The greatness of the Son. The greatness of Jesus. That is what is going through my mind at this moment.

In my reading through the NT, I started Hebrews 1 this morning. So first, let me stop here. Please drop everything (okay so maybe not your cup of coffee or glass of pop or whatever else you may have in your hand) and open your Bible to Hebrews 1: 1-4. I know. I could link it to this devo so you can read it that way, but sometimes there is nothing like the feel of a Bible in my hand, opening it and reading it. It will take you all of about 2 minutes to read that passage slowly.

Okay…now that you have done that, let’s break those verses down.

• God speaks to us through His Son. Prophets and word-of-mouth can’t hold a candle to the impact of Jesus. His Word is the only and last word.
• God promised an inheritance through Jesus.
• They (Father and Son) created the world together. “Let us make man in our image” we are told in Gen. 1:26.
• Jesus is the exact representation of God, the Father.
• Jesus cleansed us from our sin (the cross) and is now seated at the right hand of the Father.
• No angel comes close to Jesus. (Sort of pushes aside our worship of angels don’t you think?).

Only Jesus.

Only Jesus can do what Jesus has done. Only Jesus could do what was needed for us to be cleansed. Only Jesus receives the highest praise and the honor we are to give.

Only Jesus.

“Father, may my worship and trust be placed in Jesus. He alone is the exact representation of You. He is You in the flesh and totally worthy of my adoration and worship.”
