Seeing the Son

They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work? - John 6:30

    He that seeth the Son and believes on him hath everlasting life; and I will raise him up again at the last day.

    Seeing the Son in the covenant of mercy, incarnate, on the cross, risen and exalted at the right hand of God, and believing him is the whole of saving faith. Paul said in Heb.12:2, it is “looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.” You may read a dozen books on faith, hear a hundred sermons on faith, and memorize all of the definitions of faith, and it will all come down to this one thing, “He that seeth the Son and believes on him, hath everlasting life!” Look to Christ, not to your faith; look to Christ, not to your works, either good or bad; look to Christ, not to your feelings and experiences; look to Christ, not to your brethren, either the best of them or the worst of them. Look to Christ now, look to Christ anew, look to Christ alone, and look to Christ always.
