Today, we will be looking at Vision.
What is our vision?
When we look at our life, what we do, what we are, what we want to be, through what lens do we see ourselves?

Today, we will be looking at Vision.
What is our vision?
When we look at our life, what we do, what we are, what we want to be, through what lens do we see ourselves?
And make no mistake, we all see our lives through some lens.
Maybe through the lens of our jobs, or our perceived identity.
Maybe some of us see our lives through the expectations of our friends or social groups.
No matter what the influence, though, we all look at what happens around us through the lens of our own choosing.
[pic of moms] But today reminds us that even though we might view our life through the dark lens of the world around us, that hasn’t always been the case.
You see, today we celebrate our Moms, the ones who first gave us a vision of ourselves.
Those gifts from God who for a good portion of our lives served as the lens through which we see the world.
The ones who told us we could do it, and we believed it.
The ones who told us we were strong, or graceful; beautiful or handsome.
They reminded us that we were talented and smart.
They supported our hobbies, nurtured our interests and growth.
They interpreted all that happened to us, and all that we thought of ourselves in such a way as to remind us of the truth of every situation.
They were, and still may be for some of us, the lens through which we viewed the world.

In short, we are who we are, and think how we think is some part due to our Mothers.
And today, with a grateful heart, we say thank you to all who have been, or ever will be a mother figure to someone.
Whether you bare a child, adopt, foster, teach, mentor - if you care for anyone as a mother would, or will one day do so, Thank you.
We praise God for you.

It was their thoughts, their logic and reason, their viewing life through a lens they could understand that caused them not to recognize Jesus

*main take away* - Even when we fail, even when we refuse to see the world through His eyes, Jesus reminds us that He alone can interpret scripture.
He alone can interpret our lives!
His words, His thoughts, His life, they supercede everything else we know!

[pichere] But church, understand that even though Jesus explained everything to them - and from time to time us - They still didn’t know this was Jesus!
After all that He had said, after all that they had seen, and through all of their hopes, they still couldn't tell this was Jesus!
And church, they couldn’t tell because they were using the wrong lens!
They wanted to see Jesus a certain way.
He does certain things, has certain opinions, takes certain social issues - whatever - but that is looking through our own eyes!
If we would just look at everything, scripture, our situations, the world around us, with the eyes of Jesus, we would begin to see Jesus in everything that there is!

But they couldn’t, just as we can’t sometimes.
It turns out, you can’t be forced to see God, nor can you force others to see God.
You can elaborate on all the scripture you want, and sure, you might convince someone of some truth, but you won’t really be able to show them Jesus that way.
I say that, because Jesus didn’t either!

No, it wasn’t until they spent some time alone.
Until they broke bread together.
Church, it was only when they accepted the body of Christ, the bread of heaven, that they recognized Him.
It wasn’t until they had a relationship, it wasn’t until they were invested in HIm and He in them - it wasn’t until then that they saw the world through the eyes of their Savior, and He became alive to them.
