18 5 HEBREWS 1:3 glory (2 Corinthians 4:4). He is not a copy, but the very embodiment of God s nature. He gives us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God (2 Corinthians 4:6). Not only is Jesus the radiance of God s glory, but he is also the exact representation of his being. Jesus is God himself the very God who spoke in Old Testament times. The Greek word for being (hypostasis) means the very substance of God; the Greek word for exact representation (character) was used in ancient times to express an imprint, an image. Thus, Jesus is the visible expression of God s invisible being. We get a perfect picture of God when we look at Christ (John 1:18). In other words, Jesus explains God; he came to the world and portrayed God to people by his words and actions. No one can know God apart from Christ because we know God by knowing Christ. God reveals himself through Jesus (see John 1:1; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Philippians 2:6; Colossians 1:15). The prophets could only tell God s people what they saw and heard. Jesus was God himself his message was firsthand. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of his command. NLT Christ not only created the universe, he also sustains it (Colossians 1:17). He does this by preserving and delivering the universe until he will inherit it (see commentary on 1:1-2). Christ spoke the world into existence (Genesis 1 2), and he supports the world with his omnipotent word (see 11:3). Christ does not physically hold up the world, as was said of the mythical Atlas, but he guides the world toward its appointed future the time when he will receive it as his inheritance (1:2). Because Christ sustains everything, nothing in creation is independent from him. All things are held together in a coherent or logical way, sustained and upheld, prevented from dissolving into chaos. In him alone and by his word, we find the unifying principle of all life. He is transcendent over all other powers. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. NIV This phrase capsulizes the author s two main themes about Christ his sacrifice and his exaltation. Jesus cleansed his people from the ugly stain of sin. Sin destroys our ability to know or approach God, but when God purifies us from our sins, he cleanses our record. He regards us as though we had never sinned and clothes us in the righteousness of Christ himself (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus provided purification for sins. This statement reveals the central theme of the letter: Christ s superior sacrifice for sins. No sacrifice for sin could be greater than the sacrifice offered by the Creator his death on a cross. Jesus cleansed the
24 11 HEBREWS 1:8-9 god. This title was used out of respect for the king s position as God s representative. The title that the people imperfectly placed on the Jewish king was perfectly true of Christ. That his throne...willlastforever and ever stresses Jesus exaltation. Christ has an eternal throne, and his reign is characterized by righteousness because he has loved righteousness and hated wickedness. A Jewish king needed these attributes and emotions in order to maintain the throne. But only Christ has such perfect love for righteousness and hatred for evil. Since a The full flood of my life is not in bodily health, not in external happenings, not in seeing God s work succeed, but in the perfect understanding of God, and in the communion with him that Jesus himself had. Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water. Oswald Chambers throne symbolizes an enduring kingdom or dynasty, these verses look forward to a time when God s enemies will be made into his footstool (see commentary on 1:13). PROPHET, PRIEST, AND KING So far Hebrews has presented three offices of Jesus: prophet, priest, and king. These offices show his leadership and his superiority over all created beings. Jesus as Prophet He reveals the exact nature of God (1:2-3). Jesus as Priest He purified us by his atoning work (1:3). Jesus as King He reigns over all creation (1:3, 8-9). Jesus deserves honor as our ultimate authority. We can give him our highest regard by: Obeying his Word (2:1). Persevering in our faith (12:1-6). Enduring hardship (12:7). Loving fellow believers (13:1). Imitating solid Christian leaders (13:7). Worshiping him with devotion (13:15). God has set Jesus above his companions in two ways: (1) Jesus was set above human messengers because only he was the Anointed One, the greatest mouthpiece of God (see 1:1). No prophet, priest, or king could claim the authority that Jesus possessed. (2) Jesus was set above angelic messengers. Christ is superior to any other spiritual being. These qualities allowed Jesus to be anointed with the oil of joy. The Jews would anoint their kings and their priests with holy oil. This description, therefore, carries a double meaning, revealing that Jesus had been anointed king and priest. He was able to be a sacrifice for sins because he was perfect and
