Sometimes we are fixed on an image of Christ in a stable born, but he is not there anymore. Sometimes we are fixed on an image of Christ on a cross dying, but he is not there anymore. Sometimes we are fixed on an image of Christ at an empty tomb, but he is not there anymore. He has ascended and is seated at the right hand of God and is coming again! All parts of the story are important, but this final part is often over looked. Let's not get stuck in a spiritual moment, but make progress instead. Look to Him as He is. David Holdsworth
About This Quote

When we are fixated on an image of Christ in a stable, he is no longer there. Similarly, when we are fixated on an image of Christ on a cross, he is no longer there. All parts of the story are important to us, but this final part is frequently overlooked. Let's not get stuck thinking about what happened during his life on earth.

Instead let's progress along the journey towards Him that He has already begun. Let's keep moving forward and keep making progress.
