The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and
majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him today and what came to my heart and mind in Hebrews 1:2a,
"… in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son…"
This chapter is all about Jesus Christ. Indeed the entire letter is
all about Jesus Christ. If the book had been named after its content
(like the book we call Acts) instead of being named after the
recipients of the letter, we might be calling it the book of Jesus
Christ.
This is just a tremendous book to me. It speaks so much of the person
and the work of Jesus Christ. This morning I'm looking at the above
snippet from 1:2 and thinking of the wonderful act of love God has
visited on mankind with his giving us his Son. Our God is a
communicator. He speaks to us. This book begins with this observation
and quickly moves to the point that Jesus Christ is his supreme
channel of communication to us.
And what does God have to say to us through him? "For God did not send
his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him." John 3:17.
Just how wonderful is that?
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
what moved you about him from your Bible reading today. I'd love to
hear from you!
If you have someone you would like to receive these ruminations, send
