most. When we fall in love with someone, it is common for us to be thinking about that person when we are not with them, and to give our devoted attention to them when we are with them.

Thinking about Jesus keeps our priorities focused on God’s Kingdom and His righteousness. Our affections and love for Him will grow as we know Him more deeply. Thinking about Jesus will also shove out impure thoughts and motives that corrupt the mind and heart.

Hebrews 3:1 urges us to fix our thoughts on Jesus. Hebrews 12:2 encourages us to fix our eyes on Jesus. The more we reflect on His glory, His teachings, and His love, the more we will be transformed into His likeness and reflect His character to a watching world.

Thinking about Jesus is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
