I’m thinking this morning about this verse in
Hebrews 1 and how God our Father expressed his love to Jesus, “This is my son.”
and gave his approval by saying “well-done”, and finally, Hebrews declares, “appointed him heir of all things.”
We know an heir inherits everything
designated in the will and inherits nothing without it being stated. But what
does the phrase, all things, include? All power in heaven and earth belong to
Christ; all wisdom, all of creation; all flesh, all honor and glory are His. Surely
all means all that is good, right, pure and holy, because this is the nature of
our God and Father. It must also mean all the resources of heaven.
When the scriptures say, “All
things are yours, “(1Cor. 3:21) to the believers in Christ, it is in Christ
Jesus that this is true. Truly those in Christ Jesus should lack no good
thing. Indeed we are ultimately blessed
and provided for, as Paul says in the book of Romans, “if He God did not
withhold Christ, how shall He not with Him freely
give us all things.” (Rom. 8:32) This then is a generosity beyond our
comprehension.
Thank
you Father for sending your Son, Jesus and showing through Him a life lived in
the fullness of God’s generosity and abundance. Thank you that he freely received and freely
gave. Thank you that all things are His, and through Him, all things are ours
as well.
