Welcome to November!
As we continue looking at JESUS through the different books of the Bible, we will begin today in the book of Hebrews. On this blog, I highlight words that are names/descriptions of JESUS that either appear for the first time (since beginning this blog) or have been previously referred to or highlighted on this blog. Most of the time, we look at a chapter a day, except the last 3 days of October we looked at the 5 chapters of the book of James.
1 GOD,
after HE spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many
portions and in many ways,
2 in
these last days has spoken to us ]in HIS SON,
WHOM
HE appointed HEIR
OF ALL THINGS,
THROUGH WHOM HE ALSO MADE
THE WORLD.
3 And
HE is THE RADIANCE OF
HIS GLORY and
THE EXACT REPRESENTATION OF
HIS NATURE,
and UPHOLDS ALL THINGS BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER.
When
HE had MADE
PURIFICATION OF SINS,
HE
sat down AT THE RIGHT
HAND OF THE MAJESTY ON HIGH.
4 having
become SO MUCH BETTER
THAN THE ANGELS,
to
the extent that HE HAS
INHERITED A MORE EXCELLENT NAME than they.
5 For
to which of the angels did HE ever say,
“YOU
are MY SON,
today
I have Fathered YOU”?
And
again,
“I
will be a FATHER to HIM and
HE
will be a SON to ME”?
“I will
be a Father to Him
And He will be a Son to Me”?
6 And when
HE again brings THE
FIRSTBORN into the world, HE says,
“And
LET ALL THE ANGELS OF
GOD WORSHIP HIM.”
7 And
regarding the angels HE says,
“HE makes HIS angels winds,
And HIS ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But
regarding THE SON
HE says,
“YOUR THRONE, GOD, IS
FOREVER AND EVER,
And
THE SCEPTER OF
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF HIS KINGDOM.
9 You have
loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
Therefore, God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.”
10 And,
“YOU, LORD,
IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH,
And
THE HEAVENS ARE THE
WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;
11 They
will perish, but YOU
REMAIN;
And
they all will wear out like a garment,
12 And
like a robe, YOU WILL
ROLL THEM UP;
Like
a garment they will also be changed.
But
YOU ARE THE SAME, AND
YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END.”
13 But
to which of the angels has HE ever said,
“Sit
at MY right hand, until I make YOUR enemies a footstool for YOUR feet”?
14 Are
they not all ministering spirits, sent out to provide service
for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?”
