The Spoken Word

Scripture:

Hebrews 1:2-3a

“God … in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, Whom He appointed heir of all things, through Whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power.

Observation:

 God the Father has spoken to us through His Son, Jesus, the Word (John 1:1)

 God the Father assigned ownership of everything to Jesus

 God the Father made (spending time or tarrying*) the world (age, era*) through Jesus, the Word 

 Jesus is the radiance (shining brightness*) of the glory (magnificence, excellence*) of the Father

 Jesus is the exact representation (character, imprint, image bearer*) of the Father’s nature

 Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power

*definitions from Vine’s Expository Dictionary

Application:

 God has spoken to ME through His Son, Jesus.

 Jesus, the Word, IS God.

 I can know God, the Father, by knowing Jesus, His Son.



Prayer

Father, please help me to see You clearly, to know You intimately, and to reflect Your glory to those around me!
