Hebrews - Week One
Hebrews 1:1-4
“The radiance in the substance of God is so mighty that it hurts our eyes until it shines on us in Christ.”
“Make up your mind that to behold the glory of God by beholding the glory of Christ is the greatest privilege which is given to believers in this life…Let us regard it as our duty to meditate frequently on his glory. It is the neglect of meditation that keeps so many Christians in a feeble state…A constant view of the glory of Christ will revive our souls and cause our spiritual lives to flourish and thrive. Our souls will be revived by the transforming power with which beholding Christ is always accompanied.”
