Focus on Jesus

474 viewpoint jesusDear reader, dear reader

You are holding a new edition of the magazine "NACHFOLGE" with the name "FOKUS JESUS" in your hands. The leadership of the WCG (Worldwide Church of God Switzerland) has decided to publish its own magazine here, in cooperation with the WCG (Germany). Jesus is our focus. I look at the picture of the young woman on the front page and let her enthusiasm infect me. She doesn't look at me with her bright eyes, but sees something that fascinates her completely. Could it be JESUS? It is precisely this question that God wants to trigger in her, because he wants to inspire everyone with his love and illuminate every life with his light. In Jesus' eyes you are precious and loved. But does he also have expectations of you? Accept his unconditional love!

The main verse in the title of the magazine "FOKUS JESUS" can be found in the Gospel of John chapter 6,29: "This is God's work, that you believe in him whom he sent." The Almighty sent Jesus to earth to save us humans, to redeem us from our sin, to justify, to heal, to admonish, to encourage and comfort. He wants to live with us in heartfelt love forever. What is your personal commitment to this grace, this undeserved gift? To believe in Jesus, to trust Him fully, for He is the Savior for you and me.

I admit: I cannot save myself with all my so-called good works, sacrifices and acts of love, because I am completely dependent on Jesus. He's the only one who can save me. I am not afraid to accept his complete help in order to let him save me. Are you like me? They want to meet Jesus "on the waters of the sea." As long as you keep your eyes on Jesus, you draw closer to him. However, as soon as you set your gaze and focus on the high waves of your life, you seem to sink into the water. Jesus comes to you, takes your hand and brings you to safety - with himself! Your faith is God's work on you.
