Scripture: Hebrews 1: 1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 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.
3 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.
Observation: One of he very first things revealed about God in the first chapter of the Bible is hat He speaks. God is a speaker. He talks. He has spoken to us in many ways, but the best was His speaking through His Son Jesus. In chapter 1 of John, Jesus is revealed as the Word that became flesh. Jesus is God’s finest and clearest message.
Application: My desire to know God can be seen in how committed I am to know Jesus. To the best of my ability, I must become a “Jesus expert.” Jesus said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father.” Jesus claimed to only speak the words the Father gave him to say. The works he did were the Father’s works. Jesus is the “exact representation” of the Father.
Prayer: Lord, may I come to better know the Father as I come to know you; and may others better come to know you as they come to know me. Amen.
