Week - Lamesa Church of Christ

WHAT DO YOU SEE?
All in the Family was a comedy that aired on American
television from 1971-1979. There was much not to like about the
show, but there were also moments of tremendous insight into
human behavior. In one of the episodes, Edith and Archie were
attending Edith’s high school class reunion. Edith encountered an
old classmate by the name of Buck who, unlike his earlier days, had
become excessively obese. Edith and Buck had a delightful
conversation about old times and the things that they did together,
but remarkably Edith didn’t seem to notice how extremely heavy
Buck had become.
Later, when Edith and Archie were talking, she said in her
whiny voice, “Archie, ain’t Buck a beautiful person?” Archie
looked at her with a disgusted expression and said, “You’re a pip,
Edith. You know that? You and I look at the same guy and you
see a beautiful person and I see a blimp.”

I feel a bit like Archie Bunker. I often find myself saying
to God, “You and I both look at the same person, and you see a
beautiful person on the inside while all I see are the flaws on the
outside.” And I can picture God saying, “Yeah, ain’t it too bad?”

Father, please forgive me of my blindness and help me to
see people the way you see them. To consider them with the same
value that you place on them. To extend the same kind of love that
you extend. To focus more on the inside than the outside. In Jesus’
name, amen.
Our Records
“But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not consider his
appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does
not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward
appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.’” (I Samuel 16:7)

ELDERS
Edith got a puzzled expression on her face and said, “Yeah,
ain’t it too bad?”
One of the things that stand out as you read through the
gospels is that when Jesus looked at people, he saw something
beautiful that no one else saw. He didn’t just see a woman who had
been married five times and was living in fornication (John 4); he
saw someone with a desire to learn about the Messiah. He didn’t
just see tax collectors and prostitutes (Luke 15; Matthew 21); he
saw people longing for a deeper relationship with God. He didn’t
just see lepers and people with various physical ailments; he saw
the deeper needs of the heart.
