Title: God Speaks

(S) cripture:
    Hebrews 1:1-2 (NASB) God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, 2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

(O) bservation:
    The theme of Hebrews is that Jesus is superior to anything that came before. God spoke through the prophets and we should take heed to what they wrote because it came from God. But now, in these days, He has spoken and speaks in His Son that is much superior to any other communication. Most translations use either the word “in”, “by”, or “through” to describe how God has spoken using His Son. That means that we must focus on the whole of Jesus’ life as revealed to us in scripture. When we want to know what God desires, we look to Jesus. What God has said through the prophets and Jesus we know from the scripture. There is no other source to know what God has said.

(A) pplication:
    Anything contrary to the Bible is not from God. I must study the Bible, God’s Word, to know what was said. The Holy Spirit can then work to make application for our lives today. I must continually immerse myself in the Word if I want to communicate what God has said and help others grow as disciples and followers of Jesus.

(P) rayer:
    Lord, let me communicate only what is consistent with your Word. Amen
