The Supremacy of God's Son
Hebrews 1:1-4
1Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2but 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. 3He 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, 4having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
I am blown away by the imagery and the honest truth of Jesus' glory. I mean the sheer awesomeness of "after making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high"!! Like yeah the under-description of eternity...
And how powerful do you have to be to "become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs." Seriously? Ummm... I personally have no problem fearing the Lord, not saying I dont do more than my share of screwing up and living selfishly, but I dont ever doubt His ability to *poof* me anytime He wants to. But wait He doesnt so why do I ever doubt His love... hmmmmm
But wow God is beautiful and worthy of ALL OF OUR PRAISE AND THANKS AND LOVE AND ENERGY. My life is so meaningful and successful if I just reflect and enjoy that fact alone.
Just some thoughts...
