Greater Than Great

SCRIPTURE

Hebrews 1: 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

OBSERVATION

After reading something like that, all a person can say is WOW!
What a God we serve. He loved us so much He sent His son to communicate to us His great compassion. In times past it was different but at the right time His son came and revealed
‘in person’ the truth about the Father.

WOW! Who are we that Jesus should do that? After all, He is appointed heir of all things.
Listen to His credentials from Paul: He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. Col 1:15-18 WOW!

APPLICATION

If I ever had any doubt about who is in control or who should be in control, that doubt is answered by knowing who Jesus is. He has been given a name that is above every name and deserves to be in control of our universe, our world, our nation, our state and our lives.
May we truly become once again a nation UNDER GOD and a people who surrender to His will. If this happens, the 4th of July will become a true celebration.

PRAYER

Father, how great is your love for us. I can’t fathom it but I choose to accept it. You are my reason for living and I want to be pleasing to you today. Help me glorify your son’s name through my daily activities and choices. All I can say when I think of you is WOW!
