Years ago I shared an idea with a gentleman that has been a big hit. You know the guy, David Letterman, and the idea was his Top 10 List that has taken the nation by storm the last few years...Just kidding. It was not my idea, but I am not too good that I wouldn't steal the idea myself. So, here we go.
In the next 10 days I will share with you a "Top 10 List of Scripture". These are NOT my top 10 favorites, but what I do think is that these are 10 verses we, Christians, should know, share and hold on to with everything we are. They will change lives, ours and others. They will give us the truth of God and get us on the right track when we jump tracks.
# 10 on the Top 10 List of scripture
Hebrews 1:3 (nlt)
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. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven.
Mirror image. That is what Jesus is. He is all God and all man at the same time, and what Jesus did when He came to earth was what God called Him and told Him to do. He was and is the radiance or mirror image of God the Father.
Look at the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and listen to what Jesus says about His relationship to God the Father. "I do nothing on my own." "I must spend time with the Father." "If you have seen Me, you've seen the Father." Got a pretty good idea of who this Jesus dude is?
Jesus is God. That's it.
Takes away sin.
Gives light and life.
Takes care of us even when we don't admit it.
I am still reading Margaret Feinberg's The Organic God. Here is an awesome quote about knowing God and knowing His book:
"I decided once again to read the book that God gave me. Your probably have a copy too. Usually when I give a book to someone, I want to build a relationship - to develop conversation, share ideas, and grow together. The gift of a book is a tangible effort to take the relationship to a new intensity - so it becomes deeper, richer, broader than ever before." (page 21)
This Top 10 List of Scripture is intended to get us reading His book and hearing His thoughts. That's my commitment to you in the next 10 days. Like or not...and I hope you love it!
