Last week I used the same thought: Through the eyes of Jesus with a subtitle of "I say religious and just, He says just religious!" Today I want to continue with the thought of looking through the eyes of Jesus. I want to use as a subtitle, "I say accomplishment, He says just busy!"

How often in our world today we judge success by how busy someone appears top be. Jesus wants us, period. Of course there are things that need to be done along the way, but not to the point that we neglect the needful things that He has a for us. So get "UNBUSY" and love the Lord!!!

 I. Many Today are simply busy, busy busy

  A. Busy for busy's sake just isn't enough

  B. Busy to the point that we miss what Jesus has for us is costly spiritually

  C. Busy to the point that we wear-out or tire or quit is hurtful - vs. 40

 II. Many need to hear what Jesus has to say

  A. Receiving Him is needed - vs. 38

    1. With an attitude of hearing

    2. With an attitude of acceptance

    3. With an attitude of obedience

    4. With an attitude of worship

  B. Many receive Him with wrong ideas of what they need to do

    1. Works are the gateway - WRONG

    2. Appearances are more important that internal make-up

    3. Others should have an identical approach to serving the Lord as we!

  III. Jesus has insight for us to live by - thru His eyes

  A. We should be careful about all areas of our life - vs. 41

  B. Don't neglect the spiritual side of your life! - vs. 42

  C. Be careful about showiness - Mt. 6:1,5

  D. Lay up the right treasures. - Mt. 6:19

  E. Seek first the kingdom of God - Matt. 6:33
