Hebrews 1:1-2 (CB)

Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

Jesus, the second person of the Trinity, was God’s agent in creating the world: “In Him all things were created” (Col.1:16). As followers of Christ, we may give easy assent to this truth but deny it in practice. We may believe that Christ knows and controls the laws of heaven (pertaining to salvation and spiritual growth), but we may act each day as though our financial, family, or medical problems are beyond his reach. If Jesus could create the universe, then NO part of life is out of His control. Do not exclude Jesus’ wisdom and the Bible’s guidance in your complex problems of life. No expert, professor, doctor, lawyer, or financial adviser knows more about your ultimate security and well-being than Jesus does. Go first to God for advice. Talk to him in prayer and listen to him speak through His Word. He can sustain you in times of stress. From that perspective you can evaluate all the other wisdom and help made available to you. The Son’s supremacy will be displayed at the end of history, for ALL things were created …for Him. (Col.1:16) As God’s adopted sons through Christ Jesus, we are likewise heirs. What amazing grace!
