ferences to ancient tunes and men like abel enoch noah and abra ham is as old as the world itself and as old as nature he is applying una old principle to the savins revelation of god in jesus christ in the general auue of faith it is not the christian alone who uvea by faith paitlxta no imaginative mystical thing which it la fanciful if not fanatical to tabc about the school child who expects a reward to be earned by bis good marks or for netted by failure exercises faith li the xpectattoii the farmer who expects a harvest and begins long months before by preparing the ground and sowing his seed is ex ercising faith the parent who an ticipates the manhood of his little son and prepares for that distant maturity by instruction and discip line is an example of walking by faith which only mtmwi and fools disparage ox dispense with hebrews 11 1 is of vital importance i understanding the new testa ment conception of faith dr kfof- fatt translates it faith means we arc confident of what we hope for convinced of what we do not see confidence and conviction are two xey words in thinking of the ning of faith the authorized version says faith is the substance of things hoped for through old documents representing business and social correpondence of the first century which have been unearthed we know now that the word transla- aubstanorf means titledeed the legal document a man receives when be buys a house or a piece of property to assure him and others that it is ids we may therefore translate vj thus faith is the ti tle deed to things hoped for faith makes us sure that our hopes will be realized but faith is more than that it is the evidence of things not seen the unseen world of spiritual things it is the reality and power of the spiritual world which rantees the triumph of those hopes which spring from gods rev elation of himself in christ and here we come into the realm of the christian faith which is based an christ s person and work the revea- ler of gods purpose and will hebrews 13 1 and 2 are the heart of this lesson the writer is exhort ing the hebrews who as we have seen in previous lessons are ortho dox jews who could be expected to know something about the elders mentioned in bob 11 1 8 to exer cise faith similar to tfcelrc with re spect to jesus christ who is the author and finisher of our faith jesus is the author of our faith it is the same word as is translated the prince of life in the acta of the apostles and an another part of hebrews the captain of our salvation he is the one who made a beginning of a new order of things in the world the oaptnin of the great army of martyra before us in chapter 11 and of the cloud of witnesses of which the writer speaks in 12 1 he came first in order of time yet like great com manders he rides in the centre of the march he la the finisher or perfecter of our faith in him our weakness is made strength his strength is perfected in our weak ness jesus htm rsgun the way he is with his followers along the way he himself is the way and he is the goal at the end of the way inseparably bound up wtth the way is the cross which jesus en dured in spite of the shame of it because of the joy which was set be fore him we cannot ignore the shame but the emphasis is upon the joy what ts the joy7 it is the same joy which god had when after crea- ating the world he looked upon it and saw that it was good and in the cross was the creative act the like of which the world has not seen before or since for here was created reconciliation between holy god ano sinful man here was made effec tive the salvation of a sinning world and the joy of the saviour in the midst of the agony of calvary was i to the joy which is in hea ten over one sinner that repent- eth the mention of calvary leads the writer to the risen and glorified christ who is set down at the right hand of the throne of god he has finished his work he has reached the goal he reigns and wlq rdgn until he puts all his enemies under his feet yea until man s last enemy shall fall and mans salvation be perfected the salvation of our world was purchased there on calvary a world which today is hastening to dee- buctlon tn spite of its inhabitants unwillingness to be destroyed is in that position becauselt has rejected this salvation ponthxued rejection and dishonour means most certain destruction but the cross of
