If you are in need of hope today, look to Jesus! If you are weighted down by grief, look to Jesus! If you are held down by the weight of your sin, look to Jesus! Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith - I must look to Jesus from the beginning (at salvation) and all the way through (for leadership). If you are trying to do it on your own, look to Jesus, because you don't have what it takes, but He does!
"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)
