The Son

The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being sustaining all things by his powerful word.                                                        Heb. 1.3a

The Son was the reality of God on earth. He radiated God’s glory. He fully represented God in His being and He sustained everything in every word that He spoke. His word contains power, unlimited power.

God needed to become real on earth, and so He came. He came in human form and He showed us. Not only did He show us the divine presence on earth, He showed us how we should respond, how we can accept that presence and the relationship it offers us, and how we can live in right relationship with the holy and all-mighty God.

The Son was and the Son is! Indeed, the Son will ever be. All that was experienced when Jesus walked the earth can be experienced today. Christ bequeathed us the Holy Spirit, the divine spirit that is fully there for us, who will show us the way, lead us in that way, and release signs, wonders, and miracles in our presence.

Man’s earthly connection with God did not cease with the return of Christ to heaven. The radiance of God’s glory permeates us still. The representation of the being of God is as available to us now as ever it was. And we are always, every moment, sustained by His powerful word.

Almighty God,

I receive this Your Word in power. I yearn for more of Your power to be made manifest on earth. I look to the Son. I fix my eyes on Him that I might be consumed by Him. Keep me in You, Lord. Sustain me with the fullness of life – in You.               Amen.
