Shalom,

I love Hebrews 1:1-2!
In many separate revelations [each of which set forth a portion of the Truth] and in different ways God spoke of old to [our] forefathers in and by the prophets, [But] in the last of these days He has spoken to us in [the person of a] Son, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time [He made, produced, built, operated, and arranged them in order].

Jesus, the Living Word of God, made the previous revelations come alive! His life was in complete obedience to the Word of God! He was without sin, so that means that where the religious leaders THOUGHT that He was missing it, THEY had either added to or subtracted from the actual Word of God! Do you remember that 1 Corinthians 13:12 says this:

12 For now we are looking in a mirror that gives only a dim (blurred) reflection [of reality as in a riddle or enigma], but then [when perfection comes] we shall see in reality and face to face! Now I know in part (imperfectly), but then I shall know and understand fully and clearly, even in the same manner as I have been fully and clearly known and understood [by God]. AMP

If OUR vision is blurred, after having Jesus illuminate and illustrate the Word so clearly during His earthly ministry, just think how blurred THEIR vision was under the Old Covenant! We CAN see more clearly every day IF we continue to meditate the Word of God (Joshua 1:8), obey the Word we know, and continue in intimate fellowship with Him, but we will NOT see with complete clarity UNTIL we see Him face to face (1 John 3:2)! We can, however, know and understand this from Hebrews 1:3-4:
He is the sole expression of the glory of God [the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine], and He is the perfect imprint and very image of [God’s] nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty word of power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on high, [Taking a place and rank by which] He Himself became as much superior to angels as the glorious Name (title) which He has inherited is different from and more excellent than theirs.

Jesus, our Lord and personal Savior, is 100% God and 100% man! He represents both perfectly, making Him the perfect choice to bridge the gap created by Adam's sin. We are now restored to an even better position with God than Adam and Eve had in the Garden! THEY walked WITH God in the Garden. WE walk with God IN US, by the person of the Spirit of God! HALLELUJAH! What the devil meant for evil against God backfired on him BIG TIME! We enforce that defeat every time we find out what God wants done, and then do it His way. Our every act of faith and obedience reminds the enemy that he has no hold over us at all! Refuse to be fearful, defeated or held back any longer! You CAN do ALL things in His strength (1 Corinthians 4:13 AMP)! AMEN! Here is  Hillsong United with "Freedom Is Here/Shout Unto God":


Shalom in Him!
