Hebrews 1

In this beginning of Hebrews, Verses 2 and 3 really stood out to me highlighting the majesty, glory, honor and power of Jesus Christ.
"...his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3The 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."

Two phrases, "the exact representation of his being" and "sustaining all things by his powerful word" tell me this: 1) Jesus is exactly equal to God, not lesser in any way or even different for that matter, but exactly the same 2) Jesus not only created all of creation but still, by his power, holds it all together.

Perhaps even the very forces of nature that we observe that hold things together (gravity, strong and weak nuclear forces) are simply the working of Jesus' powerful word - that same word that called all of creation into existance.

Jesus is amazing!!
