Hebrews 1:1-3
“Going through a long line of prophets, God has been addressing our ancestors in different ways for centuries. Recently he spoke to us directly through his Son. By his Son, God created the world in the beginning, and it will all belong to the Son at the end. This Son perfectly mirrors God and is stamped with God’s nature. He holds everything together by what he says—powerful words!”
“Long ago God spoke many times and in man ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now is these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance and through the Son he created the universe. The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command.”
Somehow the preincarnate Christ organized the energy radiating from the father into apparently immutable matter. The closer science looks at subatomic parts the more apparent the entire universe consists of nothing but energy. I rejoice that those who were among the first to lead moderns away from God may be the first to lead them back. The Lord is performing his signature ‘inside out’ maneuver before our eyes. As science changes from pride to awe and wonder, research points ever more clearly to a creator. We must continue pointing to Jesus as that creator.
I love that God speaks to us in different ways. Hearing him speak into my personal existence is a kind of freedom. His voice is not bound by this law or that procedure. It is not confined to a person or institution. In my life it has come from some surprising directions.
Lord, I praise your ever-presence, creativity and love. I am amazed at your care for the mundane parts of my life. You are the solid rock I lean on as I navigate every moment of the day. Thank you Jesus for giving me a way into God’s heart.
