Holy Conversation


Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he brings the firstborn into the world, he says,
“Let all God's angels worship him.”
7 Of the angels he says,
“He makes his angels winds,
    and his ministers a flame of fire.”
8 But of the Son he says,
“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
    the scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your kingdom.
9 You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness;
therefore God, your God, has anointed you
    with the oil of gladness beyond your companions
.” 
The passage above is one of the most fascinating conversations in scripture. The writer records God the Father speaking, first about, then to God the Son.  In context, the writer is telling how the revelation God the Son, Jesus the Christ has given us is far superior to anything else we have received, beginning with His incarnation. He then goes on to quote God the Father as He speaks to the Son, calling Him God, yet at the same time calling Himself God. When He came, Christ did reveal to us what God is like, what His plan is, and how He wants us to be a part of their family.
