God’s unique Son

Hebrews 1:1-4 (JDV)

Hebrews 1:1 Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at numerous times and in numerous ways.
Hebrews 1:2 During these last days, he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things and through whom he made the ages.
Hebrews 1:3 The Son radiates God’s glory and expresses his character and reality exactly, supporting all things by his powerful word. After making purification for failures, he took a seated position at the right hand of the Majesty upward.
Hebrews 1:4 He became so far better than the agents, just as the name he inherited is more valuable than theirs.

God’s unique Son

Jesus is the world’s Savior, but he is also the unique Son of God.

Because he is God’s sinless Son, he was able to make purification for our failures by the sacrifice of his life on the cross.

Because he is God’s revealing Son, he has spoken God’s words to us. Because of him, we know what God wants from us.

Because he is God’s royal Son, he radiates God’s glory and expresses his character and reality exactly. Because of him, we know what God is like.

Because he is God’s covenant Son, he has been appointed heir of all things, and has inherited a name more valuable than the names of the agent (angels).
