Now He speaks through His Son

 

God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, 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; - Hebrews 1:1-2

 

As we enter the book of Hebrews we enter a true treasure trove of Bible teaching it is almost like a mini theology book.

 

The book starts with the foundation for everything else. In the times of old God spoke through His prophets. In the Old Testament God told the prophets what to say and they said it to the people.

 

But now, God speaks to His people directly through His Son.

 

Think about that – the very Son of God, God in the flesh came to earth to talk to you and me.

 

What would lead God to send His Son – why would God take on human flesh to talk to us? What could motivate Him to do that?

 

God loves His creation. Through man turned from God, God chose to bring His message to man. Not only that, after He presented the way back to God, and then He gave Himself on the cross to fulfill the requirements.

 

He has certainly earned the right to speak with authority.
