The Face Of Jesus

The Face Of Jesus

"When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus."
Matthew 17:8

Could you imagine opening your eyes and looking up and seeing no one except the face of Jesus? There is a song, which is one of my favorites, called "What a Day That Will Be", and has the following lyrics, "What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see, and when I look upon His face, the One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand and leads me to the Promised Land, what a day, glorious day that will be." This is a day that I am longing for, as no longer will I have to suffer, worry and deal with all the pressures that this life brings. All my struggles, trials and problems on this earth will be over. One day I know I will open my eyes, and get to see the face of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and know that I will spend all my eternity in Heaven with Him. That certainly will be such a glorious day for me, and one that I long for. I will be reunited with my dad and my grandparents and get to spend my eternity in their presence. I want to encourage each of you to want this in your life as well. I want you to be able to look up and also get to see the face of Jesus, and know that you will also have a home in Heaven. There is nothing that is more important in your life today, than to know that your future home and your eternity is secure. Today, just take a moment and thank God for all that He has given you on this earth. Then ask Him to open your eyes so that you can see what He has to offer you by asking Jesus into your heart. Tell Him that you also want to open your eyes and look up and see no one except the face of Jesus.
