The Power of Focusing on Jesus

“Therefore let us also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews‬ ‭12:1-2‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Nowadays in the mornings, I set a 5-minute countdown timer on my phone and place it in front of my daughter Mae while she is drinking her milk.

It helps her to focus on the task at hand, challenging herself to drink her milk consistently and finish at within a reasonable timing.

Before doing this, Mae was distracted by her own wandering thoughts, playing with all the items around her, instead of drinking the milk.

Even adults like us can benefit from having an object of focus. Without focus, we are more likely to be driven around by the whims and fancies of our sinful flesh, doing what is unprofitable and death-inducing.

When we lack focus, we fall for the illusion that there is still a lot of time to waste. We end up doing things to ‘kill time’, using this purest currency unprofitably or even self-destructively.

On the other hand, when we look to Jesus, we will be able to focus on being led by His Spirit; receiving the supply of grace needful for everything in life.

The author of the epistle to the Hebrews likened our mortal lifetime to a “race”. In a race, every second counts—time is precious. There are winners and losers, and prizes to be won.

This prize is not talking about earning our salvation, but rather winning eternal rewards. We are already saved, but not everyone will receive the same measure of rewards. Rewards like special positions of honor will be given to us based on the good works that we have done in service to the Lord Jesus, using the grace that He first gave to us.

Jesus set His eyes on the prize (our redemption), ran His race, enduring the pain, and finally sat down at the right hand of God as the winner.

There is an eternity for you to sit down, after you have completed the race that is set before you.

If you get distracted by every rabbit or fallen leaf along the race course, you will never be a winner. The enemy throws many distractions in our path, hoping that we will forfeit the race. He will do anything to make us turn away from Jesus.

If you have been distracted by the enemy, this is a loving reminder for you to keep your eyes on Jesus again.

Something happens when you look at Him—faith rises up in you, enabling you to receive God’s power to continue running, and to overcome every obstacle.

“Peter answered him and said, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the waters.” He said, “Come!” Peter stepped down from the boat, and walked on the waters to come to Jesus. But when he saw that the wind was strong, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”” (Matthew‬ ‭14:28-30‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The incident of Peter walking on water perfectly demonstrates the power of keeping our eyes on Jesus.

When Peter’s focus was on going over to Jesus, he walked on water just like Jesus. By beholding the Lord, Peter was transformed into the same image, doing the supernatural works of God.

However, when Peter was distracted by the strong wind, his focus shifted and he lost the ability to walk on water. His mind raced with thoughts, probably reasoning how it is impossible to walk on water and how dangerous his current situation was. He became natural again, just like what he newly focused on.

If you want supernatural results, look to Jesus. As long as your eyes are steadfastly fixed on Him, your faith will be active and effective. What is naturally impossible will become possible to you!

Farewell. Ida – Ida Haendel 192?-2020

So Ida has left us – a legend has departed. What a violinist! What a woman! Magnificent, unique, incorrigible – she was a law unto herself.

First, the playing: a film about her was aptly entitled: ‘I AM the Violin.’ And she was! The violin was her life; she mastered it, devoted so much of her existence to it, cared so much about it. Every performance was an event, which she took absolutely seriously, giving each concert her all. She spoke through her violin, proved herself through it, lived within the music she made. She was a marvel, an icon; each note she played was the result of total conviction – and as a consequence was totally convincing. She had been groomed from the beginning to be a star – and a star she was.

But she was also an adorable person. I had heard of her, of course, from my childhood onwards – hadn’t everybody? But I didn’t meet her until - I think - 2000, when I attended a memorable recital she gave at the Wigmore Hall (apparently her debut there!), concluding with a magisterial performance of Enescu’s 3rd sonata. I’d heard, to my delight, that she’d heard me somewhere, and had liked it, so I dared to go backstage afterwards. Having enthused about her playing, I rather uncertainly told her that I was Steven. She looked at me disbelievingly. ‘You’re NOT’ she announced, in her wonderful deep voice. I assured her that I certainly had been last time I looked in the mirror. She accepted this, and proposed that we play the Brahms Double together. It was such an honour; but alas, I just couldn’t do the dates she suggested.

I came across her shortly thereafter, however, at the Verbier Festival. I’d seen that she was giving masterclasses there, so when I saw her, I asked how they were going. She looked at me severely. ‘Steven,’ she boomed, wagging her finger. ‘I don’t teach.’ I was puzzled; she was, after all, advertised as the teacher of the violin class. ‘So you like teaching?’ I said, provoking her. The finger wagged again. ‘Steven,’ she repeated with equal seriousness, ‘I don’t teach.’ ‘So how’s the teaching going?’ I asked. Her finger was on its way in my direction, and she’d started to say my name in the same tone of voice – when suddenly her face broke into a big smile. ‘Oh – so you’re a tease,’ she said. After that, we got on famously. My other main memory of that Verbier encounter was of her examining something – I couldn’t see what - in the hotel lobby, and then calling me over. It turned out that the object in her hands was an album of recent photos of her. ‘Look, Steven,’ she commanded urgently. ‘Don’t I look gorgeous?’

Later, we took her to dinner near her flat in London. Tottering through the streets in her high heels, she suddenly came to a stop in front of a (closed) clothes shop, where either a pair of gold shoes or a gold dress (I can’t remember which) had caught her eye. It was impossible to budge her, late though we were for the restaurant. ‘Wouldn’t I look wonderful in that?’ she asked us challengingly. We agreed that she would. ‘I’m coming back here tomorrow morning,’ she assured us. She spoke that night about her appearance. ‘You think I dress like this just to go out?’ she asked. ‘No! Catch me at breakfast – I’ll look just the same.’ Her pride in her appearance was never-changing. Perhaps in someone else it could have been too much – but with Ida, it was wonderful, admirable; life-affirming, in fact, like her pride in her playing.

It is funny that already I’ve seen two obituaries giving her age five years apart. She’d certainly have preferred the younger estimate… It was impossible to get the truth out of her. I remember asking another glorious violinist-character, Lorand Fenyves, whether he knew Ida. ‘Oh yes, of course!’ he replied. ‘I knew her when I was 16 and she was 15.’ He paused. ‘And now I’m 80 and’ his eyes twinkled, ‘she’s 55!’

Although we never got to play the Brahms Double together, we did perform the Beethoven Triple concerto with Martha Argerich and the Rotterdam Philharmonic under the then little-known Yannick Nezet-Seguin in (I think) 2006. Now THAT was an experience – to put it rather mildly… Playing with those two way-larger-than-life ladies was something not to be forgotten; the two adored each other, and it was great fun to witness their interaction. Ida had only played the piece once before, as I remember; but she played it with utter conviction. And Martha was – well, Martha. And Yannick kept the whole thing together, somehow. So – it was special…

It was supposed to happen again, in Miami (where Ida lived); but alas, it didn’t. Still, I kept in touch with Ida and on one memorable occasion got to interview her at the Wigmore Hall (there’s a recording of that occasion on Youtube). She also came down to Prussia Cove once for three days, her visit culminating in a breathtaking account of the Bach Chaconne (she sported an almost equally breathtaking dress to match!) at the Hall for Cornwall. We also played and taught/didn’t teach together in 2010 at the Summit Music Festival, just outside New York. That was another unforgettable experience. At the concert that concluded the festival, Ida played virtuoso pieces with the orchestra that would have been impressive in someone thirty years younger – even younger – than she was. But equally Ida-ish was the post-concert experience. For some reason, it got very late, and it was well after midnight when we were taken in search of food. Not surprisingly, there were few options in the countryside at that time of night; but eventually we found a 24-hour diner. We went in and occupied a table. Looking around at the bikers and other rather unpredictable-looking types, I was a tad nervous; not Ida. I fortified myself with a margarita; she had tea. At one point, the conversation turned to Schumann, and his 2nd violin sonata (which at that time I didn’t know very well). I asked a question about it. ‘You want to hear how it goes?’ Ida demanded to know. She strode over to her violin-case, pulled out the violin, and to the astonishment (and then, luckily the delight) of the assembled company, began to play it. A photo taken at the time (below) shows me a little less than comfortable – and her absolutely in her element.

Oh, Ida. By the last time I spoke to her – too long ago, but not that long ago – I’d heard that she’d become very forgetful, so wasn’t quite sure whether to call her or not. But I dialled anyway, and the phone was answered. ‘Hello, Ida?” ‘Who is it?’ ‘It’s Steven – Steven Isserlis.” Silence – then the phone went dead. Oh dear. I tried again. This time I was able to hold her attention long enough to remind her who I was. We started to talk, and as the conversation progressed, she evidently remembered more and more about our friendship. It was true that she repeated herself a lot; but still – she was very much Ida, the same wonderful voice, the same love of life.

And now she’s gone. Farewell, Ida the legend; we humanoids will miss you – but thank you, thank you for giving us so much. Everything, in fact.

【十一荃灣開槍完整片段】無警示近距離開槍 延誤救治至少三分鐘

較早前盧偉聰召開記者會，回應於十月一日荃灣示威中，有警員近距離槍擊示威者心口事件。他聲稱「警員曾警告但無效，生命受嚴重威脅，逼於無奈使用佩槍，制止暴力襲擊，做法合法及合理。」他又聲稱在場警員隨即為傷者止血及施救。本台記者從另一角度拍攝到事發經過，發現與警方描述有所出入。

盧偉聰於記者會聲稱警員曾向示威者警告但無效，而警員感到生命受嚴重威脅，逼於無奈使用佩槍。然而，片段顯示警員舉槍時先指向前方示威者頭部，然後指向右方的示威者於不足一米的距離內向左胸開槍，整個過程不足一秒，並未有向在場市民作任何警示。

盧又聲稱有人向受傷倒地的傷者及警員投擲汽油彈。然而錄影片段中只有一枚汽油彈於警員位置五米外落地，而在場警員亦無為中槍倒地的傷者進行保護或急救，只站在一旁及制服一名示威者，期間該警員更聲稱：「First-aid 我都有啦」。

盧又聲稱在場警員隨即為傷者止血及施救，但片段中顯示傷者中槍倒地後至少三分鐘，除了正在制服示威者的警員外，在旁六位警員仍沒有施救，期間中槍者多次高喊「救命」，惟警員仍沒有理會，直至三分鐘後方有警員低頭查看傷者。片段亦顯示中槍後至少五分鐘，仍未有警方急救員到場施救。

Earlier, Commission of Police, Stephen Lo responded in a press release that an officer fired point blank at a protester in the 1st of October protest. Lo claimed, "the officer had warned the protesters but to no avail and he had felt that his life was in grave danger. He had no choice but to stop violence with his gun; all is legal and legitimate." He also claimed that the officers IMMEDIATELY treated the victim's wounds to save him.
Our reporters recorded the incident from a different angle, which seems to speak differently of these claims.

First, Commission Lo argues that the protesters had not heeded the police's warnings, causing the officer to "feel that he was in grave danger" and needed to use his gun. However, footage shows that the officer first points his gun to protester's head in front of him, then to his right, firing at a protester in less than 1 meter. This transition lasted less than a second, making it impossible for any 'warning' to have been issued.

Second, Lo argues that someone had thrown a petrol bomb at the fallen protesters and police. However, footage reveals that there had only been one such object thrown, falling onto somewhere 5 meters away from them. No police officers could be seen doing anything for the protester shot at all, but were busy subduing another protester or just watching.

Also, Lo argued that the police had IMMEDIATELY treated his wounds, but footage reveals that the shot protester was left on the ground for AT LEAST 3 minutes completely ignored. The shot protester was screaming "SAVE ME", yet the police officer had stayed clear away from him. Only after 3 minutes had there been an officer checking on him. For well over 5 minutes, no police officer could be seen treating his wounds.
