Just as Peter needed to keep his eyes on the Son of God in order to walk on the surface of the water of the Sea of Galilee (Matthew 14:22-32), just as Peter summoned the lame man at the Gate Beautiful with the words, “Look on us” (Acts 3:4), even so does our Master invite us to look to him, to fix our gaze and fasten our hearts and souls upon him.
Dedicated discipleship entails looking straight ahead to our Lord and Savior, giving little or no heed to the divergent and demanding voices of the world. Jesus pleads: ’Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not’ (D&C 6:36). As we look to him and to him only we come to enjoy that abundant life which he brought (see John 10:10).
