LOOKING UNTO JESUS
and at nothing else, as our text expresses it in one untranslatable Word (aphoroontes). which at the same time directs us to fix our gaze upon Him, and to turn it away from everything else.
UNTO JESUS
and not at ourselves, our thoughts, our reasonings, our imaginings, our inclinations our wishes, our plans;---
UNTO JESUS
and not at the world, its customs, its example, its rules, its judgments.
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
