Looking Unto Jesus

Looking Unto Jesus

What does it truly mean to look unto Jesus?

In this powerful episode, we are reminded that looking unto Jesus is more than a passive statement or simply acknowledging Him with our words. It is an active, intentional decision to place Christ at the centre of our lives, trust His direction, obey His Word, and keep our attention fixed on Him regardless of the circumstances around us.

Using powerful biblical examples—from Moses lifting up the serpent in the wilderness to Peter stepping out of the boat and walking on water—this message reveals what can happen when our eyes remain fixed on Christ, and what happens when our attention shifts to the storms around us.

Peter was able to walk on water while responding to the command of Jesus. But when his attention moved from Jesus to the wind and the waves, fear entered and he began to sink. The lesson is clear: when Jesus calls you, keep looking unto Him.

This episode also explores the saving grace of Jesus through John 3. Christ did not come into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Our responsibility as believers is therefore not simply to point out people’s failures, but to point people to Jesus—the One who saves, restores and transforms.
