“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth.”
Here is the way of life in a nutshell. Who does not understand it? So simple, so sure!
“Look” — the easiest thing to do — not work, not pray, not try, but LOOK. “Unto Me” — the most precious Object — not to men, preachers, parents or friends, but to the Lord Jesus. Just as the bitten Israelite looked to the serpent of brass lifted up on the pole, so the sinner must look to Jesus lifted up on the cross. “Be ye saved” — the sure result. No mere hope or doubt about it in the message, but “be ye saved.” Just what the jailor of Philippi heard: “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Acts 16:3131And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31).
