AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance and only expression of the glory of [our awesome] God [reflecting God's Shekinah glory, the Light-being, the brilliant light of the divine], and the exact representation and perfect imprint of His [Father's] essence, and upholding and maintaining and propelling all things [the entire physical and spiritual universe] by His powerful word [carrying the universe along to its predetermined goal].

Bible Note: Having thus discoursed about the divine nature, he moves to human matters to bring out the mystery of the divine plan.... He is the Son of the Father, who is one with the begetter, the creator and governor of all things, who reveals in himself the Father, and who by becoming man procured our salvation. Though most high he humbled himself, and though God, he became man. It was not that being humble he exalted himself, or being man he was made God. Rather on the one hand, as God he was always Lord of all, and on the other, as man he took to himself glory he had as God. He actually said as much in the sacred Gospels, "Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed" (John 17:5). He asked not to receive what he did not have, but for what he had to be revealed. Theodoret of Cyrus, “The Epistle to the Hebrews” |
