Jordan - Hebrews 3

"For we have become partners in Christ, if only we hold our first confidence firm to the end." (v 14)

What is our first confidence?  Notes in the margin of the Lutheran Study Bible tie it to our belief in the promises of God.  As a dad of two young boys, I think that is a little far fetched.  Our first confidence, is probably our caregivers from birth.  God knows us from the womb, thats true, but do we know Him?  Does James, at 9 months, have confidence in the promises of God?  Perhaps, he does, in some way.  Perhaps the innocent confidence in Erin and me is James's confidence in life and "the builder of all things" (v 4).
