The Ultimate "Father's Day!"
Hey All!
Hope all you dads out there had a nice Father’s day yesterday, and all you moms and children had fun making your husbands/dads feel special too. I know I was blessed, and am blessed! Not only was I blessed by my wife and the phone calls from my kids, but I was totally blessed at church too. As we go verse by verse through the bible, we found ourselves yesterday in Hebrews 1:1-14. Because God is perfect and all knowing, He deemed it appropriate in His perfect timing, to place us there for Father’s day. Please take the time to check out these verses in your bible and you will be blessed too!
Pay close attention as you read to what the writer has to say about the importance of angels, and that Jesus is “so much better”. Notice how The Father talks about The Son, and then as a bonus, the clear picture of Jesus as the Word (found in John 1) creator of the “Heavens” and the “Earth” in verse 10, and the even clearer picture of The Trinity in verses 8-9.
Enjoy and be blessed!
What God says about His Son on Father's Day!
(Note: Comments are mine)
Hebrews 1:1-14
1 God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through 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 at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

5 For to which of the angels did He (GOD) ever say:
“ You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”?
“ You are My Son, Today I have begotten You”?
And again: “ I will be to Him (JESUS) a Father, And He shall be to Me a Son”?6 But when He again (referring to Jesus 2nd coming) brings the firstborn into the world, He says: “ Let all the angels of God worship Him.”
7 And of the angels He (GOD) says: “ Who makes His angels spirits And His ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But to the Son He says: “ Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” (The “Oil” is symbolic in scripture as the Holy Spirt)
10 And (GOD also says to JESUS): “ You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. (“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. John1:1-3) 11 They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12 Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.” 13 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “ Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”?
14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
As my pastor says; “The bible rocks!”
