ok, I hope you are ready for this, this will not be an easy book, but there are some incredible truths in it, so we must read it!

If you dont understand the whole thing, look for one or two verses that jump out at you!

Hebrews 1

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the first begotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
11 They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall wax old as doth a garment;
12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

That is some pretty deep stuff, but at least one message is very clear, God's son, Jesus Christ, who owns all of creation, came to this earth and lived a rightoeus life a pur and sinless life then died on the cross to pay for our sins!! Nothing compares to His glory, not even the most incredible Angels!

I love the first part, where it explains "being in the brightness fo His glory", when was the last time that you looked at the sun? Well, when you look at the sun for a second, it effects you, it will make your eyes water, it will make you squint involuntary, it will even leave an impression of the same image in your sight as you look away!

Gods glory is supposed to do all of this in our life, when people look at us, they are supposed to see the Glory of Christ revealed through us! They are supposed to be effected by what they see, We should let Christ burn so bright in our lives that we cannopt help but be a testimony to those around us!! The lost cannot HELP BUT SEE US!!!
