Hebrews (Part Nine): Chapter 1: Jesus' Exultation and Christianity's Claims
Sermon by John W. Ritenbaugh (1932-2023)Jesus Christ's witness to the world of the Father and Their purpose stands as a profound testimony. When the accounts of John 1 are combined with Hebrews 1, the evidence of His witness reveals the record of His divine glory, leaving mankind without a valid excuse. These three witnesses—John 1, Hebrews 1, and Jesus Himself—display the glory of God. Just as the sun is revealed by shining, so too did the Son of God show forth a brilliance in His demeanor, like the sun in all its glory, recorded by far more witnesses than any other ancient figure. By means of the sun's light and radiation, all of nature depends on it; similarly, through the light of Jesus' life and the warmth emanating from His messages, mankind is absolutely dependent, even in their ignorance. As stated in Psalm 84:11, the Lord God is a sun and shield, giving grace and glory, withholding no good thing from those who walk uprightly. His generosity and service to mankind are overwhelming to those who reflect on it.
