Daily readings to help you see Jesus' light in your life
by Selwyn Hughes
The Last IS the Best
"... he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of
all things ..." (v. 2)
-- For reading & meditation: Hebrews 1:1-14
The words of our text today point out that though God spoke in times
past through prophets and sages (referring to the religion of
Judaism), His final Word to this world is in His Son. That is our
claim as Christians. Not that the Jewish religion contains nothing of
value. God forbid! But it is not God's last Word to the men and women
of His creation. No other world faith claims that its great teacher
was God incarnate. Yet we claim for Christ just that - and also that
as God He meets every human need. He comes to us where we are and He
does the work. He can relieve any plight of the human soul, and He
has the power to meet every human need. Every spiritually sensitive
person is aware of the presence of guilt which arises from indwelling
sin, and is aware too that he or she alone can do nothing to dissolve
it. Christ atoned for sin and is able to forgive it. Every normal
person also stands in awe of death, knowing it is impossible to
escape it. But Christ has conquered death and has opened the way to
eternal life. Christ's call is to all humanity. He does not
differentiate between groups of people or races. He abides no
barriers of class or creed. "Whosoever will may come" is His constant
message. Devotees of other faiths regard Christians as intolerant
when they cannot concede even by implication that there are any
"gods" or prophets equal to Him. He is unique in His Person, His
mission and in His finished work.
PRAYER:
O God, how can I express my gratitude that I have found the best, or
rather that the Best has found me? May I lay hold of all that is in
Jesus and reflect Him to the world, not in arrogance but in humility.
Amen.
