Who Is Jesus? The Author and Finisher of Our Faith
by Pastor Marie Esposito
“The Son is the dazzling radiance of god’s splendor, the exact expression of God’s true nature-His mirror image. He holds the universe together and expands it by the mighty power of His spoken words. He accomplished for us the complete cleansing of sings, and then took his seat on the highest throne at the right hand of the Majestic One.”
Hebrews 1:3
He is the Author and the Completer of our faith. -Hebrews 12:2
Faith-complete trust and confidence in something or SOMEONE. Strong. Believe.
Faith is a substance…Faith comes by hearing…
Colossians 2:15 – He is the complete fullness of deity living in human form. He is the Divine Portrait, the true likeness of the invisible God, and the firstborn of all creation And our completeness is now found in Him. We are completely filled with God as Christ’s fullness overflows within us. He is the head of every kingdom and authority in the universe~ Through our union with Him we have experienced circumcision of heart. All of the guilt and power of sin has been cut away and is now extinct because of what Christ, the Anointed One, has accomplished for us.
WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THIS JESUS?
WORSHIP HIM.

Our identity in Him and with all that His blood sacrifice won on the Cross is our DESTINY.
