THE SON IS

"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 1:3

If you have ever watched "Swamp People" then you know who Troy Landry is. You can definitely see him in his sons. They each one reflect their father to some degree. God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ reflects God's glory the deepest most real way possible. 

Jesus Christ radiates the truth and reality of his Father, God. If you want to know what God the Father is like, see Christ. In Matthew 21:12-13 we see that God does not like people taking advantage of others, especially in his house. All through out the gospels we see Jesus dealing with the sinners and calling out the "religious" self-righteous leaders. If you want to know who God is, look at what Jesus did. 

Jesus, loved us by dying for us. God's righteousness and mercy met in Jesus' death on the cross and revealed to us the absolute truth about who God is. Christ's resurrection proclaims God's power over death, which only he can do. 

Do you want to know God? Know Christ.

Father, thank you for sending Jesus to reveal yourself to us. Open the eyes of our understanding to know you in Christ. Praise be to you in us today!
