"Humanity Through The Eyes Of Jesus"

"Humanity - Through The Eyes Of Jesus"

Introduction-

Have you ever attempted to see people as

Jesus saw them? We all need to see humanity

as He saw them. We need to see our world through

the eyes of Jesus. In this message, I want to

attempt to do that with several characters men-

tioned in the Bible that Jesus encountered.

Our Lord saw men as "sheep without a shep-

erd,"(lost, confused, wandering, aimless, empty).

Not only do we need to see mankind as Jesus saw

them, but we need to feel towards them the same

way that He did. God must really love mankind,

or He never would have allowed His Only Begotten

Son to go through what He did for our salvation.

God is willing that none perish, but that all

come to repentance.

to try to look at several people through the eyes

of Jesus, but there is someone else we need to

consider. What does Jesus see when He looks at

Lord sees a true child of God, full of faith, and
