READING: Hebrews 1:1-6
For to which of the angels did God ever say,
“You are my son; today I have become your Father”?
Or again,
“I will be his Father, and he will be my Son”?
And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world he says,
“Let all God’s angels worship him.”
Hebrews 1: 5-6
Long ago, God spoke in many different ways to our fathers through the prophets (in visions, dreams, and even face to face), telling them little by little about his plans. But now in these days he has spoken to us through his Son to whom he has given everything, and through whom he made the world and everything there is. God’s Son shines out with God’s glory, and all that God’s Son is and does marks him as God. He regulates the universe by the mighty power of his command. He is the one who died to cleanse us and clear our record of all sin, and then sat down in highest honor beside the great God of heaven. Thus he became far greater than the angels, as proved by the fact that his name “Son of God,” which was passed on to him by his Father, is far greater than the names and titles of the angels. For God never said to any angel, “You are my Son, and today I have given you the honor that goes with that name.” But God said it about Jesus. Another time he said, “I am his Father and he is my Son.” And still another time --- when his first born Son came to earth--- God said, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
God certainly planned for a long time for His Son to come and save us. Nothing but the best did He give for us. He brought His Son to Earth to be born and live with us and later die for us a terribly painful death, also for us. It should humble us to realize the depth to which our God reached into the universe and gathered all the good and wonderful only He could to create His Son. From this passage, it is easy to see that God was very proud of His Son, as any Father would be. God commands that the angels of God are to worship him. We can do no less!
Let us pray together: Father, thank you for the gift you gave us, Your Son. You loved Him so much, and You love us so much that you sent him to live with us. Even greater, you knew His future and yet You sent your beloved Son to earth to live among your people. Thank you for loving us and caring for us, just as you did your Son, Jesus.
