So what do you see?
As long as those external things are the things we notice …
We’ll miss the great need for Jesus the overwhelming majority of them have,
A need God entrusted us to help them meet.
So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 2 Corinthians 5:16 (NIV)
