{Those who say they live in God should live their lives as Jesus did. 1 John 2:6 NLT}{Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. Hebrews 1:1-2 NLT}{And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son.

When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. Hebrews 1:2-3 NLT}{I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance.

Titus 2:14 NLT}{Under the old covenant, the priest stands and ministers before the altar day after day, offering the same sacrifices again and again, which can never take away sins. But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Hebrews 10:11-12 NLT}{This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.

Quotes

Steven Ger : Hebrews transforms our understanding of Christ, our Christology, from abstract theology, to intimate relationship. (Hebrews: Christ is Greater); A.W. Tozer : What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us. (Knowledge of the Holy); Sam Storms : The ultimate goal of theology isn't knowledge, but worship. If our learning and knowledge of God do not lead to the joyful praise of God, we have failed. The only theology worth studying is a theology that can be sung! (); Donald Miller : God is always changing the way I think of Him. I am not saying God Himself is changing, I am only saying I think I know who He is, then I figure out I don’t know very much at all. (Searching For God Knows What); C.S. Lewis : “Welcome, child,” he said. “Aslan,” said Lucy, “You’re bigger.” “That is because you are older, little one,” answered he. “Not because you are?” “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.” (Prince Caspian); N.T. Wright : Once you see who the Son really is, and the role He was always intended to play in God’s plan, you won’t want to go back to anything or anyone else. (Hebrews for Everyone); N.T. Wright : Pay closer attention to who Jesus really is: to the role He played, and still plays, in God’s plan; and to the life of worship and service to which He, and He alone, calls each one of us. (Hebrews for Everyone);
