"I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help" (Psalm 121:1; KJV). Hebrews 12:2 tells us we should LOOK to Jesus because he is the beginning and the end of our faith. The meaning of: "LOOK" in that verse means giving Jesus our undivided attention.

In Numbers 21:5-9 we read about the Israelites who had been complaining to God and as a result God sent fiery serpents amongst them. However, Moses interceded on behalf of the people. God told Moses to hold up a bronze serpent and that if a serpent bitt anyone and they LOOKED at the bronze serpent, they would live.

In John 3:14 Jesus compared the raising of the bronze serpent to his being lifted up on the cross. If we LOOK to Jesus (with believing eyes) then we are delivered from spiritual death. Plus, if we look on Jesus with the eyes of faith he will deliver us from all the works of the devil.

Jesus also had to look to God in his life; John 5:19-21 reveals that Jesus could only do what He SAW the Father doing - all the more reason for us to keep our eyes on him from whom our help comes.
