- Hi, everyone.

- Yes, welcome.

- What are you doing?

- I learned in church that weneed to keep our eyes on Jesus

and not get distractedby the rest of the world.

- So you're...

- I'm trying to give Godmy undivided attention.

- And how's that working out for you?

- It's really uncomfortable.

My neck is starting to hurt.

(disappointing music)

(air whooshing)

- You know that's notwhat keeping your eyes

on Jesus really means, right?

- I know.

Obviously Jesus isn't just up in the sky.

- Okay, good.

- I just get distracted so easily.

I thought if I couldn'tsee the rest of the world,

then it'd be easier tokeep my eyes on Jesus.

- I get where you're coming from,

'cause I get super distracted too,

but that's just not practical.

- So how do I keep my eyes on Jesus?

- Hmm.

Horse blinders!(horse whinnies)

- Seriously?

- Nah, I'm just kidding.

But I already think you knowhow to keep focused on God.

- Yeah, by spending time in prayer

and reading your Bible every day.

- See, you don't need to strain your neck

by looking up all the time.

- But the world can be so distracting.

- It can, but just becausewe have our eyes on Jesus

doesn't mean we ignorethe world around us.

- It doesn't?

- Well, think about it.

Would Jesus ignore everything around him?

- He wouldn't.

He didn't.

If he did, he wouldn't havedied on the cross for us.

- Exactly.

We keep our focus on God, butwe still live in this world.

- What's that phrase?

In the world, not of it?

- Yeah, I think that ideacomes from Jesus's prayer

in John 17.

"They do not belong to thisworld any more than I do."

- But there's more tothat passage, isn't there?

(phone tapping)(air whooshing)

"Just as you sent me into the world,

I'm sending them into the world."

We're not just in the world.

We've been sent into it.

- That's a big difference.

This requires a lot more action from us.

- You're telling me!

I had it all wrong withthis staring up straight

and horse blinders thing.

- You know I was just joking

about the horse blinders, right?

- I know, I know.

I'm just realizing thatkeeping our eyes on Jesus

does not mean shuttingout the rest of the world.

- You're just now realizing that?

- By keeping my eyes on Jesus,I have a better understanding

of God's heart for the world.

- I like where this is going.

- And that means activelysharing God's love

to those around me

and telling them about Jesus.

- Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

- Thank you, but what did I win?

- A chance to tell someone about Jesus!

- I know that was my idea,but it sounds kind of scary.

- Would you rather livethe rest of your life

straining your neck?

- No, I would not.

- Remember, keep youreyes focused on Jesus

and then look around

and see who he's leading you to talk to.

- His word is forever alive.

(air whooshing)

- Do you ever have a hardtime focusing on Jesus?

- Try getting some horse blinders.

- No, we decided horse blinders

was not a solution, remember?

- Right.

Nah, I'm just kidding.

But I already think you already,

I already think you already,

I think you already think you

already know how to thinkabout you already know.

(scoffing)

- [Woman] Exactly, allof that, let's use that!

- All right.

- I know that was my idea,but it sounds kind of scary.

(engine roaring)

- Wow!

(both laughing)

Nice!

That was crazy!

That's awesome!

Exactly.

We keep our eyes(insect buzzing)

focused on God.

Sorry. (both laughing)

Kept my eyes focused on thebug that was flying at me.

It was just like. (engine zooming)

See, that's why we don't ignorethe world around us, okay?

Because of stuff likethat, I would have died.

That was a big bug.
