Hebrews 1:1-6
In the past, God spoke to our people through the prophets. He spoke at many times. He spoke in different ways.But in these last days, he has spoken to us through his Son. He is the one whom God appointed to receive all things. God also made everything through him.The Son is the shining brightness of God’s glory. He is the exact likeness of God’s being. He uses his powerful word to hold all things together. He provided the way for people to be made pure from sin. Then he sat down at the right hand of the King, the Majesty in heaven.So he became higher than the angels. The name he received is more excellent than theirs.God never said to any of the angels,“ You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.”( Psalm 2:7) Or,“ I will be his Father. And he will be my Son.”( 2 Samuel 7:14; 1 Chronicles 17:13)God’s first and only Son is over all things. When God brings him into the world, he says,“ Let all God’s angels worship him.”( Deuteronomy 32:43)

The bride belongs to the groom. The friend who helps the groom waits and listens for him. He is full of joy when he hears the groom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.He must become more important. I must become less important.“ The one who comes from above is above everything. The one who is from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks like someone from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above everything.

Hebrews 3:1-6
Holy brothers and sisters, God chose you to be his people. So keep thinking about Jesus. We embrace him as our apostle and our high priest.Moses was faithful in everything he did in the house of God. In the same way, Jesus was faithful to the God who appointed him.The person who builds a house has greater honor than the house itself. In the same way, Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses.Every house is built by someone. But God is the builder of everything.“ Moses was faithful as one who serves in the house of God.”( Numbers 12:7) He was a witness to what God would say in days to come.But Christ is faithful as the Son over the house of God. And we are his house if we hold tightly to what we are certain about. We must also hold tightly to the hope we boast in.

Genesis 3:22-24
The Lord God said,“ Just like one of us, the man can now tell the difference between good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out and pick fruit from the tree of life and eat it. If he does, he will live forever.”So the Lord God drove the man out of the Garden of Eden. He sent the man to farm the ground he had been made from.The Lord God drove him out and then placed angels on the east side of the garden. He also placed there a flaming sword that flashed back and forth. The angels and the sword guarded the way to the tree of life.

There were many priests in Levi’s family line. Death kept them from continuing in office.But Jesus lives forever. So he always holds the office of priest.People now come to God through him. And he is able to save them completely and for all time. Jesus lives forever. He prays for them.A high priest like that really meets our need. He is holy, pure and without blame. He isn’t like other people. He does not sin. He is lifted high above the heavens.

John 1:14-18
The Word became a human being. He made his home with us. We have seen his glory. It is the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father. And the Word was full of grace and truth.John was a witness about the Word. John cried out and said,“ This was the one I was talking about. I said,‘ He who comes after me is more important than I am. He is more important because he existed before I was born.’ ”God is full of grace. From him we have all received grace in place of the grace already given.In the past, God gave us grace through the law of Moses. Now, grace and truth come to us through Jesus Christ.No one has ever seen God. But the One and Only is God and is at the Father’s side. The one at the Father’s side has shown us what God is like.

John 15:1-8
“ I am the true vine. My Father is the gardener.He cuts off every branch joined to me that does not bear fruit. He trims every branch that does bear fruit. Then it will bear even more fruit.You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.Remain joined to me, just as I also remain joined to you. No branch can bear fruit by itself. It must remain joined to the vine. In the same way, you can’t bear fruit unless you remain joined to me.“ I am the vine. You are the branches. If you remain joined to me, and I to you, you will bear a lot of fruit. You can’t do anything without me.If you don’t remain joined to me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and dries up. Branches like those are picked up. They are thrown into the fire and burned.If you remain joined to me and my words remain in you, ask for anything you wish. And it will be done for you.When you bear a lot of fruit, it brings glory to my Father. It shows that you are my disciples.

And I make dry trees green.”“‘ I have spoken. I will do this. I am the Lord.’ ”
