I. God Speaks
A. In the past (God to prophets, to patriarchs, then to people)
1. In fragments
In
2. In different forms
3. through prophets
4. to people
B. In the present (God, through is Son, directly to people)
1. in totality- (last days)
2. to us (directly, no human mediator)
3. through a Son (no “his” qualifier. Author indicating difference that God is now speaking through someone in a much higher position that a prophet could ever hope to be. Before, God spoke through a prophet, but now, he is going to speak through a Son!) Now, just look at how special this “Son” is. It’s no ordinary “Son.”
a. heir- All that was created, it was created for Him
b. eternal- Oh, and by the way, He was the one that created it to begin with
c. God Himself- He’s a perfect dye “stamp” of God. He IS radiance, not reflection. Radiance is the source, reflection is just a copy of the original
d. Sustainer- Not only did He create it, but He alone keeps it going without effort. Simply speaking one word (rhema, NOT logos). That’s power!
e. Settle sin-He served as priest by settling the sin issue with man. What is is word? It is finished!
f. finished all that needs to be done- To show that it was finished, he did what no priest could ever do. He sat down.
g. higher than angels- The angels that you revere so much…well, he’s well above them!
