Seize the Moment – Day 300
Worship Jesus Above All Else!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Monday, January 11.
Did you know that today is Daily Call #300? One day at a time!
As I read Hebrews 1, there is one message that is clear: Jesus Christ is to be worshipped above all things in all of creation.
Listen to Hebrews 1:1-4,
Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
In this first chapter of Hebrews, the author quotes multiple Old Testament passages, including Psalm 104, to proclaim the awesomeness of God’s splendor and majesty that has been made known and visible to us through Jesus Christ.
The point is that Jesus is greater than all of creation, including the angels, which, throughout history up to today, people want to worship. Verse 14 teaches us that angels exist to “to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation.” The true purpose for all of creation, seen and unseen, is to bring glory to God so that we may know Him and enjoy Him forever.
Seize the moment and worship Jesus above all else; only He is worthy of your worship!
