Again, Jesus is making the connection between Himself and God the Father. Jesus is wanting us to look up beyond what we see physically and to see the connection that He has with the Father.
In the Lord’s Supper we see something similar. We want to “lift up our hearts” and see more than just bread and juice. We want to see the things represented by the elements, to see the Lord Jesus Christ seated in His heavenly throne. Jesus has come with the authority of God. He has also come with a commandment of God. He has come to bring eternal life to sinners.
It is so easy for us to keep our head down, to never lift up our hearts and our minds to see Jesus for who He is as our savior and Lord. Know who Jesus is and who has sent Him!
Consider: John 10:28-30
