Jesus is not to the right, He is not to the left, He is not behind you, but straight ahead of you, and can be found if you look up, not physically, but spiritually. Set your affections on the things above will soon divert your minds away from the things of the world. He has returned to the Father to prepare a place for us, and the direction is now UP.
He is not down here, or around us. Now-a-days, if we look down or around us, we will be caught up with the problems near us, so saints look up, for your redemption draws near. If we keep steadfast in God‘s word, we are looking Him straight in the eye, so study to show yourself approved, and meditate on it always.
Open your eyes, you will see Him too.

Psalm 104:24-25 O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions; 25 This great and wide sea, In which are innumerable teeming things, Living things both small and great.
Who Is He, that even the wind and sea obey Him?
He is God’s Son. God declared it (Matthew 17:4-5), the disciples knew it, Jesus acknowledged it, others saw the signs of proof, and if we believe it, blessed are we who believe, even if we do not see (John 20:27-29). He will lead us to the Father one day soon.

There are enough witness who saw and heard these things about Jesus Christ, passed them on to us, and I believe them. I know it, and I am certain that He is the Son of the living God. Today I boldly say: I am not ashamed of the Christ who gave His life to save me, and I wait patiently for His return to take me home. What about you?

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
