Jesus, Agent of God's Creation

God Created the World

God Created Plants and Animals

Hebrews 1:1-6 The Message

1 1-3 Going through a long line of prophets, God has been addressing our ancestors in different ways for centuries. Recently he spoke to us directly through his Son. By his Son, God created the world in the beginning, and it will all belong to the Son at the end. This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God’s nature. He holds everything together by what he says—powerful words!

The Son Is Higher than Angels

3-6 After he finished the sacrifice for sins, the Son took his honored place high in the heavens right alongside God, far higher than any angel in rank and rule. Did God ever say to an angel, “You’re my Son; today I celebrate you” or “I’m his Father, he’s my Son”? When he presents his honored Son to the world, he says, “All angels must worship him.”

For Reflection

Up until the Christ event, God guided God's people as an identifiable group. For the most part, God corrected and blessed Israel. In turn, in difficult times the chosen people turned to God. When times were good, they forgot their history.  

No longer treated corporately, now God writes on the hearts of each human being. Christ is the sign of God's abiding love and the archetypical form of the human God wills us to become.

Pray

Pray so that you will worship God and follow Christ.
