The Eyes of Christ

We need to see with eyes of Christ. The eyes of compassion were how Christ looked upon the common man during His earthly ministry, and that is how He wants us to look upon our fellow man.

"But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd."(Matthew 9:36)

"Then Jesus called His disciples unto Him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days, and have nothing to eat: and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way."(Matthew 15:32)

"But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible."(Matthew 19:26)

"So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him."(Matthew 20:34) Jesus gave them both physical and spiritual sight. He gives us spiritual sight when we receive Him as personal Savior. 

"Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.(Matthew 24:42) Jesus tells us to be watchful, because we don't know when Christ will return.

Looking through the eyes of Christ, we are able to see the opportunities to minister to both those that need a Savior and those that already know Him. We are so blinded to what some people are doing that we miss the opportunity to minister to their need.
