...but this man, because He continueth
ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
Wherefore He is able also to save them
to the uttermost that come unto God by Him,
seeing He ever liveth to make intercession
for them. For such an high priest became us,
who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate
from sinners, and made higher than the heavens...
(Hebrews 7:24-26).
True servants of God are ever reminded that Jesus Christ suffered and endured a shame upon the cross and that due to Him being God, the only begotten Son of God, despite its that change (Hebrews 12: 2). Authentic Christians who are true servants of God take on the same attitude as that of Jesus Christ, and attitude whereby intercession is made for others and to despise the shame of being called a Christian. Authentic Christians are not people who just believe in a religion, no, they take seriously as to what it means to be a Christian. Authentic Christians do not allow the culture and sin in this world to strangle hold their ability to manifest Jesus Christ. In fact, authentic Christians gain a divine point of view on life and take a different shade of importance as to life and evaluate earthly success in order that they may achieve and pursue success that comes from above. Life will hand to us difficulties, that is a fact of life whether you are a Christian or a non-Christian. Authentic Christians are not ruffled and are not irritate for they know that this is one a simple and cultural world that is an contradiction and opposition to Jesus Christ is and they look at the bigger picture. Authentic Christians keep your eyes on the cross and even this small or large problems of life even the luxuries and comfortably enjoy our seen through those eyes looking at the cross of Jesus Christ.
let us take a journey back in time, in the time of Jesus Christ and see His life. Jesus Christ possessed little and yet He never complained and he faced all sorts of horrible circumstances, difficulties, and all the while knowing that one day he would have to be nailed to a cross as a common criminal. This did not detour Jesus from doing that which He came to earth to do: to die upon the cross. nothing was going to deter and to determine His life. If we keep our eyes on Jesus than those moments of difficulty and of joy, those normal ups and downs of daily life, those difficulties are all filtered through our vision of Jesus Christ on the cross. Think about this: Jesus Christ suffered on the cross, for our benefit and that must outweigh everything we must deal with. Some will say that this is all part of God's plan and purposes for our life. Yes, God does not live in time and sees everything in a moment and now is that we will face difficulties and that we will also face the joys and he does not reach down and manipulate us just to please Himself. No, we have the ability to choose right from wrong, good from bad, to be happy or sad, and because God allows or as has become a theological word, ordained, does not make him the cause or but as a providential God he is able to manipulate all situations to meet his final purpose and that is to have children for Himself. Authentic Christians have confidence that while we do not understand everything that happens to us, nor do we understand everything that has been written in the Bible until God in his providence reveals it to us as we study and pray we know that God will work out all things to accomplish His purpose. It is Jesus Christ who was the one who has gone before us and sits at the right hand of God making intercession for all those who put their faith in Christ and have repented of their sins in M. and by God's grace you will find peace in the midst of all your difficulties.
Fix your gaze upon Jesus Christ for he is the one who will complete all things in this for the greater good and for a greater goal of the joy that the father has offered. Authentic Christians do not need to manipulate through some sort of euphoric experience to find joy and peace as that is a very short-term moment. Authentic Christians look beyond everything and fixed their gaze upon Jesus, for his concerns, for our progress in our relationship with Him during remember Jesus Christ is making eternal intercession for you. And if this does not give you reason to keep your eyes fixed upon Jesus Christ I am not sure what reason you can find in its place. We live by faith. It is not a simple momentary faith, no, it is faith in action, not faith in words. Anyone who has gone through dark times in their life often look back at these darkest moments and see that the light of Jesus Christ shines.
A problem that exists is that these moments are all too rare and often are actual responses to the difficulties in life, those in this fallen world often bring his emotions of grief and confusion that will rise to the surface at times. So often our response is that we feel like a failure, so much a failure as to fear even revealing Jesus Christ and his reality in our lives. If this happens lingering your pity house, do not lingering your self-pity. Get up, put your pants on, get back into action and get on getting on with God's business. Don't be entangled in immorality, watch your heart. Attempt to be an imitator of Jesus Christ in your behavior and his keep that goal and that goal was always to do the will of the father. Yours should be the same! Yes we must guard as we been instructed against the tax of the enemy. But we are not going to live as authentic Christians like those who are sitting around are shouting or screaming or preaching upon some sort of secret key that Jesus Christ is coming. Yes we are to keep watch for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and that simply means us to live like Jesus Christ and do those works that he has set before you to do to bring others the Gospel. Live like you love Jesus! Don't just!;do it! Do it with more gusto than the people of this cultural world, those cultural Christians who are pursuing fame and fortune in our common prosperity in and some sort of euphoric excitement rather than simply living that quiet and humble life that we have been instructed to live. Go your through your day living the life of Christ. the main difference between an authentic faith in cultural Christianity is simply a result of faulty thinking about the court proofs of the Gospel. If a person understood at all, the stress that are viewed by cultural Christians as important are in actuality unimportant of Authentic Christian faith. authentic Christians have is the center of their life with proofs of the Bible that is the center toward which all life is in motion. The words of God are the son of the solar system, and they are the origin of all that is excellent and lovely and the source of light and life.
Here in the words of William Cowper:

Here in the words of William Cowper:
You are the source and center of all minds,
Their only point of rest, ETERNAL WORD!
From you departing, they are lost, and rove
At random without honor, hope, or peace.
From you comes all that soothes the life of a man,
His high endeavor, and his glad success,
his That strength to suffer, and his will to serve.
But O Great Giver of all good,
You are of all your gifts, yourself the crown!
give it that what you can, without you we are poor;
And with you rich, take what you will away.
(Revised from William Cowper, The Task, bk. 5, lines 898-909).
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries,
whither I have driven them in mine anger,
and in My fury, and in great wrath; and I will
bring them again unto this place, and I will
cause them to dwell safely: And they shall be
My people, and I will be their God.
Jeremiah 32:37-38
Put your gaze upon Jesus
Richard L. Crumb
