Advent · Day 25 · Wednesday, December 23
God has spoken by his Son
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he also made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of his being, and he carries all things along by his powerful word. After he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
For centuries God spoke in pieces: a promise to Abraham, a song for David, a vision for Isaiah. Most of the readings this month have been those pieces.
Hebrews says that in these last days God has spoken by his Son. Jesus is not one more prophet. He is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of who God is.
If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. Every promise you have read this Advent points to him.
Pray
Father, thank you for speaking to us through your Son. When I wonder what you are like, turn my eyes to Jesus. Amen.
