Anchored: A Letter to the Hebrews

Hebrews 1:1-4

"1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 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. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs."

Much time has passed since God began continually and creatively communicating who He is. The Hebrew prophets heard from him and shared what they learned with the fathers of the Jewish people. But in this period of history, we benefit directly from learning about Him through His Son. The Heavenly Father predetermined that His Son was the chosen One to assume the position of ultimate authority, rightful possessor of all that the Father is and all that he has.For it was through Christ His Son that the world came into being. His Son is the complete reality of the Father. He shines out from invisible perfection, a perfect visual of God. And God, the great author of the human story, 
so placed His trademark on humanity. 
He pressed into man exactly who He is. 
You see Him in Christ. 
Then, Christ marked humanity as his own. 
Oh how desperately we needed to have Him reclaim what we were meant for! How we need Him to take our distorted view of Him and bring God back into focus! How we need Him to take our contorted minds and hearts and restore them to His glory. 
He has! He does!
Jesus was wrung out for us. Ridding God's creation of contamination, after He accomplished all that needed to be done, He claimed His rightful place beside His Father. He took His seat as the extension of God's strength ever reaching, ever drawing His people. He remains the ever present help as men continue to learn and live in what He has secured. 
Superior in the Heavens, superior over all- Jesus the Christ; the Son of God.
By Him
Through Him

For Him

this is now our reality! 

By Him 
Through Him

For Him

this is now our weighty, immovable hook

that sinks into the flesh of Deity

and ties us firmly to our destiny with Him.

Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
