In the past God spoke to our forefathers 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 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.
Here’s what jumps out at me from this text:
- To Yeshua belongs everything. Echoes the gospels when Yeshua says, “All power in heaven & earth have been given unto me.”
- The universe was made through Yeshua.
- Yeshua is the exact representation of God.
- Yeshua was not a created being, but has always existed.
- Yeshua is God’s glory.
- Yeshua sustains all. I take this to mean life, seasons, humanity, even natural laws.
- Yeshua provides purification for sins.
- Yeshua is at the right hand of God.
- Yeshua exists in the heavenlies.
- Yeshua is divine.
- Yeshua is God’s own son.
