But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
with the oil of gladness beyond your companions.”
Hebrews 1:8-9
We are about a week late with Christmas decorating, but last night started our family celebrations with the placing of our Christmas tree. Celebrating the gift of Jesus is always a high point of the year. Reading Hebrews now as we begin it is even better. This baby in the manger is the Son Who is superior... Lord of all!
The book of Hebrews shows us that the king born in Bethlehem is forever and always has been God, ruling from an eternal throne with justice, fairness, and all uprightness. Jesus loves righteousness, hates wickedness, and is anointed by God the Father beyond any other power or authority. He is God, anointed by God, to rule over us gladly in perfect peace. What a gift!
Jesus, You are great. You are worthy, always, of my worship and praise. I bow to You, my King, and will live forever under Your rule! Amen
