Hebrews #5 - 1:1-4


Speaker Notes

The Collect for Christmas

O God, who makes us glad with the yearly remembrance
of the birth of thy only son, Jesus Christ:
Grant that as we joyfully receive him for our redeemer,
so may we behold him with sure confidence
when he shall come to be our judge;
who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end.  Amen.

Hebrews 1:1-4

God’s Final Word: His Son

1.1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
