"There are two kinds of courage: the courage of moment, which requires no previous thought, and a “planned” courage, which sees the difficulty ahead and steadfastly marches towards it. Jesus had this kind of courage; He could see the cross in the horizon, but still set His face like a flint."
-DAVID GUZIK, Bible commentator
"There was no flint in the heart of Jesus, but there was much in His face. He was as resolute as He was submissive."
-CHARLES H. SPURGEON, preacher
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
