THE THEME.-i. 1-3. The Glory of the Son in His Person and Work.



I. THE SON IN WHOM GOD HATH SPOKEN.



I. I. God, having of old time spoken unto the fathers in the prophets by divers portions and in divers manners,

2. Hath at the end of these days spoken unto us in his Son. God hath spoken! The magnificent portal by which we enter into the temple in which God is to reveal His glory to us ! We are at once brought into the presence of God Himself. The one object of the Epistle is to lead us to God, to reveal God, to bring us into contact with Himself. Man was created for God. Sin separated from God. Man feels his need, and seeks for God. This Epistle comes with the gospel message of redemption, to teach us where and how to find God. Let all who thirst for God, for the living God, draw nigh and listen. God hath spoken ! Speaking is the vehicle of fellowship. It is a proof that the speaker considers him he addresses as capable of fellowship with himself; a token that he longs for that fellowship. Man was created for fellowship with God.

Sin interrupted it Nature speaks of God and His work, but of Himself, His heart, and His thoughts of love towards us as sinners, nature cannot tell. In his deepest misery man seeks for God but how often, to all appearance, in vain. But, God be praised, not for always. The silence has been broken. God calls man back to fellowship with Himself. God hath spoken ! God hath spoken ! For a time, imperfectly and provision ally in the prophets, in preparation for the more perfect revelation of Himself. But now at length the joyful tidings are heard God hath spoken in His Son ! God, the infinite, incomprehensible, unseen One, hath spoken ! And that in His Son !
