THE AUTHOR AND THE FINISHER

The greatest author that there ever was is not a mortal man. You might think of Hemingway, Mark Twain, or even Shakespeare, but they are just mortal men.

In Hebrews 12:2 we see, “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.”

Jesus alone is the greatest author. The Amplified Version reads this way, “[Looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity] who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].”

Then we see in Philippians 1:6, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ [his return.”

We have someone so famous writing the pages of our life when we give our life to Jesus. As we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, we see the pages being filled up. Our story is written in blood for eternity! We are a never-ending story written by God.

So be confident that God is writing on the tablets of your heart, bringing you an expected end as it says in Jeremiah 29:11.
