One of the definitions of focus is: a central point, as of attraction, attention or activity. This is my spin on it.
There was a time I couldn’t see the point in the mega-huge big screen televisions. I appreciate new technology, but isn’t the point of television to watch it? Why focus on the size? But once I saw a display in an electronic store, I got it. Then there was the HD trend. Huh?! Wasn’t the big screen enough? Then I saw the clarity and precision.
There was a point. I couldn’t focus until it was magnified for me. When I compared the two options side by side, I understood.
Who knew that television was a lot like life?! What’s the focus, the point of life? Is this life really worth it? What about the struggles? The sacrifices? The secrets? The scandals? The shame? The serenity?
Is there a focus in living for Christ? There is one. Through His Word, we zoom in more and more. Through Bible study and through prayer we’re able to focus. In a nutshell, we are saved so that we can have eternal life. It’s a free gift offered to all, but accepted only by some. There is more to come, after life on this earth is over.
We’re to share this good news with everyone we can.
Because He loves us all. He loves me. Christ doesn’t want anyone to miss out.
That’s the point.
