Looking Unto #Jesus | J.C. Ryle

“Looking Unto Jesus” is a compelling sermon by J.C. Ryle that underscores the significance of keeping our gaze fixed on Jesus in all aspects of life. Ryle asserts that the key to a robust, dynamic, and practical Christianity is to continually look to Jesus. He posits that authentic Christianity isn’t just a religion for Sundays, but a faith that can thrive in every situation and environment, except sin. It’s a faith that one can carry everywhere and never need to abandon.

Ryle highlights that the illustrious group of Apostles, the admirable army of martyrs, and the saints who have left their mark on humanity throughout ages and across lands, all share one common characteristic - they were all “Looking unto Jesus”.
