Let us fix our eyes on Jesus. By Octavius Winslow. Hebrews chapter 12 verse 2. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith.
We cannot keep our eyes too exclusively or too intently fixed on Jesus. All salvation is in Him. All salvation proceeds from Him. All salvation leads to Him. And for the assurance and comfort of our salvation, we are to repose believingly and entirely on Him.
Christ must be all. Christ the beginning. Christ the center. Christ the end.
O sweet truth to you who are sensible of your spiritual poverty, vileness, and insufficiency, and of the ten thousand flaws and failures of which perhaps no one is cognizant but God and your own soul. O the blessedness to turn from self and rest in Christ, a full Christ, a loving Christ, a tender Christ, whose heart's love never chills, from whose eye darts no reproof, from whose lips breathes no sentence of condemnation.
He whose daily life is affixing his eyes on Jesus has heaven on his way to heaven. And when Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
