Good Morning!
Hebrews 1:1-4 English
Standard Version (ESV)
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, whom he appointed the
heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 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. After making purification
for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become
as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent
than theirs.
This morning I want to give
thanks to God for Jesus, my Savior and my Lord.
The letter begins with the
statement that God has always been active in the lives of the people of the
Hebrew nation. God was always speaking to the people, attempting to gather His people
to Himself. He has never stopped. He still speaks to His people today. But at the proper time, God shed His mantle of
glory to become flesh and dwell among us.
He faced the same physical issues we face … the need for food; the need
for clothing; the need for a place to lay His head at night. If He stubbed His toe, He hurt. At the end of each day, He was weary. He was flesh … and yet, He was also God. He could discern a person’s need … and
address it successfully. He knew the
hearts of those who opposed Him. He
could heal a person from miles and miles away.
He could raise a person from the dead.
Jesus was both God and man.
One day … now many years
ago … Jesus spoke to my life. He
revealed my need to repent … turn away from my disobedience … and seek God with
all my heart. He revealed that He had
paid the full price for my sin. He
revealed to me that I could become a child of God by trusting in His completed
work on Calvary. When I took Him at His
word, He changed my life focus. How
could I be anything but thankful?
Tomorrow, as we gather
together to give thanks, let us all remember that God’s greatest blessing to all
the world is His only begotten Son … our Lord, Christ Jesus.
God bless you all this
good, good day. If you are traveling, I pray
that God will go with you and before you, protecting you along the way. And, if you are staying at home, I pray God
will give you much joy throughout the day.
Agape’
