Jesus had a clear vision
It becomes obvious from reading the gospels that Jesus had a clear idea about what he was trying to do. Like lots of stories, however, we only really get the full picture when the vision has been fulfilled.
It seems strange then that so many people should think that having a vision is a bit pointless and only for the weak minded. If you look at any of the great people from history you will discover how they became focussed on one particular goal. For Jesus everything points to the cross as being the ultimate aim of his vision but like all good visions he also saw beyond this event to what would come after.
Why not take some time to think about your own vision? What is your life about? What are you trying to achieve?
Of course Jesus can help with some big answers to some of these questions but ultimately there is a part of life that will be particular to you. I don’t mean this in a selfish way because usually the bit of life that is just about us is actually about how we can help others.
