Hebrews 3:1-6
“…fix your thoughts on Jesus.” The writer of Hebrews offers sound advice in the comparisons of faith that often come. He makes the distinction between Moses and Christ, stating that while Moses was a faithful servant in God’s house, “Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house.” The work of Moses was ultimately prologue to the work of Christ who came in human form, completing what God had been building since the beginning of Creation. “…every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything.”
One should not embark on the Lenten journey without fixing his or her thoughts on Jesus. To do so is to misunderstand the blueprint for building from God’s perspective. And so, with our thoughts firmly fixed on the cross, we allow God once more to create anew this building of faith He is working on in every human heart that embraces Jesus Christ as Lord.
Prayer: Creator God, may my eyes be fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of faith. Amen.
