Hebrews 1:1-4 NLT
Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2 And now in 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. 3 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. 4 This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.
God is speaking. Always. Are you listening? What have we heard Him saying.
Actually, God speaks in many different ways, but it is always through the person of Jesus, our Savior and friend. There is more for us to hear, more for us to enjoy, more for us to treasure, and there is more for us to help us know we are worshipping the only true God.
What do we know about Jesus? These verses speak volumes, but I want to begin with the fact that we need to know and cherish His voice.
John 10:4 NLT
After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice.
We know that God speaks through His son who is the conduit of everything God promised us.
We know that the Son is the mirror image of the Father. God’s character is embodied in His son.
We know that God’s son holds everything together and has done everything to secure our salvation.
We know that Jesus stands far and above anyone and anything else.
Therefore, we must listen to the Son. We must learn from the Son. We must set aside anything that will keep us from hearing from God. This God loves us and wants and plans our success. That is why we need to listen. God is speaking all the time.
