The sole expression of the glory of God

He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature,  upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3 AMP

Jesus. He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature. The Message bible puts it this way ...

This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God's nature. He hold everything together by what he says - powerful words! Hebrews 1:3 The Message

Jesus, who said to the Jews,

For I have come down from heaven not to do My own will and purpose but to do the will and purpose of Him Who sent Me. And this is the will of Him Who sent Me, that I should not lose any of all that He has given me, but that I should give new life and raise [them all] up at the last day. John 3:38-39 AMP

Jesus, who said to the crowd in the temple,

Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not be walking in the dark, but will have the Light which is Life. John 8:12 AMP

Jesus, who said to the people in the temple, 

He said to them, You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world (of this earthly order); I am not of this world. That is why I told you that you will die in (under the curse of) your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He [Whom I claim to be - if you do not adhere to, trust in, and rely on Me], you will die in your sins. John 8:24 AMP

 

Jesus, who prayed for those who crucified him.

And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided His garments and distributed them by casting lots for them. Luke 23:34 AMP

Jesus, who said

The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows). I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd risks and lays down His [own] life for the sheep. John 10:10-11 AMP

Today, as we read and listen to what is going on around the world, let's remember Who Jesus is - He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God's] nature, and what He did - He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt. 

What He has done for us, truly gives us life here, and life eternally. Thank you Jesus - the sole expression of the glory of God.
