Good morning. Let’s take a few moments to talk about Jesus. I know, that should be our subject every day, but today let’s get a bit more personal. Please consider the powerful description of Jesus Christ found in Hebrews 1:1-4:
In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
God is continuously revealed to us through our personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This passage reminds us that Jesus is the exact representation of his being. Does that mean the physical form of Jesus is representative of God? No, this is a spiritual reality, a spiritual truth. Spiritually, Jesus exactly represents the Father, and Jesus continues the work of the Father, sustaining all things by his powerful word.
For me, one of the exciting truths revealed about Jesus in this passage is: The Son is the radiance of God’s glory. Wow! Jesus is God’s radiant glory! This same Jesus, who provided purification for sins, wants to know each of us personally and intimately. In fact, He insists on it (Matthew 7:23).
Jesus is awesome! He is wonderful, glorious, powerful, victorious, and He is in love with you. That’s right, no doubt about it, Jesus Christ is head over heals in love with you, with me, with all who will lovingly offer their lives to Him.
Please take a moment today to consider the wonder of that truth, and love well today.
