 Looking unto Jesus . . . - Watchman Nee

Looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 12.2.

What is meant by looking to Jesus? It is not to look at one’s self. To look off to Jesus is to be so attracted by Him that a person leaves his own inner world and is joined to the One to whom he looks. What kind of Jesus do you look to? You look to a Jesus who is both author and perfecter of your faith—the all-inclusive Jesus. The secret of spiritual advance, then, is to know how not to dwell on one’s personal condition. He who knows how not to look at himself is truly blessed. May the Spirit of God give us revelation, causing us to know what "looking away" is and how not to have an improper recollection of oneself.

Thank you Laura for posting this.

There was a time when my victories were few and my defeats many. I thought that it was very spiritual to look inward and go through a thorough self examination. This only brought me to the point of despair, but then I discovered the truth of Hebrews (12:1,2) The way out of failure is to not look at self but to look away to Jesus, and when we look to Him we discover that He is the all sufficient One. He is everything that we need to live the Christian life.

Mike
