Chapter 1
God has spoken by his Son
14 verses
Key verse — Hebrews 1:3
“who, being the brightness of his glory and the exact image of his person… when he had by himself made purification of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high”

God has spoken by his Son

1God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

2has in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he has appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds;

3who, being the brightness of his glory and the exact image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself made purification of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4having become so much better than the angels, as he has by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Better than the angels

5For to which of the angels did he ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? And again, “I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son”?

6And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says, “And let all the angels of God worship him.”

7And of the angels he says, “Who makes his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”

8But to the Son he says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; a scepter of righteousness is the scepter of your kingdom.

9You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your companions.”

10And: “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the works of your hands.

11They will perish, but you remain; and they will all grow old like a garment;

12and like a cloak you will fold them up, and they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will not fail.”

13But to which of the angels has he ever said, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool”?

14Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve for those who will inherit salvation?

Devotional: Casting on the Right Side

John 21:1–14 (Focus on John 21:6) «"He said to them, 'Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.' So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish." — John 21:6 (ESV)» Empty Nets and Endless Effort After a long night of fishing, the disciples—experienced fishermen who knew the sea well—had nothing to show for their labor. Their nets were empty. Their bodies were exhausted. Their expectations had faded. They had relied on everything they knew: their experience, their skill, and their determination. Many of us know that feeling. We work harder, plan better, and keep trying to produce results through our own strength, yet our nets remain empty. Then Jesus appears on the shore. Although the disciples do not recognize Him at first, He gives them a remarkably simple instruction: «"Cast the net on the right side of the boat."» At first glance, the command almost seems unreasonable. The fish ...

The Natural Man vs. the Spiritual Man: Unlocking Paul's Profound Divide In a world obsessed with self-help, intellect, and empirical proof, the Apostle Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 2:14 hit like a thunderclap: "The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit." This isn't just ancient philosophy—it's a timeless diagnosis of the human condition, explaining why so many brilliant minds stumble over simple truths like forgiveness, healing, or eternal life. Paul draws a stark line between the natural man (the unregenerate soul driven by fleshly impulses) and the spiritual man (the Spirit-indwelt believer attuned to God's wisdom). Understanding this divide isn't academic; it's the key to breaking free from cycles of defeat, sickness, and death. Let's explore this truth through Scripture, history, an...
