Thursday Thought -- February 21, 2013


Good Morning Friends,

Have you ever wondered what God was like?  He has made it so that we can know.  Oh, not what He looks like physically, but what He is really like.  When we look at Jesus, we see exactly what God is like!

“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.  So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.  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 1:3-6)

Jesus shows God’s glory.  Jesus illustrates God’s character.  Jesus demonstrates God’s power.  Jesus deserves the worship we would give to God.  When you look at Jesus, everything about Him reflects what God is like, because He is God!

Jesus isn’t a being lower than the angels.  Jesus isn’t one of the angels.  Jesus isn’t the highest ranking angel.  Jesus is the One the angels worship!  Jesus is God!

And that’s what makes what He did so amazing.  Jesus is God, yet He provided purification for sins.  He died as a sacrifice for our sins.  He didn’t have to, He’s God.  He wanted to!

Even angels worship Him.  Even angels serve Him.  Shouldn’t we?

Take a close look at Jesus and you’ll see what God is like.  So … do toward Him what you’d do toward God … worship, serve and love Him!

His, by Grace,

Steve
