Looking unto Jesus

“We see Jesus … crowned with glory and honour”
— Heb. 2:9

But though the world can see no more
Him it cast out with scorn,
The eye of fresh-born faith can soar
Above — where He is gone.

“Are we … looking steadfastly into heaven? Alas! what inconstant hearts we have; how fickle and changing! The Holy Ghost ever leads the eye to, and would keep it fixed on, Jesus. … To reveal and glorify Him is the habitual aim of the Spirit.”
