The Glorious Person of Christ
The majesty of Christ is presented to us, so that we may rightly revere Him, who is our Sacrifice and Priest. He is the Last and the First-the Heir of all things, the Maker of all worlds.
Moreover, only in Him is God seen. The sun is the light of our world, yet we see not the sun but its enveloping radiance, thus does the sun teach us of Christ, for " No man hath seen God at any time; the only Begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him "(John 1:18). He is the outshining, the brightness of divine glory. Further, He is the exact image of God; to have seen Him is to have seen the Father; to know Him is to know God. In Christ, the Son, we understand who and what God is.
Again, He upholds all things by the word of His power, His “I will" sustains the universe; His word is the cause of the laws of nature. By that same word the frail thread of our lives is unbreakable, and by that word it yields, and we die.
