LOOKING UNTO JESUS
Whose certain return, at an uncertain time, is from age to age the expectation and the hope of the faithful Church, who is encouraged in her patience, watchfulness and joy by the thought that the Savior is at hand. (Phil. 4:4, 5; 1 Thess. 5:23)
"LOOKING UNTO JESUS
the Author and the Finisher of our faith": that is to say, He Who is its pattern and its source even as He is its object; and Who from the first step even to the last, marches at the head of the believer; so that by Him our faith may be inspired, encouraged, sustained, and led on to its supreme consummation.
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
Hebrews 12:2
