The Supremacy of God's Son
1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, |
God tells us about Jesus
God speaks to everyone, all through time: He spoke to our ancestors and He speaks to us today.
What God really wants to tell us about in this passage is Jesus! Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory – He’s just like his father! Jesus is heir of all things – everything the Father has belongs to Jesus. God made the universe through Jesus. Jesus sustains all things – He keeps everything going by what He says! Jesus provided purification from sin – He gets the sin out of us! Jesus sits down at the right hand of God because it’s job done: He has done everything the Father has sent Him to do!
This makes us feel really happy because through Jesus we are forgiven for everything!
God hasn’t kept who Jesus is and what He has done a secret: He has told us and wants us to tell others all about Him.
