Today's gospel installment: 02/17/2019 Hebrews 1 vs 1 to 4-The Son the Final of God's speech
1. Jesus Christ is the Son by whom and in whom God has made His final speech.
2. The appearance of Christ means the complete and final revelation of what God intended to communicate to men about Himself and salvation.
3. The cannon of God's speech is complete and it is all found in Christ.
4. The men and women who come and claim that God told them stuff that is not in the cannon of Christ are making up stuff. They are speaking from their own lying visions. God deals with them and their followers in Jeremiah 14.
5. Christ is eminently qualified to be Savior because of His polished resume/Curriculum vitae. He is the Son-who is heir of all things that He created-upholds all things by the word of His power. He -the Son is the brightness of the glory of God and is the exact image of His person. That tells you that salvation was accomplished by One who is God.
6. And a salvation that was accomplished by one who is of such dignity and honor cannot be lost. It is complete and perfect-hence the Son after He had finished the purification of sins-sat down.
7. Jesus did not sit down because He had a back or was tired. No, He sat down because as the faithful and able High Priest had made an end to the purification of sin. The gospel then is a declaration of the truth that Christ is seated because He paid for all the sins of His people. There is nothing to add to that-but to rest-to enter into His rest by faith alone.
