Last Sunday of the Church Year

Live like you'll live forever: Live with your eyes on the skies

​​​

“Eyes on the prize!” That phrase stresses that when pursuing some good goal, your focus is important. You don’t want distractions or a lack of self-discipline to keep you from obtaining whatever that prize might be. “Eyes on the prize!” You summon the willpower to fixate on that good thing. You let nothing divert your attention from obtaining the prize.
 

The prize that we want most is spending eternity with Jesus. As the Church Year comes to a close, Jesus promises that he will come again “in clouds with great power and glory” to give us that prize. That prize will be so inconceivably good, it is worth fixating on. It's worth setting aside everything that would distract us from Christ. 
 

Be ready! Keep watch! Live with your eyes on the skies!
