K.I.S.S. IT!!

The preacher who mentored me back in the late 80s, the late Carroll Sites, told me, "When in doubt just kiss it." I asked, "What does that mean?" And he said, "Just keep it simple stupid." We both had a great laugh out of that, but I always remembered it. That's what I'll do now.

It says in Hebrews 12:2 to "fix our eyes on Jesus," or "keep our eyes on Jesus" everyday. 

Well, what does that mean? Simply? As Christians we are supposed to "walk as Jesus did" or "live as Jesus did."(I. Jn. 2:3-6):

1 John 2:3-6 NIV

[3] We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. [4] Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. [5] But if anyone obeys his word, love for God is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: [6] Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.

Ok, then how did He walk or live? He walked in love for all people and lived to serve other people. He denied self and lived to love and help people. 

So, as Christians, we "keep our eyes on Jesus" when we "walk as Jesus did" which is laying down our lives for people and loving and serving them which is keeping His commands. So awesome!!

John 13:34-35 NIV

[34]  “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. [35] By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.

The old phrase from the early 90s that a lot of people made fun of is really a great gauge for our lives in the context of this message. The phrase is:

"What would Jesus do?"

In order to keep our eyes on Jesus, to walk as Jesus did, just ask that in any given situation. "What would Jesus do?"

Keep it simple stupid. 😝

So cool!!
