Hebrews 12:2 "Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God."
The writer of Hebrews is encouraging the Christians to focus on Jesus and not grow weary in their pursuit of him. The writer claims that Jesus is "the author and perfecter of our faith."
My faith has to be rooted in and focused on Christ alone. He authored and created my faith and he has perfected it. He authored it as God and perfected it as the perfect man. My hope and eternal security lie in what Christ did and accomplished on the cross. My faith is not in my ability to do anything, but in what Christ has done for me.
Dear Jesus, help me to read more about the faith you authored and better live the faith you perfected. Amen.
