The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of his nature, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3
This opening verse of Hebrews sets a tone that echoes throughout this important letter to a community of Christians who share a Jewish heritage. These ‘Hebrews’ were coming to grips with how Jesus was the promised Messiah and what this meant for their existing beliefs and practices. What is more, their faith in Jesus was going to have dynamic implications in the ways they interacted with their culture of origin and their culture of daily life.
The book of Hebrews maintains a resonant theme: Jesus is greater. He is greater than the prevailing ideas of our society, greater than the best moralistic practices we can muster, greater than any spiritual entity or influence.
