About Jesus

About Jesus
The writer of Hebrews states,
“In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,  but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.  
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.  
So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs.” 
Hebrews 1:1-4.
Here in a nut shell is what Christians believe about Jesus.
1/ Jesus is the Son of God, the heir of all things.
2/ Jesus made the universe
3/ Jesus “is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being”
4/ Jesus “provided purification for sins”
5/ Jesus sits at the right hand of God in heaven.
If what the writer of Hebrews is saying is true, and I as a Christian believe it to be true only two conclusions can be made.
Either it is the truth. Jesus is the Son of God, God incarnate, the Saviour of mankind,
or Christians are believing a lie that has lasted centuries.
If as I believe the writer of Hebrews is right then the individual reading this has a lot to think about.
C. S. Lewis wrote,
“Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.”
                                                          C. S. Lewis.
Who do you think Jesus is?
         Think carefully, because your eternal resting place depends on it.
