Hebrews 1 Part 2

Part two

HEB1.1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he (God) has spoken to us by his (God’s) Son, whom he (God) appointed the heir (Jesus)   (heir-person who has the legal right to receive property of someone who dies.) of all things, through whom also he (God) created the world. He (Jesus) is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his (God’s) nature, and he (Jesus) upholds the universe by the word of his (Jesus) power. After making purification for sins, he (Jesus) sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he(Jesus) has inherited (inherit- received property or title by legal succession or a will usually from someone who died)  is more excellent than theirs (the angels).  

HEIDI: I was really struck by the thought that for an heir to inherit, someone has to die. Interesting that Jesus had to die to by the heir to His own Kingdom…..also note, I put in the proper name the pronouns is referring to. It keeps me from getting lost.
