All By Himself
…Who being the brightness of [His] glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high…
Hebrews 1:3

How do we know Jesus is God? Examine His credentials. Jesus is called the brightness of God’s glory. God is glorious because of Jesus’ purity. Jesus is the express image of God’s person – God in flesh. All things are held together by the power of Jesus’ Word. The value of Jesus’ authority and power was validated when witnesses saw Him sit down at the right hand of the Father. Jewish religious leaders asked, “Who but God can forgive sins?” Yet, Jesus purged sins all by Himself. Though Jesus looked like a man, His appearance never changed His nature, power, or authority as God to do what He promised to do since the beginning.
