Hebrews 1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 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. 3 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, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.
Jesus Christ is The Radiance of the Glory of God. Radiance means "to emit light or splendor", while glory, as we have seen before is: "Renown, great beauty or splendor."* So together we find this name shines brightly to reveal to us God's perfect beauty and glory. In Him we can see what God is really like. In Him we find one who really can keep everything together and run the world. He is so bright there is no dark corner that cannot be seen, and there are no dark corners. In Christ we have the "full disclosure" of God and His perfect plan, and now He is back at the Father's right hand, saying to us: "Any questions?", and He is waiting for us to ask Him.
