1. Jesus is the Object; and Jesus †as Jesus, as he is our Saviour, as he hath negotiated, or shall yet negotiate in the great business of our salvation. 2. Looking unto, is the act; but how? it is such a Look as includes all these acts, knowing, considering, desiring, hoping, believing, loving, joying, enjoying of Jesus, and conforming to Jesus. It is such a look as stirs up affections in the heart, and the effects thereof in our life; it is such a look as leaves a quickening and enlivening upon the spirit; it is such a look as works us into a warm affection, raised resolution, an holy and upright conversation. Briefly, it is an inward, experimental Looking unto Jesus.
