Hebrews 12:2
"Looking unto Jesus the Author and Finisher of our Faith..."
Christ is the Author, the Divine Writer by His Holy Spirit, of eternal salvation for His chosen sinners. He is the Living, Breathing Scripture; the Word of God Incarnate, "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)
He is the Finisher of the work of which He wrote. He was obedient to every law, earning righteousness for all those ordained to believe before time began, "For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth." (Romans 10:4) He wrote the law and fulfilled the law as He promised, "For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matthew 5:18)
He is the Author of the Word, He is the Word. He not only wrote the Scripture by His Holy Spirit, but He performed all that was written of Him. All the work of salvation that was ordained in eternity was accomplished in time, "And He said unto them, These are the Words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning Me." (Luke 24:44)
He is the Blueprint of Salvation, the Word of God, He is the Laborer, the Servant Who finished ALL the work. He is that Faith planted in the heart of His chosen sinners, "Now Faith is the Substance of things hoped for, the Evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1)
When we speak of Christ as He is revealed in Scripture, as our ALL, when we speak the Word by the Holy Spirit, it is the evidence that we have Christ, that we have Faith!
Christ Jesus the LORD, the Author, the Finisher, the Word of God! Our Faith!
