And Jesus said, [You say to Me], If You can do anything? [Why,] all things can be (are possible) to him who believes! Mark 9:23
Our glorious hope isn't that we have to believe for anything on our own. Our glorious hope is that Jesus has to believe. My whole life I heard it preached that I had to first believe, or first have faith, but thank God we have not been given such a great burden. Our Father wanted so much more for us, so He gave us Jesus. He gave us Jesus to Author and Finish our faith and now all things are possible for us because Jesus believes. Jesus isn’t up in Heaven fretting about anything and He is the One causing us to have faith.
Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
Jesus is the Word of God, He is God in the flesh, and He fully believes all of the Truth that has set us free. Jesus is our source for faith. Jesus alone is our ability to believe. So all things are possible for us because Jesus believes. All things are possible for our Father Who causes us to believe.
