Fix Your Eyes on Jesus David Rosenkoetter

Is Lent about my devotion to Christ the crucified? Is Easter about my celebrating Christ risen from the dead? Do I measure my Christian life by some standard of piety and say I'm following Christ's example? Lent . . . Easter . . . the whole Church year proclaims Jesus Christ, our Lord and savior. Faith is trust in His blood-won forgiveness of the world's sin. Through faith we fix our eyes on Jesus in our daily devotions, gathering in worship, and constancy in prayer. FIX YOUR EYES ON JESUS walks you, the reader, through daily devotions from Ash Wednesday through Pentecost. See your need for repentance. Follow Jesus as He defeats Satan in the wilderness. Rejoice in the cross He leads you to bear as His disciple. For He has died once for you on the cross and shed His blood for you. He rose to daily proclaim you forgiven, washed, made alive in His Name. The crucifix shines Christ Jesus' ongoing love for us. Yes, Jesus is risen, never to die again. Now, He who once bled and died sympathizes with us who daily walk through death's dark shadow. I pray these devotions will encourage your Lent and Easter seasons. Heb. 12:1-2 "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God"
