Charles Spurgeon wrote, "If you look to Christ at the beginning of your Christian life, but then begin to look to yourself for its continuance to the end, you will fail. Jesus is the Alpha (the beginning), and be sure you make him Omega (the ending) as well."
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Faith is looking unto Jesus Christ, trusting him to do in us, what we cannot do. Believers are looking to Jesus dying for our sins and risen from the dead. We believe the gospel of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). We are saved to live the Christian life looking by faith unto Jesus.
Faith looks to Jesus, trusting him to continue working in us. Living the Christian life is knowing Christ works in us to please God (Hebrews 13:20-21). Indeed, Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega of every Christian's faith. He who began the good work in us will continue until the day of completion (Philippians 1:6; 2:13).
Faith looks to Jesus until he comes again. Understand that's the day when we see him face to face. We shall be glorified into his likeness (Romans 8:30). "We shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). Faith looks to Jesus until that day.
