Successively, fixing our eyes on Jesus means finding and anchoring hope in His promises and resting in His grace. He has promised to never leave us nor forsake us, to work all things together for our good (Romans 8:28), and to give us a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). When we cling to His promises, we find hope that transcends our circumstances and sustains us through every trial.
