Thought for the Day by Matt Jones ​(Associate Minister for Music)

Hebrews 1:1-4

Sometime when you read a passage the clearest response is to marvel, and to worship. Those first 4 verses of Hebrews absolutely fit that category.
Look at verses 3 and 4. Be honest with yourself, how small is your picture of Jesus? I think too often I make the One who is ‘the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being’ limited in my understanding. Verses like these are meant to blow us off our feet, to remind of us that the person whom is our Saviour is also the Sustainer of this universe.
And here’s where it really gets good. Back to verse 1-2, we are reminded that whereas God spoke before in various ways, at various times, now He speaks via His Son. So we get this awesome picture of the glorious Son of God, speaking to us, and not in a limited way like before, but all the time, God himself, with no end! For those who are feeling alone today, or who maybe have been feeling lonely for a long time because of the pandemic, I hope these things in Hebrews 1 gives you a renewed hope.
​How might those four verses change the way you think, speak, live today?
