Jesus: Look-Seek-Follow

Isaiah 51:1

Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged.

JESUS is the Rock from which we are to be molded after. We are created in His image; therefore, we have the capacity to become as He is in personal perfection. He is the perfect example for us to follow and seek to become like. We can become more like Him if we (1) Look to Him, (2) Seek the Lord, and (3) Follow after righteousness.

1. Look to Him:  Always remember Him and His Spirit will be with us. Look to Him in every thought, word, deed, motive, and action. Look at all the marvelous creations, and realize that He is God, the Almighty.
2. Seek the Lord: Try to find the Lord through faith and prayer, through scripture study and fasting, through meditating and pondering. Search His commandments and live them.
3. Follow after righteousness: Obey all His commandments, for therein is peace and security. He is the exemplar of righteousness, and the more obedient we are the more righteous we become. Following Him is following righteous, for He is righteous.

Herein lies the formula for happy, successful living in this lifetime, and it will continue throughout eternity. Look-Seek-Follow our Savior Jesus Christ, and He will bless you forever.

Look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ

Philippians 3:20

For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ

Look up to heaven from whence God and Jesus reside. Look for the Savior, even the Lord Jesus Christ, and ye shall find Him. Especially, look for Jesus early in the morning when your mind is clear and refreshed from a night’s rest, and your mind isn’t cluttered with all sorts of things collected from a full day’s mental and physical activities. Putting Christ early in the morning brings one joy and faith. It gives you hope for a successful and rewarding day.

The main idea is that we LOOK for our Savior. When we are looking for Him, we are thinking about Him, and when we are thinking about Him, we are fulfilling the sacramental instructions to “always remember Him,” so that we may have His Spirit to be with us.
