Lord, You are everything, and we are nothing. You are the center of God¡¯s economy and also the goal of our pursuit. Lord, we want to know You, to comprehend You, and to gain You.
Looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down on the right hand of the throne of God.

All the overcoming saints in the Old Testament are only (witnesses) of faith, whereas Jesus is the (Author) of faith. He is the Originator, the Inaugurator, the source, and the cause of faith. In our natural man we have no believing (ability). We do not have faith by ourselves. The faith by which we are (saved) is the (precious) faith that we have received from the Lord (2 Pet. 1:1). When we (look) (unto) Jesus, He as the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45) transfuses us with Himself, with His believing (element). Then, spontaneously, a kind of believing arises in our being, and we have the (faith) to believe in Him. (See Heb. 12:2 note 3)
