“Looking unto Jesus, the Author & Finisher of our Faith…”
Hebrews 12:2
The one running in a race will surely lose his victory if he keeps looking behind him or from side to side to see if his fellows are coming out ahead of him. He must run to win the crown of immortal glory, looking unto Jesus, who is the author and finisher of his faith.
We cannot for a moment be off our guard.
The crown, the crown, the imperishable crown to be won, is to be kept before the one running the race. So run that ye may obtain…. Look not to man.
Reflecting Christ pg.277
Look to Jesus!
Friends, let us keep the words of Paul ever before us:
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the Righteous Judge, shall give me at that Day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”
2 Timothy 4:7-8
Reader, let us keep pressing on, looking ever before us, looking unto Jesus, that at that Day, we may receive “the crown of life which the Lord has promised unto them that love Him.” James 1:12
