Hebrews chapter 1, verse 3.

He is the radiance of the glory of God

and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the exact imprint of his nature and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

Yes, what are the most beautiful, glorious, awesome majestic descriptions of Jesus in one sentence in all the Bible.

Just gonna read it one more time.

He is talking about Jesus, the radiance of the glory of God,

and the exact imprint of his nature

and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

There's so much there.

He's the radiance, he's the reflection,

the shining reflection of the glory of God, all the attributes of God radiate in Jesus, his love,

his justice, his mercy, his goodness, his truth, his beauty, his power, they all radiate in Jesus.

He's the exact imprint of his nature. This is the Trinitarian nature of God. He is Father,

son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus is God. He's not part God, he is fully God.

He's the exact imprint of the nature of God.

Jesus is no mere man.

Yes, he's fully man, and he is fully God, and he upholds the universe.

The universe, though, not just the world, but the universe with all of its galaxies

and all of its stars and all of its planets and constellations

and all the things we can see now in our greatest telescopes. He upholds it all.

How by the word of his power.
