There are times in life when it feels as though all we can do is “put our heads down” and move forward. It is important, however, that we occasionally stop and look around in order to regain a wider perspective. As we do, Jesus makes sure we're standing in the right spots in order to see life the way he wants us to see it. This week we stop and look around at the crossroads, that is, those moments in life where we need to know why we follow Jesus. Whether a person is considering following Jesus for the first time or considering whether to continue to follow him, we need to know what we are looking at when we look at Jesus. Thankfully, both his forerunner and the Scriptures are clear: He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
