Looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eterna1 life
Everyone is looking for something. The man who is knowledgeable is looking for more knowledge. The rich man is looking for more riches. The poor man is looking for his next meal. The famous are looking for more fame. Looking, always looking.
I want to sound out the praises of the Almighty God of all grace, for some in this sin-filled world are "looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Clyrist unto life eternal". Yes we looked yesterday, and we are looking today and will be looking tomorrow.
Why do we keep looking? For we have found that mercy in the blood-stained Redeemer. Does that sound strange? Perhaps in the natural realm, but not in the spiritual. When an eternity-bound sinner sees the Savior, he is transfixed by the glory and beauty of Christ Jesus, and he is looking, always looking.
Yes, we are "Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith." (Heb. 12:2). We have found Him today, and we will find Him again tomorrow. There must be no mistake about this.
John was greatly rejoicing when he saw the Word of life "Which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled of the Word of life" (1 Jn. 1:1). John the Baptist looked upon the Lord Jesus. "And looking upon Jesus as He walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God (Jn. 1:36).
Look, man, Look! "Looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." He is worthy to look upon. Praises to His eternal grace. I Have looked!
