Consider Him

Heb. 3:1 -6; 1 2:1 -3
Man's superiority over other creatures is in mind and heart. The angels excel in strength, and it is never said that they are made in the image of God. Man's heart is very large and there is only One who can fill it. When the Lord is before us, we have One who can and does fill the heart and mind.
The above two scriptures bring the Lord before us in two different ways, perhaps three. He is brought before us in many ways in Scripture. Sometimes we see Him in His eternal glory, then again in His manhood, then back to glory. His glory is great, and His glories are many. Joseph's father loved him, and made him a coat of many colors. Apply this in type to the Lord Jesus. He has personal glories, and glories that have been given Him.
“Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling." How much there is in these few words! "Consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession [confession]." His apostleship was on earth; His high priesthood is in heaven. Let us consider these two things: first, what is our confession? It is this-God is known, is revealed, is no longer concealed, no longer in darkness. "God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all." In 1 John 4 we get "God is love” twice, but in the first chapter it is "God is light.”
The next thing to consider is, where God is, that is, "in the light." Then as to our confession, it is walking "in the light." He told the prophets of old a great deal about Himself, but when He is revealed, it is alone in the person of His Son (John 1:18).
