& PRAYER FOR THE DAY
In these last days, he has spoken
to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things … — Hebrews
1:2.
The fact is, that is exactly what we find here in Hebrews 1; a
letter of introduction and recommendation of Jesus Christ, giving us His
“credentials,” and why He should be so important to us. Jesus is “a better
hope” as Hebrews 7:19 tells us; “For the law made nothing perfect, but the
bringing in of a better hope did, by which we draw nigh unto God”. Yes! Jesus
is better than the old priests and sacrifices; He’s better than the angels. The
whole book is about the superiority of Christ. And this passage may be the best
one in the book; it’s one of my personal favorites. It lays out the
“credentials” of Jesus so clearly and powerfully; and shows us how He is “The
Incomparable Christ.”
This truth brings an important fact that God works and wants to
speak to us. Jesus' position as divine, His role as Creator, and His work in
reconciling God and man is the climactic revelation of God in Christ,
surpassing every way that God spoke and worked before Christ came. Halleluiah!
