We Have it All

DEVOTION HEBREWS WE HAVE IT ALL Heb 1:1-3 1:1 In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 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. NIV It surely is true that God used many men to speak for him to his people. Some people heard and pay attention to this men, living to please God. Some people did not listen to them, nor did they live to please God. But even through the days of living prophets has somewhat gone away, God still speaks to his people. Jesus spoke for God, in fact Jesus was God incarnate, the exact representation of his being. Do we need any more proof that Jesus is God? Yes he is the Son of God the Father, but they are the same. Who was it that walked with Adam in the cool of the day? Yet Jesus is no longer here on earth because he returned to the right hand of the Majesty in heaven, so who speaks for God now? All those men of old, and Jesus spoke for God, and somehow God was able to inspire men to record all that was said, well at least all that was important to be recorded for all of us to be able to hear today what they said. So those men and Jesus are still speaking to us today. But we also have the Spirit who speaks directly to us as well. It would seem we have enough words to listen to in order to know exactly how we should be living in order to please God. It also appears we have enough words to know exactly all we need to know about God, his appearance, his nature and his power. There is no reason to listen to anything else than his all these words. They are what sustain all things. That in itself is an awesome thought. Jesus sustains all things. He not only sustains the earth and all that is it in, but he sustains us. He has provided a means for our purification from the sin within us. He has done it all. He created all things, He showed us what he looks like, he sustains us, he purifies us and he has declared us join heirs with him in all that he has waiting for us in a place he has prepared for us in the presence of the Majesty in heaven. What else do we need?
