"Jesus is the founder and perfecter of our faith," Hebrews 12:2.
The ancients. Abel. Enoch. Noah. Abraham. Sarah. Isaac. Jacob. Joseph. (Amram and Jochebed.) Moses. Israelites. Rahab. Gideon. Barak. Samson. Jephthah. David. Samuel. And countless others; together form an immense cloud of witnesses. Their commonality: God's commendation for their faith. Trust. Just so, we lock our eyes on Jesus. He endured the shame of the cross. So we endure the struggle ahead. Having endured, he sits beside God. Having endured, we shall sit there with him. We understand. By faith.
Meeting with a brother or sister today we share the hope of our faith, living in Christ. And together we give thanks to Christ for designing and consummating our faith.
