We are in the 1st week of a 7-week Lenten sermon series titled *“EYES ON JESUS” that will take us through Easter Sunday. The topic for our sermons will correspond with the devotion for the Wednesday that follows the Sunday in the Daily Devotional Booklet of the same name titled, “Eyes on Jesus”.
The title for these devotions is based on Hebrews 12:2, which says, “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” This series asks the question, “when the people in the Passion narrative looked at Jesus, what did THEY see?” And when we’ve seen what THEY saw, our question will be, what do WE see?”
