Bible Note: Hello zerotheory Hebrews 1:3a (ESV) He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. Here we have the uniqueness of who Jesus is. Nobody has the exact imprint of God's nature, yet He does. The writer of Hebrews speaks of the relationship of God and Jesus. Hebrews 1:5 (ESV) For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? But then the writer brings the two together as one. Hebrews 1:8-12 (ESV) But of the Son he says, "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever, the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom. [9] You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness beyond your companions." [10] And, "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; [11] they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, [12] like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end." Jesus, the Son, is identified with God and as God. There is no mistaking the correlation. Steve |
