Grappling with His Identity

Preacher:
Passage: Hebrews 1:1-4
Service Type:

Bible Text: Hebrews 1:1-4 | Preacher: Nathan Herrlin | Series: Jesus: Our Cornerstone | Youversion Link

 

How does the author describe the identity of God’s Son?
What is the relationship between God and Jesus in these descriptions?

 

Hebrews 1:2

“God has spoken to us by His Son”
“whom He appointed heir of all things”
“through whom He made the universe”

Hebrews 1:3

“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being”
“Sustaining all things by His powerful word”
“He provided purification for sins”
“He sat down at the right hand of the majesty in heaven”

Hebrews 1:4

“So He became as much superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is superior to theirs”

 
How do I know Jesus’ identity in Hebrews has NOT been exaggerated?

The resurrection
The martyrdom of many eye witnesses
The date Hebrews was written

 
My “next steps” this week with God:

Do I believe the claims Hebrews makes of Jesus?
If I do believe, am I in AWE & WONDER of who Jesus is?
