God's Supreme Spokesperson

Hebrews 1:1-4 (NKJV)
¹ God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,  ² has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;  ³ who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,  ⁴ having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Jesus Christ is the supreme spokesman of God. This is the first reason why He is superior to the prophets. Note the glorious truth: God has spoken to man. He is not as most people think, far off in the distance, someplace in outer space, so far away that He is unconcerned with what is happening to man and his world. The very opposite is true: God is concerned with our lives, with the trials and trouble, sin and evil, suffering and disease, death and decay—with all that happens to us. Therefore, God has spoken to us; He has given us the wonderful words of life and of deliverance. He has told us exactly how to conquer the trials and temptations, the corruption and death of this world. God speaks to mankind, and we find Him speaking thru God's Word? If God is really not far off in the distance someplace—if God has really spoken to man, then we must read and find out what God is saying to us in His Word and heed it. For His Word we find out about everlasting life and how to have victory over all the evil and trials and corruption and death of this life.
God has delivered His word to us in two different ways:

1.  First, God's Word came thru the prophets. In ancient times God spoke to man by His prophets, that is, by persons whom He had chosen to proclaim His Word to the world. Who are these persons? They are the men and women of the Old Testament Scriptures. But note a significant fact: God spoke through the prophets..."at various times": that is, in many separate revelations, at many different times and in various ways.

What does this mean? No man could possibly receive and understand or explain the whole revelation of God. God and the truth of God is too big for any one man. Therefore, God had to make many revelations to many different people, and He had to use many different ways to speak to men. No man could ever contain or share the whole revelation of God.

For God spoke to his prophets in many different ways. But the point to see is this: each prophet could present only a part of God's revelation. No one of them could present the whole revelation of God. The full revelation of God is not found in the prophets. Where is it found then?

This brings us to the second point In Hebrews 1:2 God's Word, His full revelation, is found in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. "In these last days [God has] spoken to us by His Son." This is the most astounding truth imaginable! For God could send no greater messenger with His Word than to send His very own Son. And this is the astounding declaration of this passage: God has sent His Son to proclaim His Word to men.

Before Christ, no man could fully grasp or understand God, and no man could fully proclaim the Word of God. Men could understand only a part or fragment of God. But now God's very own Son has come to earth and revealed God, proclaiming all that God is. It is Jesus Himself who is the revelation of God. He embodies the Word of God. In fact, He is the Word of God. [John 1:1] Verse 14 says He [Jesus] became flesh and dwelt among us. Everything that God ever wanted to say to man is said in the person of Jesus Christ. He is the perfect expression of God's mind. Everything that man needs to know about God and the conquest of life with all its trials, corruption, and death is seen in Jesus Christ. Jesus has the truth about God and mankind.

3)  Jesus Christ is superior to all the prophets; He alone is the supreme revelation of God. As great as the Old Testament prophets were, they were not above God's Son. There can be no greater spokesman than that of God's own Son. That’s why we can not believe what other religions tell us about Jesus or God, no matter what they say. If they deny the Deity of Jesus Christ, or try to tell us He is not the only way to God, then they are false prophets and we should have nothing to do with them or their teaching.

[A] Because God has appointed Jesus heir of all things, Isaiah 9:6-7 (NKJV) ⁶ For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ⁷ Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

[B] Through Jesus God also made the worlds; (Col. 1:16) "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him."

1 Corinthians 8:6 For us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

[C] 3 For Jesus is the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, What does glory mean? It means all the brightness of God—all the brilliance, radiance, splendor, and light of God's Being. It means that God's very presence—in all of His light and purity—dwells among us in the person of Jesus Christ. It meant that in Christ "dwells all the fulness [glory] of God" (Col. 2:9). Men could look at Jesus Christ and see the glory of God in Him—the very light and radiance of God's Being.

The word "image" means substance. Jesus Christ is the very substance, the very Being, Person, and embodiment of God.

[D] Jesus upholds all things by the word of His power, God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is controlling the world and moving it forward to a climactic moment of renewal and recreation—what the Bible calls the great day of redemption. And note how He is holding it together: by the power of His Word. He simply speaks and the laws that hold the world together are set in motion.

[E] Jesus by Himself purged our sins, [John3:16 & 14:6]

[F] Hebrews 1:3b Jesus has sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, ⁴ having become so much better than the angels, as He has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Philippians 2:9-11 (NKJV)
⁹ Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, ¹⁰ that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, ¹¹ and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
INVITATION: God by His Son is speaking to everyone of you right now and Jesus asks “Do you know Me?” “Have you trusted me for your salvation?” If not, I offer you eternal life. If you will repent of your sins and ask Me to forgive you of all your wrong doing I will save you now. What is your decision? Hell is real if you refuse Me! Don't go there when you don't have to.
