(John Newton)
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter
of our faith!" Hebrews 12:2
Every step along the path of life, is a battle for the
Christian to keep the eyes of the heart on Jesus.
If I may speak my own experience, I find that to keep my eye
simply upon Christ, as my peace, and my life--is by far the hardest part of my
calling.
Hungering and thirsting for Christ, is the central daily
Christian discipline.
We depend on Him for hourly supplies of wisdom, strength,
and comfort!
To know Jesus, is the shortest description of true grace;
to know Him better, is the surest mark of growth in grace;
to know Him perfectly, is eternal life.
This includes all I can wish for my dear friends--that you
may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of Jesus.
