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. Heb.
1.3
How succinctly this verse expresses the wonder of salvation,
and Christ’s deity.
Jesus is God. He came to earth and lived a sinless life.
God’s radiance shone forth from Him. He encapsulated the perfection of God’s
human creation – a living, feeling being who lived in the fullness of truth and
absence of sin.
He spoke the word of God boldly and lovingly. He was the
Word of God. He provides purification from sin for all who will receive Him.
Having done this by His sovereign and unique sacrifice, He entered the heavenly
realm, taking His rightful place at the right hand of the Majesty. We are
reminded that, in this exalted place, He constantly intercedes for us (Rom.
8.34; Heb. 7.25).
This is amazing! God’s love through Christ overwhelms. Jesus
came to earth, lived a Godly, sin-free life, gave His perfect life in exchange
for all of humanity’s sin-stained existence, and takes it further by heavenly
intercession to ensure the salvation of the lost. How precious we must all be
that He would do this for us!
Lord God,
Your love overwhelms
me. Your Word is full of references such as this which constantly remind me of
Your love and goodness. Yet I don’t think I fully comprehend the enormity of this
love.
That Jesus is
interceding for me right now is incredible. Let this knowledge soak deep into
my being. May I know, truly know, this love You have for me. Let me live fully
in it. I would want to please You with all of my being, yet I know I let You
down. Help me, please, in this. As well as forgiveness, I ask that You lead me
forward in Your ways. Draw me closer to You. Fill me with Your Spirit. Let me
live more and more in You with each passing day.
I ask this in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
