Jesus Brings Those Who Look to Him into Perfection ㅡ

 “Looking to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

 (Hebrews 12:2)

 A life in Christ is a life of restfulness.

There may be no ecstasy of feeling, but there should be an abiding, peaceful trust.

Your hope is not in yourself; it is in Christ.

Your weakness is united to His strength, your ignorance to His wisdom, your frailty to His enduring might.

So you are not to look to yourself, not to let the mind dwell upon self, but look to Christ.

Let the mind dwell upon His love, upon the beauty, the perfection, of His character.

Christ in His self-denial, Christ in His humiliation, Christ in His purity and holiness, Christ in His matchless love—this is the subject for the soul’s contemplation.

It is by loving Him, copying Him, depending wholly upon Him, that you are to be transformed into His likeness.

 (Steps to Christ 70)
