Hebrews 1:1-4

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.

A. Heir

v.2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things.

Colossians 1:16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him.

C. God

2 Corinthians 4:4 in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

John 14:9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

1 John 1:1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.

D. Sustainer

v.3 upholds all things by the word of His power.

Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together

E. Glorious One

Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us?

v.3 When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, ‎4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they. ‎
