He is 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. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high...
Hebrews 1:3
Three truths about Who Jesus is come powerfully from this verse. First, Jesus is the glorious God. The radiance of the glory of God is seen in Him. Do I want to know God in His glory? All I need to do is to read the gospels, see what Jesus said and did, and bear witness to the glory of God on earth.
Second, Jesus is the visible God. The hardest part of faith is believing the unseen. Yet in history, in the real person of Jesus, God lived and walked among us. Want it see God? Just read the gospels and follow along as Jesus walks, talks, eats, drinks, and lives and loves sinners. His life is the life of God made visible.
Not only is Jesus the glorious God and the visible God, but He is also the salvation of God. In Jesus, a holy sinless sacrifice was made that purified all sin for all time. His sacrifice is complete. His holy work is done. He redeems us completely and so satisfied the demand for justice upon sin that He now sits at the exalted right hand of the Father. Jesus is our Savior and Lord.
