“Looking unto Jesus.” — Hebrews 12:2
It is ever the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves instead of Christ. He insinuates, “Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you have not the joy of His children; you have such a wavering hold of Jesus.” All these are thoughts about self, and we shall never find comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns our eyes entirely away from self: He tells us that we are nothing, but that “Christ is all in all.” Remember, therefore, it is not…
thy hold of Christ that saves thee — it is Christ; it is not thy joy in Christ
that saves thee — it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ, though that be
the instrument — it is Christ’s blood and merits; therefore, look not so
much to thy hand with which thou art grasping Christ, as to Christ; look
not to thy hope, but to Jesus, the source of thy hope; look not to thy
faith, but to Jesus, the author and finisher of thy faith. We shall never find
happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what
Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul. If we would at once
overcome Satan and have peace with God, it must be by “looking unto
Jesus.” Keep thine eye simply on Him; let His death, His sufferings, His
merits, His glories, His intercession, be fresh upon thy mind; when thou
wakest in the morning look to Him; when thou liest down at night look to
Him. Oh! let not thy hopes or fears come between thee and Jesus; follow
hard after Him, and He will never fail thee.
“My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesu’s blood and righteousness:
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesu’s name.”
