As I was looking forward to the daily readings (and bloggings) on Hebrews, I was almost giddy with excitement and frozen with fear at the same time. While Hebrews is for believers an exciting exposition about the many attributes of Jesus, it is also a source of many very deep thoughts about the everlasting Son of God. In Matthew Henry's commentary, he writes, "This epistle shows Christ as the end, foundation, body, and truth of the figures of the law, which of themselves were no virtue for the soul. The great truth set forth in this epistle is that Jesus of Nazareth is the true God."
Take refuge my friend that the Jesus that I am talking about daily is the "true God."
One of my favorite phrases from Matthew Henry's commentary comes from the the knowledge of Jesus Christ is the very marrow and kernel of all the Scriptures.
He is the radiance of His glory, the exact expression of His nature, and He sustains all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
