NEVER LOOSE SIGHT.

Reading Passage:- Luke 2:43.

  1. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.

On one occasion when Jesus was twelve years old, He went missing. Mary and Joseph lost sight of Him,and it took three days of searching to find Him again. They had been in Jerusalem for the Passover, and as they were returning home, He was nowhere to be found. But here is the interesting thing: they travelled an entire day before they missed Him. It isn't that they lost their love for Him or their faith. They just lost Him.

Can this happen to us? The answer is yes. It is possible to go through an hour, a day, or even a week without a passing thought of Jesus. (That is, until crisis hits.) This is the easiest thing to do at Christmas. We are so busy celebrating the birth of Christ that we can forget about Christ. Christmas is actually the time of year when we have all kinds of responsibilities. And God's only begotten Son can become God's only Son we have forgotten.

One way we lose Jesus is when nonessentials displace essentials. When we are busy, often our spiritual lives are first things to go. We don't have time to study God's word. We don't have time to pray, even for a moment. We can afford to give anything to God because we have so many things to buy during the season. We allow nonessentials to take place of essentials.

If you have found that you have lost Jesus in the busyness of life, then you need to go back to where you are before. And the good news is that even if we lose sight of Jesus, He never loses sight of us.

My God help us never to lose sight of Jesus in our life knowing that life fully depends on him,Amen.

Thank you @Prettyglo for this wake-up call. Many times we get so carried away by frivolities that we forget the essence of a thing. May we not lose focus on Christ.
