There's a statue of a Grecian maiden in Italy. She has a beautiful face and a graceful figure.

The townspeople tell the story of an untidy girl who came face to face with it. She gazed upon it, and hurried home to bathe, to comb her hair and to mend her dress.

Day by day she would stand and stare, and she changed. Her face became noble and her form became graceful.

So it will be if we gaze upon our Lord. We'll be mending our ways and becoming more gracious and Godlike.

That's why the Bible says, Let us "keep our eyes on Jesus."
