Meditation of the week: Psalm 91:1-16
Text: Hebrews 1:3-14
Title: Creator Jesus Christ, the brightness of God’s glory and the express image of his person
When Jesus appeared to the world in the flesh, when speaking of God the Father, he said, “ God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24).
That’s right! God is not just spirit, bur he is a Spirit. We cannot dare to see with our eyes nor touch him. However, in order for God to deliver the word of truth to the sinners, he must appear in the image of Adam.
Therefore, Jesus, who was conceived by the Spirit of God and appeared as a man who was in the beginning as the Word, and who was with God, and he was God who created the heaven and the earth with the Father as well as all things on the earth(John 1:1-3). He is the brightness of God’s glory and the express image of God’s person. In other word, Heavenly Father had to be a man who could be seen and communicate with man.
Apostle John, who had seen Jesus closely and had fellowship with him, testified of him:
” That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; 2(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)” (1 John 1:1-2).
Jesus also testified many times that He is the brightness of God’s glory and that He is the express image of His Person:
“ I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30)… “ Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?“ (John 14:8-9)….“ Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.“ (Matthew 11:28-29).
God said to King Ahaz, ” Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.” (Isaiah 7:11), ” But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD. “(Isaiah 7:12).
God said through the prophet Isaiah to ask for a sign about how Christ Jesus, God’s only begotten Son,
