The Sunday morning sermon was"Jesus--the Greatest Revelation" from Hebrews 1:1-3a. We looked at the reality that God had spoken in the past, through the prophets, calling his people to repentance and to faith in the coming Messiah. The Old Testament points to Christ and his reign.
The author's focus shifts from God speaking in the past to His speaking now through Jesus. The revelation of God through the person and work of Jesus is greater than previous revelation, because it is the full revelation of God. To have seen Jesus is to see the Father. Christ is the appointed heir of all things, the Creator of the universe, the radiance of God's glory, the exact representation of his being, and the sustainer of all things by his powerful word. Because the eternal Son of God has come into the world, God commands all men everywhere to repent and believe.
Christ has been exalted to the highest place and given a name above every name. Let us live in such a way that we honor that name. May God be glorified through Christ Jesus our Lord.
