Hebrews Chapter 1

Verse Annotation

Verse 1- God speaks to us directly through Jesus 

Verse 7-9 - Jesus has been given more power than the angels, a name above every other name, sitting at the right hand of God, ruling with a scepter of righteousness. 

Verse 12 - Jesus is always the same, unaffected by time, consistent in character, ruling in eternity. 

Verse 14 - Jesus is not simply a ministering spirit but the only begotten Son of God, who is our only path to salvation.

Reflection

We worship the Son of God, not a mere ministering spirit, not a mere prophet, not a mere Angel, but the one who sits at the right Hand of God, ruling his Kingdom with the scepter of righteousness. Our confidence as Christians should come from this knowledge. Our God is sovereign, ruling in eternity, unaffected by time. He knows everything we go through, and He understands every pain we go through

As much as it seems lucrative to rely on our own strength and workmanship, let us rely on Jesus, who rules in eternity, has sovereign power over everything we go through. On our own strength we cannot and do not have the ability to please God, but through the Grace and Mercy of God we are able to come to Him through faith in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; a faith that goes beyond salvation, one that affects all areas of our lives, not just our walk with Him, but our careers, families, professions and daily life. 

Prayer

Jesus thank you for sacrificing yourself on the cross and paying my debts. Help me to walk in awareness of your sovereign power, that is higher than the angels. Jesus help me to put my trust and faith in you; not just faith for my salvation but faith that you are my provider, healer and redeemer ever present in every area and season of my life

In Jesus name I pray, Amen
