Professing Jesus: The Apostle of Our Confession (Hebrews 3:1)

In the Reformed tradition, profession of faith is when a covenant child declares, “This faith is my faith.” It’s more than a one-time event because it’s a lifelong calling to daily confess Christ in both struggles and joys. Hebrews points us to Jesus as both Apostle and High Priest. He is the one sent by the Father to confirm God’s promises. He is the High Priest as our mediator who secures God’s promises. Profession of faith is not only about standing before a congregation but about holding fast to Christ every day, trusting in our faithful Redeemer who is our shield and defender.
