Episode 173: Hebrews 1 Part 1 The Deity and Humanity of Jesus

In the Old Testament, we see God speaking to people in many ways. He spoke to them audibly, He used angels to send messages, He spoke through prophets, but in the New Testament, God spoke to people himself clothed in flesh—Jesus. Moses wanted to see God’s glory but God told him he couldn’t see His face or he would die because he was so holy. When Moses had been in the presence of God, he came down the mountain to talk to the people and they had to put a veil over him because he glowed! And so God puts on flesh and walks among His people and they can relate to him. They literally could hang out with God! They ate meals with Him, talked with Him, traveled with Him…They could literally reach out and touch God! And the author of Hebrews tells us Jesus was the radiance of God’s glory and he expresses the very character of God, and yet, we can relate to Jesus because he was one of us!
