TOPIC: God Speaks Through His Son
READ: Hebrews 1:1-3 (NKJV)
- God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
- has in these last days spoken to us by [His] Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
- who being the brightness of [His] glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
THE MESSAGE:
The passage today summarises the book of Hebrews. God had spoken to humankind in many ways, but now he speaks to us through Jesus Christ. In the Old Testament, God spoke to the fathers through diverse means. Abram had a vision (Genesis 15:1); Jacob had dreams (Genesis 28:12;31:11); Ezekiel had visions (Ezekiel 1:1;8:3-4), but now, God has chosen to speak to us through His Son. The author of Hebrews clearly establishes the divinity of Jesus Christ: He is the exact likeness, expression, and image of God.
Jesus’ superiority over all else is summarised in his symbolic position-seated at the right hand of God the Father. Everything in this epistle supports this same basic theme: Christ is above all other things! Beloved, we live in a time where people constantly seek to reject the Lordship and Sovereignty of Jesus. But God has spoken to us through His life, ministry, death, and resurrection. This means we have to pay attention to the message he has for us-the message of salvation.
We can also trust that his message is authentic because he is the perfect representative of God. Therefore, the only accurate revelation of God is found in Christ.
PRAYER: Lord, I believe you have spoken through Jesus Christ, help me to listen and obey your will day by day, Amen!
