Jan 13 2019 Heb 1: 1-12

Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son... He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being.

How much there is to learn from all of the prophets through whom God has spoken! As prophets, they speak of the way things should be, or pointing out the problems of the way things are. Throughout the ages the prophets would have been railing against the wrongs of their time, and hopefully all pointing towards the same dream of God’s.

And as humans, prophets of old probably had human shortcomings and biases that made their message maybe not as precise as God’s own message.

The great news is that through Jesus, we get a prophet who is spot on. As an exact imprint of God, Jesus’ vision and prophecy is God’s. No question and no deviation.

The fact that Jesus was fully human provides an incredible and relatable example of what God wants from us, what God dreams for us.
