See God in the Son
1A long time ago, God used to talk to our people through prophets who delivered God’s messages at different times and in many ways. [1] 2It’s different now. In these last days, [2] God speaks to each of us through his Son. The Son is God’s heir. The Son has now inherited everything there was to inherit. He created the universe too.3Look at the Son to see God in all his glory.
In the Son, we see what God is like.
With a word, the Son holds the universe in place.
He washed us clean of all our sins.
Then he took his seat at the right hand of Greatness. [3]
Imagine God Telling an Angel This
4He is so much more than an angel. His name tells that story. 5Did God ever tell an angel,“You are my Son.
As of today, I’m your Father”? [4]
“I’ll be a Father to him.
He’ll be a Son to me”? [5]
“Angels everywhere,
Worship him.” [7]
“He sends angels, like he sends the wind.
He sends them as a message, like he sometimes does with fire.” [8]
“You will rule your kingdom forever, God.
Justice is the hallmark of your reign.
That’s why God chose you over all your associates.
That’s why he anointed you with joy.” [9] 10This too:
“Lord, when it all began, you were there.
You laid the foundation for what became the earth.
You hung the sky with your creativity.
Everything up there came from you.
Like old clothes, they’ll fall apart.
12You’ll fold them up like a worn-out robe.
You’ll change them, like you change clothes you wear.
But you’ll never change who you are.
You’ll never wear out, fall apart, or end.” [10] 13Tell me, to what angel has God ever said this?
“Pull up a throne and sit beside me.
Stay here on my right side and watch.
I’m going to make your enemies bow so low
That you could use them as footstools.” [11]
