God has spoken by his Son
Today's focusGod, who spoke in the past through the prophets, has now spoken by his Son, the heir of all things, the brightness of his glory, who upholds all things by his word, purged our sins and sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
Read
1God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
Reflection
In the past, God used many different ways to speak to the fathers through the prophets. But today, the message has become personal. God has "spoken unto us by his Son," who is the "express image of his person." When you look at Jesus, you are seeing the very "brightness of his glory." He is not merely a messenger; He is the "heir of all things" and the one who "made the worlds." This means the voice of God you hear in Christ is the same power that keeps the entire universe standing.
You can find deep rest in knowing that this powerful Son is also the one who "by himself purged our sins." His work was so complete that he "sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." He is "so much better than the angels," yet He uses "the word of his power" to uphold all things, including your life. Today, you are invited to listen to the Son, who holds the "more excellent name" and whose finished work brings you close to God.

If God has spoken most clearly in Jesus, how could you give more attention to Jesus' life and words this week?
Pray
Lord God, thank you that you have not stayed silent but have spoken to us by your Son. Jesus, you are the radiance of God's glory and you have purged my sins. Help me listen to you above every other voice.
