Hebreus 1:2-3 NVIPT

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:3

Jesus as the express Image of the Divine substance. The more we ponder the various terms used for describing Jesus in the introduction to this Epistle, the more we see how the writer is striving to glorify Jesus by separating him from the common mass of men and presenting him to our thoughts in the most intimate relation with God. It is meant to be regarded as a relation of the closest correspondence in all possible ways. To say that God is the Father and Jesus the Son is not enough; for... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Hebrews 1:3

Reality over against phenomena. It is very striking to notice in this third verse that the assertions with respect to Jesus are not at all the assertions that would have been made by the bulk of his contemporaries. They did not see all this glory being manifested, this essence of divinity shaping itself, this mighty sustaining of all things, this cleansing away of sin, this assumption of a seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Have we not to notice again and again in the level of... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 1:2

Hath in these last days - In this the final dispensation; or in this dispensation under which the affairs of the world will be wound up. Phrases similar to this occur frequently in the Scriptures. They do not imply that the world was soon coming to an end, but that that was the “last” dispensation, the “last” period of the world. There had been the patriarchal period, the period under the Law, the prophets, etc., and This was the period during which God’s “last” method of communication would be... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Hebrews 1:3

Who being the brightness of his glory - This verse is designed to state the dignity and exalted rank of the Son of God, and is exceedingly important with reference to a correct view of the Redeemer. Every word which is employed is of great importance, and should be clearly understood in order to a correct apprehension of the passage. First, in what manner does it refer to the Redeemer? To his divine nature? To the mode of his existence before he was incarnate? Or to him as he appeared on earth?... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 1:2

Hebrews 1:2. Hath in these last days Namely, the last of the Jewish Church and state, which were then drawing to their final abolition. Or the times of the Messiah may be intended, as 2 Timothy 3:1. Here we have the second fact of which the apostle proposed to discourse, namely, that the person by whom God hath revealed the gospel is his Son, appearing in the human nature; a person far superior to the highest creatures, even a person properly divine; from which it is reasonable to infer,... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Hebrews 1:3

Hebrews 1:3. Who being the brightness Απαυγασμα , the effulgence, or out-beaming, or splendour; of his The Father’s; glory In Scripture, the glory of God signifies the perfections of God. See Romans 1:23; and in and by the Son of God, the glorious nature and attributes of the Father have shone forth probably to angels, at least to men; as on mount Sinai, when his voice shook the earth, (Hebrews 12:26,) in the tabernacle and temple. Compare Exo 24:10 with John 1:18, and 1 Timothy... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Hebrews 1:1-4

1:1-2:18 SALVATION THROUGH CHRISTGod speaks through his Son (1:1-4)Israel prepared the way, but Jesus Christ brings God’s plan of salvation to its fulfilment. In Old Testament times God spoke to people through Israelite prophets, but now he speaks more directly, for he speaks through his Son. In addition, his revelation is much clearer, for Jesus Christ is the exact expression of the divine nature. All things were created by him, are controlled by him, and one day will return to him as his... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Hebrews 1:2

Hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds.The broad premise here is that the same personal God who gave the Old Testament and its derived institutions has likewise given the New Testament and its system. The same God who spoke of old through the prophets reserved a more noble means of communication for humanity in the setting up of the new covenant, seeing that he did so "in his Son." The contrast in the... read more
