Jesus Saw it Differently

Community Bible Church of Highlands

In Pastor Gary Hewins' powerful message, we're invited to reflect on the profound wisdom that can come from unexpected sources - even a child. The central theme revolves around keeping our eyes on Jesus and prioritizing love daily We're reminded of the story of Mary anointing Jesus' feet with expensive perfume in John 12:1-11, an act of pure devotion that faced criticism but was defended by Jesus himself. This narrative challenges us: Are we pouring out our most precious gifts for Christ while we still can? The message draws interesting parallels between a child's simple faith and the complex, often misguided actions of adults seen today. It encourages us to embrace a childlike perspective of love and faith and focus on Jesus, cutting through the noise and divisiveness of our times. As we contemplate our mortality and the fleeting nature of time, we're urged to act now in expressing love, seeking reconciliation, and living each day as if it were our last opportunity to honor God and those around us.
