C.H. Spurgeon emphasizes the concept of 'Holy Foresight,' encouraging believers to look beyond their current struggles and tribulations to the future glory that awaits them in Christ. He reflects on how Jesus, despite His humiliation, maintained a vision of His ultimate exaltation, urging us to adopt a similar perspective in our own lives. Spurgeon calls for courage in the face of adversity, reminding us that our present sufferings are temporary and that we should focus on the promise of future triumph. He encourages believers to find strength in the assurance of being with Christ and witnessing His glory, proclaiming, 'Nevertheless - hereafter.'

A.B. Simpson emphasizes the importance of focusing on Jesus and the future glory that awaits believers. He encourages the congregation to look beyond their current struggles and to envision the opportunities for service and joy that lie ahead, just as Jesus endured the cross for the joy set before Him. By gazing upon Jesus, we become transformed and reflect His beauty in our lives, much like a child who sees a golden sign reflected on a brick wall. Simpson urges believers to ensure that their vision is solely on Christ, as this will shape their perspective and actions. Ultimately, everything we behold will be influenced by our focus on Him.
