Scripture
Hebrews 1:3
The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.
Observation
Jesus is God’s Son. God sent him to earth to be with us. God’s Son walked with people on earth. Jesus was not just a man, He was God. We could see God’s character and his glory through Jesus. He came to earth so that we could meet God “in the flesh” and after he died on the cross for our sins, he went back to heaven to sit in a place of honor. Jesus was not just a good man or an angel. He was above all. He is God’s son.
Application
Too many times, I forget who Jesus is. How amazing is it that God son actually walked this earth?! We are able to understand God’s character a little bit better because the early believers actually got to meet and to eat with and to walk with God’s son. I should be thankful that Jesus came to earth. Because Jesus walked among men and died for us, I can know God and he can know me. I should respect and honor Jesus because he is not just a good teacher. He is the Son of God, our representation of God on earth.
Prayer
God, thank you for sending your Son to this earth. Thank you for cleansing us from our sins so that we can have a relationship with you. Thank you for being a personable God, a God that actually lived among us. I am sorry for not elevating Jesus to the level of God at times. Thank you for your forgiveness. In the Son’s name, Amen.
