The Superiority of Jesus Christ. Hebrews chapter one.

Although Hebrews was written to Jewish believers in Jesus Christ. (author unknown possibly Paul, Luke, Barnabas, Apollos?) whoever it was this book is relevant not only to Jews and early believers in Christ it is thoroughly up to date. Hebrews was written to those Jews who may of been considering returning to Judaism perhaps because of their lack of understanding of who Christ was. Hebrews was written to reveal Jesus true identity as God. It keeps todays believer Jew or gentile rightly focussed on Jesus and His ongoing ministry for His church 1:3.

As wonderful as were the many ways God spoke in time past, now God has not only spoken but revealed His own self through His Son. Jesus is the express image of who God is which is why every word He spoke and every thing he did, he did exactly as God His Father would of done Jesus did not do anything say anything His Father was not saying! Jesus did not only speak the word of God He is the word, Jesus always was the word from before the universe which was created by Him 1:1-3.John 1:1-14. Mathew 21:33 onwards.

The first born 1:6 could refer to Christ’s incarnation, or second coming. but in the context of this chapter probably means His preeminence. We must never forget that Jesus God the Son, has no beginning or end He always was and existed long before His incarnation 1:12

Jesus as ”Lord of creation” laid out the foundation of the earth, and He created everything in the universe and the universe itself. One day this ageing heaven and earth will pass away and in its place will be a new heaven and earth a home for God and His new creations. question as Christ created and sustains the whole of creation by His Word of command. How big a part did/does the Word play in your life?

A verse to remember

The Son reflects God’s own glory, and everything about Him represents God exactly. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of His command. After He died to cleanse us from the stain of sin. He sat down in the place of honour at the right hand of the majestic God of heaven. Hebrews 1:3 N.L.T.
