Welcome back, my friends. It is time for you and me to get our minds aligned with the

truth of God. We do that every day on the morning mindset. So if you're new to the morning

Speaking of Jesus and it says in him, all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell.

Get that again in him in Jesus. All the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. So Jesus,

though he was fully man, was and is fully God. You notice that word fullness, it says.

Now we're also going to look at Hebrews chapter 1 verse number 3. And this is the writer of

Hebrews describing Jesus. And he says he is the radiance of the glory of God. And listen to
