“Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Heb. 12:2).<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Perhaps no statement of Scripture gives a clearer summary of how the believer may live a victorious and joyful Christian life, than that found in the words, “Looking unto Jesus.” The words carry the thought of looking away from all else and centering our attention and affection on Him, as He is seated “at the right hand of the throne of God.” We are to look away from ourselves, both our failures and successes; we are to look away from men, however godly they may be, and look only to Him. “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” Just as He tells us to “look unto Me, and be ye saved,” so as saved ones we are to be constantly “looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith,” and “consider Him … lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.” For “the Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: Thou maintainest my lot. … I have set the Lord always before me: because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved,” always remembering that “He faileth not.”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
I look away from my heart so fickle,
And away from men whose lives do fail;
I look to my Saviour seated in glory,
Who beareth my name within the veil.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
