A message from the series “The Book of Hebrews.” God’s Final Word
Hebrews 1:1-4

Main Point:
God spoke by the prophets in the past, but He has spoken the final word to us in His Son, Jesus, the Messiah. We must embrace the Son as the fulfillment of all God has previously spoken.

God Spoke! (Gr. Laleo) = to use words in order to declare one’s mind and disclose one’s thoughts.
(Hebrew ‘awmar’) – to speak, command. (Genesis 1:3)

General revelation Romans 1:18-20
Special revelation II Peter 1:20-21

Exodus 19:3 ‘Then Moses went up to God, and the LORD called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel:’

1. God spoke by the prophets with a view towards the messianic fulfillment. Deuteronomy 18:15 > John 6:14 > Acts 3:19-24

Verse 3 – His ‘Son’ – John 3:16 ‘Monogenes’ = Sole / only one of its kind

2. Hebrews stresses the absolute supremacy and sufficiency of the Son – the fulfillment of the promised new covenant which fulfills and surpasses the old covenant. Jeremiah 31:31-34 > Hebrews 8:6-13

*Son=’Heir of all things and thru whom God made the universe’

John 4:21-24

Main Point:
Father God seeks those who will worship Him with their whole heart – in spirit and in truth. Are we seeking Him?

‘Worship’ (Greek – proskuneo) = to kiss towards, to kiss the hand translates Hebrew (Shachah) – to bow down, prostrate oneself.

Psalm 29:2 ‘Give to the LORD the glory due His name, worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.’
*Have you come to Him?

Micah 6:8 ‘He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you? But to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?’

*Worship is both an act and an attitude!

1. God is spirit and seeks us to worship Him in spirit and in truth. verse 24

(place is irrelevant)

2. In Spirit means in the inner being, the spirit – the heart, not just outward show, external ritual. verse 23a

3. In truth means one’s spirit is connected with, and made alive by the truth of God revealed in His Son, Jesus Christ. verse 23b
