Three Point Focal Points

The word Focus is used

a lot and for good reason.

Things that are not clear or in focus

are hard to make out or understand.

If you have used a camera or

wear glasses, you understand the

importance of bringing things into focus.

For us to do life well, we

need to be able to focus.

Whether it is focusing on an object or

issues, we need focus to do things right.

Focus centers on one thing…

 The main thing.

Sometimes finding the one thing to focus

on is hard because life has so many facets.

There is something to be said

about the stability of three points.

Safety in the work force

and at home is great advice.

Engineers have learned that towers with three

legs are stronger than those with more or less.

Writers understand comprehension is best

achieved when you keep within three points.

The combination of three gives

us stability in many applications.

When it comes to life I believe

there are three points of focus.

These three points are

critical to everything in life.

The purpose of life stands on how

you focus on these three points.

The first point is “Creation”.

The beginning of everything.

All of us have to answer the

question of how did life begin.

Because none of us were there

and it was so long ago, focus on

“Creation” can be out of focus.

Never the less, how we focus

on “The Beginning”

is the first point of stability in life.

Although there are many views that have

focused on “Creation” there are two that stand out…

The Evolution and Creation theories.

 Narrowing down the beginning to

two theories helps dial in the focus.

The second point of focus

is the “Resurrection of Christ”.

History tells us there was a man named Jesus.

Because Jesus Christ claimed to

be God and came back from the dead…

 We must focus on this event…

 the Resurrection.

The third point of focus

is “The Teachings of Jesus”.

One of the best ways to focus on the teachings

of Jesus is to read the Sermon on the Mount.

This Sermon reveals the message of Jesus.

If you focus on the Sermon on the Mount,

 you will get clarity to what Jesus, who

claimed to be God, was trying to help us see.

These three focus points…

Creation, Resurrection, Sermon

are the three legs of stability.

There are a lot of things in life we can focus

on and a lot of clouds to blur our vision.

These three points of focus all have to be

dealt with in order to properly build a tower.

One of the greatest purposes

of towers is to communicate.

For the Christian, we need to help others

focus on the three points of focus.

Everyone who wants to be in

focus must look at the Beginning.

Did life evolve out of nothing

or was there a creator?

Throughout history there has never been

a claim more worth focusing on than

the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

History, the writers in the Bible

and the largest religion in the world,

all claim Jesus’ resurrection to be a fact.

Did this Jesus Christ really

come back from the dead?

The third point of focus is important

even if a person’s focus is on evolution

and no God or resurrection…

     

Would we all be better off if we

followed the Sermon on the Mount?

Everyone believes in something.

If your beliefs have not focused

on these three points of focus…

 Then it would be wise to take time to open

your eyes to how we get here, “The Beginning”.

Is there a “resurrection”, life after death, and

are the teachings of Jesus a good way to live life?

For me…

 The Beginning reveals there is a God.

The Resurrection reveals Jesus is that God.

The Sermon on the Mount

reveals common sense to living life.

I have met many who don’t believe in

God and even hate those who believe.

Their focus is blurred.

So often we find people who don’t believe

in God or in Jesus and many times it is

because they have not taken time to focus.

Time to focus on the facts.

So maybe helping people to focus is to

ask which of the points in the Sermon

on the Mount do you disagree with?

I think there are few who would disagree with

the message of the Sermon on the Mount.

Maybe focusing on what Jesus preached will

open eyes to see who He is and where He is from.

These three focus points have

been the stability of my life.

They have given me the ability to become

a strong tower and allowed me to communicate

across the interference that keeps people confused.

Make sure these three points

of focus are in clear focus.

 And help others by

keeping the message simple.
