"Beeline to Jesus"

I lead a group of 7 pretty awesome high schoolers in a Bible study (we only have 2 weeks of our group left!).  Last week, this is what we discussed-so I'm going to share it here because I think this truly is the pinnacle of our faith.  :)

Charles Spurgeon was a pretty awesome guy who lived in the 1800s in England.  He was first appointed a pastor at the age of 16, and by the age of 19 he was the pastor of the largest Baptist church in London.  (1 Timothy 4:12 anyone?)  From everything I've read, he was an incredibly passionate and powerful preacher, and God was really working through him.  He was once asked about his preaching style, and answered with the following quote:  "I take my text and make a beeline for the cross."  How awesome is that?!?  Since then, I read somewhere the WWJD (What Would Jesus Do?) movement that was incredibly popular for quite awhile was based upon this quote, this rationale of finding the "beeline for the cross" in everything we do.  In EVERYTHING we do, we should search for Jesus in it-how He would think or react to the things/situations around us.  While doing some reading about this quote, I found another quote that I think explained really clearly how the Bible is set up to be a "beeline to Jesus," and here it is:  "The Old Testament points forward to Jesus, the Gospels unveil Jesus, the epistles explain Him, and Revelation exalts Him."  

How awesome is that?  In everything we do, every reading from the Bible, every time we talk about God, everything we do in our "secular" lives (more on that thought later...), at work, home, school...we should find the beeline to Jesus.  

One final thought:  "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."   1 Corinthians 10:31.  ;)  Such a hard thing to truly focus on, but one of the reason for me that I'm going to try to start this blog.  It's so important to immerse ourselves in God, to soak Him in, and live our lives as a reflection of His awesome love.  This is my goal and hope for myself as I get ready to head out on my sixth tour with a group of high schoolers that will praise His name for a week across the Midwest.  

I'm going to try to end each of my posts with one thinking point or question, so here is my question for today: How can we focus on Jesus in the mundane, everyday tasks of our lives?  How do we focus on seeing eternity in the small, mundane tasks in our lives?
