Hebrews 1 ESV

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 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. 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, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”? And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his ministers a flame of fire.” But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.” And, “You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end.” And to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet”? Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation?

The Book of Hebrews is about the Character and Nature of Jesus

If you want to know more about who Jesus is then the book of Hebrews will be your best friend

Let’s read the key verse ——>

Hebrews 1:1–3 ESV

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 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. 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,

In the Old Testament God spoke through the Prophets

We learned about the nature of God through the prophets and specific ways he revealed Himself

But then it says that, in these days he has spoken through His Son

(Highlighting The Beginning of Verse 3)

Radiant: sending out light; shining or glowing brightly.

In the Same way that the beam of light tells you what the light is and where it is coming from

Jesus is God revealing himself through Human form

(Continue reading Verse 3)

What we need to understand about Jesus is that He is God

Jesus is God

You see some people have confusion of who Jesus actually is. Some people say that when God refers to Him as a Son maybe He is like an angel? No because this is what God’s word says:

Hebrews 1:4–6 ESV

having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”? And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.”

Has anyone ever heard of the Trinity?

God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit

Are they all God?

Are they all their own God?

(Show Picture)

The Book of Hebrews wants to focus on the Son of God and how he shows us the character of God

Jesus Created The World

Everything we see in Genesis was done through Jesus.

Because Jesus is the only person of the three to take on Bodily form, Many people believe that it is refrencing Jesus in the Garden

He has been there from the beginning.

John 1:3 ESV

All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Colossians 1:16 ESV

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.

Because he created, He was not created

Jesus Holds Everything Together

Hebrews 1:3 ESV

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,

The reason that the universe keeps working is because he holds it together

Colossians 1:17 ESV

And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

Romans 11:36 ESV

For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be glory forever. Amen.

If we do not know about Jesus, why would we follow Him?

don’t you want to know about the one you are entrusting your life too
