Do you long to look?

“But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres.…” (James 1:25)

 

The one who looks and quickly turns away? The one who looks and quickly forgets? The one who “looks” and who “perseveres” in looking.

 

Look, as the “angels long to look” with wonder into the things which Jesus is doing on earth (1 Peter 1:12). It all sovereignly unfolds before them with increasing glory. 

 

Look, as the disciples “stooped to look” with longing into the empty tomb (Luke 24:12; John 20:5, 11). The significance of the emptiness slowly began to dawn upon their hearts and minds.

 

The perfect law, the word of truth, the Word of God. Do you long to look? Do you look with longing?
