That was a great point. You said Jesus Christ is the author and completer of us.
 
Sometimes I will hear preachers/teachers complain about a negative issue and then at the end, kind of throw Jesus at their listeners.
 
As I spoke to people about issues and Jesus Christ, I was sometimes guilty of this approach.
 
I noticed that it usually does not work. Sometimes it does but I think more than often it does not work.
 
The reason being is that Jesus Christ is our beginning, middle and end. It is almost as if the person/people listening are missing the first 7 to 8 chapters. I realize that we live in a very fast world but like you said it is not until we recognize that Jesus Christ is our beginning, middle and end that we will be victorious.
 
When I talk to someone I have to be very cognitive of this even though we do live in a speedy society. Even more so, I have to ask God to help me understand this reassuring truth.
 
God Bless you,
