In the context of the Bible, this term is often associated with moments of deep contemplation, spiritual insight, or divine revelation. The act of looking fixedly can signify a profound engagement with the divine or a moment of significant spiritual importance.<br><br><b>Biblical Instances:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/acts/1-10.htm">Acts 1:10-11</a> :</b> "They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 'Men of Galilee,' they said, 'why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.'" In this passage, the disciples are described as looking fixedly into the sky as Jesus ascends into heaven. This moment of intense focus underscores the significance of the ascension and the promise of Christ's return.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/acts/3-4.htm">Acts 3:4</a> :</b> "Peter looked directly at him, as did John. 'Look at us!' said Peter." Here, Peter and John fix their gaze on a man lame from birth, indicating their intention to perform a miracle in the name of Jesus Christ. The act of looking fixedly is a precursor to the miraculous healing that follows, highlighting the apostles' faith and the power of God working through them.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/acts/7-55.htm">Acts 7:55</a> :</b> "But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God." Stephen's fixed gaze into heaven during his martyrdom reveals a vision of divine glory and the presence of Christ. This moment of spiritual clarity and revelation provides Stephen with strength and assurance in the face of persecution.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The act of looking fixedly in the Bible often accompanies moments of divine interaction or revelation. It signifies a deep spiritual focus and an openness to receiving God's truth. This intense gaze can be seen as a metaphor for the believer's call to fix their eyes on Jesus, as encouraged in <a href="/hebrews/12-2.htm">Hebrews 12:2</a> : "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith."<br><br>In a broader theological context, looking fixedly can represent the believer's pursuit of holiness and truth. It is an invitation to remain steadfast in faith, to seek God's presence, and to be attentive to His guidance. The unwavering focus exemplified in these biblical narratives serves as a model for Christians to maintain their spiritual vision amidst the distractions and challenges of life.<br><br><b>Practical Application:</b><br><br>For believers today, the concept of looking fixedly can be applied in various aspects of spiritual life. It encourages a disciplined focus on prayer, meditation on Scripture, and an attentive heart to the leading of the Holy Spirit. By fixing their eyes on Christ and His promises, Christians can navigate the complexities of life with clarity and purpose, drawing strength from the assurance of God's presence and faithfulness.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>adv.</I>) In a fixed, stable, or constant manner.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/816.htm"><span class="l">816. atenizo -- to look <b>fixedly</b>, gaze</span></a> <br><b>...</b> to look <b>fixedly</b>, gaze.
