What does the Bible say about the apostle of our profession?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible refers to Jesus as the apostle of our profession, emphasizing His role as the sent one of God for our salvation.

In Hebrews 3:1, Jesus is uniquely identified as the 'Apostle of our profession,' a title that emphasizes His divine mission as the one sent by God to save His people. This is the only time the word 'apostle' is capitalized in the New Testament, highlighting the significance of Christ's singular role as the sent one from the Father. Unlike the twelve apostles who were taught directly by Him, Jesus' apostleship stems from His direct divine commission to fulfill the will of God, which is to provide salvation to the elect. This underscores a key aspect of sovereign grace theology: that salvation is fully accomplished through Christ's work as appointed by the Father.
