God the Father and Son

Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
 
HEBREWS continues with the emphasis on Jesus’ supremacy. The word radiance means living wisdom. Jesus is living wisdom because he is the Word made flesh. He is the Light of the world to point the world to the Father. Jesus’ living wisdom is the effective knowledge that displays God’s glory. This is God’s supremacy evident power and authority over creation, including our hearts. 
   Jesus is the Son, who is the exact representation of God. Jesus said it this way in John 14:10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you are not just my own. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. 11 Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves. This is unity of the Divine Nature. God and the Son are two persons in the one. The Son has come to reveal the Father. Jesus is sustaining all things by his powerful word. Through Jesus all things were created and are held together: Colossians 1:17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.  
   The writer has defined Jesus as the one who both points to God and is exactly as God. This is another way to say he is Immanuel. Matthew 1:23 The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel – which means, “God with us.” Jesus is not a representative of God. He is not a messenger or a prophet. He is God with us. He is divine in all of his being. There is no difference between the Father and the Son because the Son is the exact representation of God.
   Then we read of God’s remarkable expression of his mercy. Jesus, the divine God, provided purification for sins. He provided purification. Dwell on that a minute. From heaven came the divine God to cleanse us from all sin, so we might become God’s children. How good is God the Son to manifest himself to the world, so we will know God and know the way to be saved!
   With his work done, Jesus then sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. Only the divine Son is qualified for such a high position.
