JESUS RADIATES GOD’S GLORY

Hebrews 1:2 -4 NLT

And now in these final days he has spoken to us through his Son. 

God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, 

and through the Son he created the universe. 

The Son radiates God’s own glory 

and expresses the very character of God, 

and he sustains everything by the 

mighty power of his command. 

When he had cleansed us from our sins, 

he sat down in the place of honour 

at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. 

This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, 

just as the name God gave him is 

greater than their names.

Scripture tells us to pay attention and listen carefully to God’s words, to keep them before our eyes and not lose sight of them, (Proverbs 4:20-21), so I thought I’d help us do that by bringing the above verses to remind us how amazing Jesus is and what He does for us.😊

They give us great insights when we let them sink in. Just the fact that God chose to speak to us in the first place is wonderful! There was no one more precious or more important to Him than His own Son and He loved us so much He was willing to send the one dearest to His heart to rescue us.

Notice the verbs - God spoke, God promises, God created through Jesus. Jesus inherited, radiates, expresses, sustains, cleanses, sits down and is Greater!

Jesus said He never did or said anything unless He saw His Father say or do it first, (John 5:19, John 12:49) so whatever we see Jesus doing in the gospels He was reflecting what He’d already seen His Father do and say. 

Jesus radiated God’s glory, He was showing us what God is like in all the everyday things of life, bringing life where there was death, wholeness and healing for brokenness, provision for lack, healing in exchange for sickness and disease, forgiveness for our sin.

He still expresses the very character of God. He is still the same yesterday, today and forever doing those things in the life of a believer, and what a wonderful God we serve. 

Let’s praise His name today, the greater name which is truly above every other name, the name of Jesus. Amen. 😊
