Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…

(HEBREWS 12:2)

[Beloved,] …just pause to ask your own heart, are you so looking to Jesus? Is He, in your view, both the Author and Finisher of [your] faith? Many there are, who seem very willing to make him the Author, but feel somewhat reluctant to accept him as the Finisher. [Ask yourself this question…] How did I first look to Jesus? Was it not as a poor, helpless, friendless, needy, self-condemned sinner? And have I anything of my own now, to recommend me any otherwise? Let this question be fairly applied to the heart, under divine teaching, and sure I am there will not be a child of God upon earth, if truly taught of God…ready to make Jesus as much the Finisher as the Author both of his faith and salvation.
