Hebrews 1-2:4 - What a powerful introduction to Jesus Christ! He is the final Word from God, the one through whom all things were created, the one who sustains all things by his word. In these opening words from the author of Hebrews we see Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God. Don't look anywhere else for God. Jesus Christ is it!
Hebrews 2:9-18 - If chapter 1 makes clear Jesus' divine nature, chapter 2 illustrates that Jesus was also fully human. This is the profound mystery of salvation. Jesus took on our flesh so that he might suffer in our place. God did not just send down some more communiques or leave us to our own devices. He came Himself. Jesus Christ, clothed in the frailty of humanity, joined us in this fallen world in order to redeem it. We can talk about all kinds of other important things regarding being Christians, but apart from these truths it would be meaningless. Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, and in his resurrection we find our hope. Jesus Christ is it!
