Theodore Monod (1836-1912) was a French clergyman. He studied law in the 1850s in Paris, before coming to the United States to prepare for the ministry. He graduated from the Western Theological Seminary at Allegheny, Pennsylvania in 1860. For three years, he labored among the French Canadians and became minister with the Second Presbyterian Church at Kankakee, Illinois. Returning to Paris in 1864, he succeeded to his father’s pastorate, preaching there until 1875. During the next three years he traveled as agent of the “Mission interieure,” and in 1878 he accepted a call from a congregation in Paris. In addition to his preaching, Monod wrote hymns and books.

THIS IS A CHRISTIAN CLASSIC BOOKLET

The TEXT:
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. (Hebrews 12:2)

Looking Unto Jesus In the Scriptures--to learn there what He is, what He has done, what He gives, what He desires; to find in His character our pattern, in His teachings our instruction, in His precepts our law, in His promises our support, in His person and in His work a full satisfaction provided for every need of our souls.

Looking Unto Jesus Crucified--to find in His shed blood our ransom, our pardon, our peace.

Looking Unto Jesus Risen--to find in Him the righteousness which alone makes us righteous, and permits us, all unworthy as we are, to draw near with boldness, in His Name, to Him who is His Father and our Father, His God and ours.

Looking Unto Jesus Glorified--to find in Him our Heavenly Advocate completing by His intercession the work inspired by His loving-kindness for our salvation (1 John 2:1). Who even now is appearing for us before the face of God (Heb. 9:24), the kingly Priest, the spotless Victim, continually bearing the iniquity of our holy things (Ex. 28:38).
