When Newton focused on the person of Christ, he centered on the roles of Christ as Shepherd, Husband, Friend, Prophet, Priest, and King. But when Newton focused on his faith in Christ, he focused on three realities: Christ’s death, resurrection, and ongoing reign. We look to Christ as the Savior who hung on the cross for our sins; we look to Christ who was raised victoriously on Easter; and we look to Christ in his eternal sovereign reign now in heaven.
