Scripture:
1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son
3 He 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.
8 … of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness
Observation:
It’s always been about Jesus and it always will be about Jesus.
Jesus radiates the glory of God.
Jesus is the nature of God.
Jesus exerts the power of God.
And what’s so incredible on top of all that?
He “speaks to us”!
And what’s more?
He’s good!
He “loves righteousness”!
Application:
It’s very hard to ever contact anyone who is actually “in charge” of anything.
It’d be virtually impossible to actually contact the CEO of any company (or actually get a reply, anyway).
There are silos and ivory towers everywhere segmenting people from decision makers and leaders.
Yet, the One who over everyone, the One who “upholds the universe” I have access to.
God is a personal God.
He didn’t need to be. But He is.
Do I appreciate that everyday?
Or do I appreciate that only when I “need” Him? As if that’s not everyday.
And even better, God is a good God.
He didn’t need to be. But He is.
Do I appreciate that everyday?
Prayer:
Father, I should not let a minute go by when I do not honor for “the exact imprint of Your nature”.
And I am so grateful that You “love righteousness”.
Forgive me when I’m neglectful in this.
I know you are forever.
Thank you.
In Jesus name
Amen
