The Holiest of All by Andrew Murray eBook & audio book

Holiest of All: Meditations on the Book of Hebrews "What teaching is needed to give health and vigor to the Christian life in order that, through all adverse circumstances, it may hold fast from the beginning, firm until the end? The teaching of the epistle of Hebrews is the divine answer to [this question]. In every possible way, it sets before us the truth that only the full and perfect knowledge of who Christ is and what He does for us can bring us to a full and perfect Christian life."

to Jesus in His path on earth, and on His throne in glory.<br />

In His<br />

path on earth, as He endured the cross. He is the Leader <strong>of</strong> our<br />

faith, only in the path in which he walked Himself.<br />

In His life<br />

<strong>of</strong> self-denial and humility, <strong>of</strong> obedience and death, He showed<br />

us that there is<br />

no way to God but that <strong>of</strong> sacrifice, resisting the<br />

world and self unto death ; no way <strong>of</strong> deliverance from fallen<br />

nature but <strong>by</strong> dying to it. He is the Perfecter <strong>of</strong> our faith, as<br />

He sits on the throne. Looking to Him we see what the sure<br />

reward is <strong>of</strong> dying with Him, what the divine power and glory<br />

are to which He invites our trust and the committal <strong>of</strong> our<br />

souls, what the heavenly life is that His Spirit will bring down<br />

into our hearts. Let every thought <strong>of</strong> Him on the throne<br />

our hearts in loving, steady gaze to the throne, where He<br />

reigns, to communicate to us, in unbroken continuity, the power<br />

or our sins, but to Him who hath put away sin for ever.<br />

Not to<br />

ourselves or our faith, whether in its weakness or its strength,<br />

but to Him whose presence is the life <strong>of</strong> our faith. Not to the<br />

world or its temptations, but to Him who hath said : Be<br />

<strong>of</strong> good<br />

cheer, I have overcome the world. Not to Satan or his threats,<br />

but to Him who hath brought him to naught. Not to men,<br />

their fear or their favour, but to Jesus, the God-Man, Immanuel,<br />

God with us, our Brother and our King. Looking to Jesus and<br />

Jesus alone.<br />

Looking to Him always and in all. In trial and trouble, as<br />

in joy and prosperity ; in solitude and repose, as in company<br />

and business ;<br />

in religious worship, as in daily life ;—always, only,<br />

looking to Jesus. Looking to Him, to see what He is, to hear
