It means to look to him in hard times. It also means to follow his path. It is really hard when people tease you or tempt you. It is the most hard when the Devil is tempting us. we can always look to our map of God's path (the bible). It tells us how to follow him and the right way through hard times.
Hebrews 12:1-2 says "Let us run with peserverence the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith". Or in other words we need to go to him and fix our eyes on him who is our ultimate goal. To go to heaven is our goal. He will guide us to him.

We have been learning about fixing our eyes on Jesus. To fix our eyes on Jesus is about staying on the right path. NEVER EVER take short cuts. I know it is a habbit, but it is not right. Make sure that you keep your eye on the goal.
It can be hard to keep our eyes on him when we are being tempted. We can always back off of the them. I encourage you to keep your eyes on the goal. It means that you shall never try to give in. you should stomp on the devil's head when things in life get tough.This is what I think about fixing your eyes on Jesus.

It means we are concantrating on Jesus instead of being distracted by other things. It also means we are taking the right path and going to heaven. We can fix our eyes on Jesus by praying, reading the bible, and going to church. If we do all those things God will help us reach heaven. Another way is to trust and have faith in him.

If we trust and have faith in him we will be crushing the devils head. It can be hard when someone who doesn't love Jesus is teasing you about worshiping Jesus. It can also be hard when people around you are doing bad things and you know God doesn't wan't you to do those things. Another time when it can get hard is when everything is going great and you think you don't need Jesus. When it does get hard we can go to Jesus in prayer and ask him to take every thing thats tepting us out of our minds.

To fix your eys on Jesus meens to not take the rong path and to notdo the rong things. It also meens to keep your path straight.We can do it were ever we want,when we want to. its sometimes hard to do this.I now its hard to do it if your mabie invited to a party.If your freinds are forcing you to do somthing that you dont want to do it.
We can always pray to God if were in tauf times like that. We can also ask God for help in your prayer.Mabie in your prayer you could ask for forgivness if you took your eys of of him.It woild also be a time to ask for help if someone jokes you about going to church or something like that.

To fix your eyes on Jesus is to NOT go off his path. By taking shortcuts in life, such a cheeting on a test is going off Jesus's path. It can be hard to follow Jesus when people are tesing us about it, but you can walk away and go pray.
If you see somone being picked on because of their religon go over and help that person. The main
reason the pilgrims came to America was because in other countrys they coudn't worship God.
To me it means alot to be a chistain, why? So that when we die our souls can go to heaven.
PSALM 56:1-2

it is also hard when you think you don`t think you nead god. Its also hard when youdont read the bible or go to church. When it gets hard read the bible. Also try to stay away from bad stuff. If your strugling I bet you will get out of that bad time. When we get ther (heaven) it will be awsome! Thats what it means in my life.

You can take short cuts by not following what God wants us to do.

We have been learning about fixing our eyes on Jesus and that means we should always be foucused on Jesus not on the Devil or anything else. We should always have all of are focuse on that goal to get to Jesus even though thDevil is temting us and making us follow him. We can do this by resisting Satines temtation. It can be hard to tell other people that they should be foucused on Jesus if they are telling you that there is know such thing.

When it gets hard you can just turn away and pray to God that he could teach thoses boys bye takling to them threw the Bible. When I think of lifting my eyes upon Jesus to sing and pray and read his holy word.

What it means to me to Fix our eyes on Jesus us that there is a path that you have to follow and that you have to avoid those other paths of temptation. It means that there is a fork in the road and you have to choose which one to follow. If you follow the right one you will go to heaven if you don't you will end out in the woods somewhere. Sometimes it is hard to do that 'cause' you may have a lot of temptation because you don't go to a Christian school.
When it gets hard you just have to ask God for help so that you can follow the right path, the path to heaven. If you follow that path you will make it to heaven and have eternal life. It can be hard in many other ways. When you get into temptation there is always a shortcut and there is always a right way. Most of the time you take the shortcut because you might not want to be picked on because you didn't do this or didn't do that, that's when God comes in. He will tell you that it's not what others think about you it's about what God thinks about you.

Fixing our eyes on Jesus means to focus on Jesus. Dont take shortcuts in life ,fix your eyes on Jesus. It some times can be hard to always fix our eyes on Jesus like if someone is teasing you that you believe in Jesus. It also can be hard if your life is perfect and you dont need anything help.
When it gets hard pray to God because He will help you. You can also look up to Jesus and ask Him for help. In my life ,fixing my eyes on Jesus means ,to look up to the Lord for help and to never take shortcuts in life, always fallow Jesus.

Fixing your eyes on Jesus means to obey him and just know what he says is good. We can fix our eyes on Jesus by going to church, reading the bible and, by praying. Another way is to trust in Him and know that He knows what He's doing. It can be really hard to fix our eyes on Jesus during temptation and hard times. In hard times it can be hard to fix your eyes on Jesus because your probaly like why did you do this Lord.
When it gets hard we just have to trust in the Lord. Sometimes it's hard to trust in Him espcielly when your freinds are forcing you not to. Fixing your eyes on is a lot of help in rough times. I feel so comforted know that he is by my side. You should too.

Every yaer in my school there is a theme verse that we have and memorize. I think it is cool how I get to go to a Christian school. This year in school our theme verse is "Let us run with perserverance, the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and protecter of our faith." Heb. 12:1-2. That is an awsome verse to me and I like it very much. Fixing your eyes on Jesus means to depend on JESUS when there is bad times. We can do this by not worrying so much about things and know that God is always in control. Sometimes, it can be hard to do this. It is really hard because we sometimes forget that God is so powerful. We can pray to God and ask him for help when it does get hard. If God did what you prayed for, praise him for being so powerful!
Fixing your eyes on Jesus is so important for other people to do. It is important because God does everything and sometimes we take credit for what he did. Fixing your eyes on Jesus is very important in my life because if I did not depend on God, I wouldn't realize that all the things that happen in life are done by GOD!! God is so amazing that ALL of us should fix our eyes on Jesus. So if you always thought that you did all the things that happened in your life, it was acually God that did everything!!! Thats how fixing your eyes on JESUS is SO important to everybody!

To fix your eyes on Jesus means to let Him into our life and take the path to God. It also means to not stray from our path tword Jesus. We can fix our eyes on Jesus by reading the bible, praying, and choosing the path that will lead us to God in Heaven. When you are on your path to heaven sometimes you need to go out of your way to help others. Doing the right thing and taking the path to heaven can be hard If others that do not belive in God are telling you you do not need him. When that happens we must pray and read the bible to stay faithful. When it gets Hard to follow God you have to trust in him even more.
When you go out of your way to help others you could also help them belive in God. You can give them a bible and read it with them. You could also bring them to church. When you help somone like this God likes it a lot. It can be hard to help another person understand God ,but then we need to pray aboutit. If you pray then God will answer.
