Looking to Jesus

Looking to Jesus is the way to run the race of faith, a looking away from all else to Jesus Christ alone as he is presented in the Scriptures. This might first be a look of inquiry, then become a look of understanding. It must be a look of contrition, a look of confidence, a look of dependence, a look of desire, and a look of hope. In all this, it cannot be anything but a look of love to the suffering Saviour who has given himself for our lives.
