Worthy is the Lamb!

I recently was studying in Hebrews chapters one and two. Chapter one gives a wonderful verbal picture of the exalted Son of God. I mean the description of Jesus in Hebrews one is intense. Read this out loud and listen to it....

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 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. 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,
(Heb 1:1-3)

I simply think that it beautiful! Jesus is the Son of God, the very agent of creation, Everything owes its existence to Christ both its creation and continuation. Christ is the radiance of the glory of God, that aspect, or part of God's glory we get to see, we see it in Christ. He is the exact imprint of God's nature. Jesus is God!

And then Hebrews chapter two begins like this..

Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. (Heb 2:1)

I hear in this verse an admonition to meditate on the exalted nature of Christ, to dwell upon the reality of Jesus being God, to embrace all of the glory of God in Christ Jesus. So I decided I needed to write at least once a week in a journal (or a blog) about the exalted nature of Christ, make a written record of paying much closer attention to what I have heard.
