Looking unto 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. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. Revelation 3:21.

In afflictions and deep darkness nothing is more beneficial, comforting, and strengthening than a look at Jesus, the suffering and the crucified Redeemer. Turn not your eyes hither and thither and do not seek comfort here and there in men and nature. Seek it where it is to be found, where it lies prepared for you. Look to Jesus who is the ’’author" of the work of faith in you; He shall and must also be its "finisher. " See Him suffer and die. Behold Him at whose service all joy and glory in heaven stood, away back in eternity, who yet, voluntarily, left all joy and chose the cross, and death, re-entering His glory. That which His divine power accomplished and wrought in His human nature, it is able to accomplish even in you, in your human nature, for you are bone of His bones and flesh of His flesh. As He conquered in His great misery and agony, so also shall you conquer by Him, If you regard Him in faith. As He, after His sufferings, was exalted to the right hand of God, and sits on the throne in His human nature, so also shall you be exalted by Him if you overcome by Him. That which He could accomplish and become, you can accomplish and become by Him. Follow Him with your eyes from the Mount of Olives to the right hand of God and let His power work mightily in you; then shall you also enter with Him from suffering into glory.

Jesus, may our hearts be burning.

With more fervent love for Thee;

May our eyes be ever turning ,

To Thy Cross of agony;

Till in glory, parted never

From the blessed Savior’s side.

Graven in our hearts forever,

Dwell the Cross, the Crucified.
