SCRIPTURE READING:
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.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The LORD JESUS CHRIST exactly represents Who God is.
Dear Father, It is amazing to conceive that Your Son is the Exact Representation of His (Your) Being. I rejoice that this name ties back to His being the “Image of the Invisible God” in Colossians 1:15. I marvel that Your Son’s words exactly represent Your words to mankind; His righteousness exactly rep-resents Your righteousness; His power exactly represents Your power; His majesty exactly represents Your majesty; His love exactly represents Your love; His grace exactly represents Your grace; His servant heart exactly represents Your servant heart; His promises exactly rep-resent Your promises; His prayers exactly represent Your prayers; His rule and judgment exactly represent Your rule and judgment; His forgive-ness exactly represents Your forgiveness; and on and on. Hallelujah! I KNOW YOU THROUGH YOUR SON, and I praise Your Son and You. I pray You will give me, my family members and all believers a devout passion to know all there is to know about the Exact Representation of His Being, and, thus, to know You more and more. I pray these things in His superior name. Amen.
