It is said that when Leonardo da Vinci painted his famous Last Supper, he asked a friend to tell him what impressed him most about the picture. He replied, “The cup in the hand of Jesus. The Holy Grail brilliantly catches the eye.”

The great artist quickly took his paintbrush and erased the cup from the painting. When asked why he did that, da Vinci answered, “Nothing must detract from the face of Jesus.”

Jesus deserves to be the focus of our attention. Heb.12:2-3 says, “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.”
