Hebrews #4 - 1:1-4
Speaker Notes
The Collect for Advent
Almighty God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness,
and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in
which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last
day, when he shall come again in his glorious Majesty, to judge both the quick
and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and
reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Hebrews 1:1-4
God’s Final Word: His Son
1.1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. 3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. 4 So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.
