1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 

2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds; 

3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 

4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Hebrews 1:1-4

The Hebrew writer puts forth his main ideas in the first four verses. According to him Christ is unparalleled, as He shares and displays the divine nature. Christ is the ultimate messenger of God, who not only communicates God’s message to mankind but also demonstrates God’s nature through His being!

Holy God and Father, I am grateful for Your active involvement in the affairs of mankind throughout history. Thank You for inspiring godly men to communicate Your will both orally and through the written word. Above all, I thank You for sending Your Son Jesus to communicate Your will through His teaching and preaching. Jesus lived His life in such a way that He made You, Father, visible to us. By studying the nature of Jesus, I can study You! I ask for Your guidance to help me see Jesus more clearly every day and to be united with You through Him. Jesus, I also thank You for purging my sins! Holy God, please continue guiding me to study and worship You in the right way. Amen.
