The Author And Finisher Of Our Faith!
Introduction: The road between the authoring and finishing of our faith was a long one. Several things had to be accomplished and a few landmarks had to be passed to complete the journey.
Hebrews Chapter 12 Verse 2:
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of god.
- He had to come to earth and be born as one of us.
- He had to live a perfect life in the face of all opposition.
- He had to die as the sin sacrifice for the whole world.
- He had to be raised from the dead and sit at God's right hand in heaven.
- He never lost sight of the joy that was set before him.
- He endured the cross and all its suffering.
- He despises the shame of sin and will still judge those who do not allow him to forgive them of it.
