Summary of Lesson

A Bull’s Eye Focus on Jesus Christ

One of the first things you must know to become a great shooter is which eye is your dominant eye. To figure this out, you must complete an eye dominance test. If you use your non-dominant to aim the firearm, you will be off a few inches left or right of the target. With added distance, a few inches translates into a few feet causing you to miss your target completely. You must use your dominate eye to aim in order to be accurate.

Elder Mathias Held of the Seventy stated, “Our Father in Heaven has given us not only one, but two physical eyes. We can see adequately with only one eye, but the second eye provides us with another prospective. When both perspectives are put together in our brains, they produce a three-dimensional image of our surroundings.”

“Likewise, we have been given two sources of information, through our physical and spiritual capacities. Through the Holy Ghost, the Father give us truth directly from Him. This is most important. Moroni stated, “By the power of the Holy Ghost ye may know the truth of all things” (Moroni 10:5) (Elder Mathias Held, “Seeking Knowledge by the Spirit,” Ensign, April 2019).

Continuing this this analogy, one of your eye’s gives a physical perspective and the other a spiritual perspective. Both are essential to producing a clear picture of our earthly purpose. However, our spiritual eye is more important and should be our dominant eye for aiming our lives at Jesus Christ. Our physical eye can help us to see our surroundings better, but in order to hit our intended target, we must use our dominant spiritual perspective to focus our aim in on Jesus Christ. Otherwise, we will end missing our intended target.
