Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. It is all about you Jesus.
After the writer of Hebrews explained who the Son was, he quoted Psalm 2:7; II Samuel 7:14; Psalm 97:7; Psalm 104:4; Psalm 45:6–7; Psalm 102:25–27; and Psalm 110:1. He quoted those scriptures from the Old Testament to show the Jews (and us) how scripture was fulfilled by the death and resurrection of Jesus and to prove that Jesus is the Christ and the Son of God. The writer of Hebrews wanted to make sure the people knew that Jesus came to fulfill the law. It isn't Jesus plus the law. It isn't Jesus plus anything.
Jesus and God are One. (See John 1:1–18) By confessing Jesus is Lord you bring honor and glory to God. (See Philippians 2:5–11) The only way to be made right with God is by accepting the grace he gave through His Son. (See Romans 3:22–25) Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. (See Revelation 21:13) Jesus is coming again. (See Revelation 21:20) His throne will last forever and He will rule with fairness. (See Psalm 45:6–7)
Jesus will remain:
JESUS!
Next Entry: Hebrews 2:1 – 3:19
Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. It is all about you Jesus.
"God has chosen his Son to own all things, and through him he made the world. The Son reflects the glory of God and shows exactly what God is like. He holds everything together with his powerful word. When the Son made people clean from their sins, he sat down at the right side of God, the Great One in heaven. The Son became much greater than the angels, and God gave him a name that is much greater than theirs." Hebrews 1:2–4A "name above all names." At the name of Jesus every knee will bow. He is King of all kings, and He is Lord of all lords.

Jesus will remain:
- in all things
- above all things
- before all things, and
- after all things.
JESUS!
