LOOK TO JESUS ​​AND NOT TO THE PROBLEM

PETER’S EXAMPLE

1. INTRODUCTION

The correct attitude of faith, in the act of faith, is to look to Jesus and not to the problem.

We should not look at:

-the problem;

-the size of the target/challenge;

-social and/or financial capacity;

-threats.

We should look to Jesus.

Faith is not ignoring the problem. Faith is, in the midst of adversity and/or challenge, looking to the Word of God/what Jesus says.

2. WHAT TO DO IN THE FACE OF A PROBLEM/CHALLENGE

Faced with a problem? Faced with a challenge? Faced with a target? Faced with stagnation? – Look to Jesus and not to the problem.

We should not be moved by feelings, emotions, pain, etc. – 2 Corinthians 4:18 and 2 Corinthians 5:7

3. PETER’S EXAMPLE

Matthew 14:27-31

Peter was able to walk on water while looking at Jesus.

When he took his eyes off Jesus, he began to sink.

If or when you have a problem, threat, or financial crisis, the correct attitude is not to talk or think about the problems, but rather to look to Jesus/the Bible.

4. HOW CAN I LOOK TO JESUS?

Jesus is not on Earth in human/physical form.

To look to Jesus, I have to open the Bible and see the “photographs”/stories in which Jesus healed, multiplied, performed miracles, etc.

Looking to Jesus = looking at Bible verses.
