2. He is the Son of God in incarnation. This is found in the
following sentence "When He had Himself purged out sins" or as it is
literally "Having made by Himself the purification of sins." For
this great purpose He entered His own world. The mighty Creator, the
eternal Son of God, the Holy One is our Redeemer. As Son of God He
walked on the earth in the Spirit of holiness, the holy, spotless
One, God manifested in the flesh. And this wonderful Being was made
Sin for us, went as the willing sacrifice to the cross. Oh what a
record! "Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; who
when reviled, reviled not again: when suffering threatened not; . .
. . . . . who Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, . . . .
by whose stripes ye have been healed." What a foundation for our
faith, what assurance! He Himself has accomplished the work for us
and has made peace in the blood of His cross. He only could do it.
3. The Son of God in resurrection. "He sat down on the right hand of
the Majesty on high, being made so much better than the angels as He
hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." And
in verse 2 we read "Whom He (God) hath appointed heir to all
things."
All this is spoken of Him who had died on the cross and who raised
from the dead as glorified Man is at the right hand of the majesty
on high. What He is in that resurrection Glory we shall be with Him.
His Love does not stop short of this. The Glory the Father gave to
Him, He has given to us. He is the image of the invisible God,
because He is God. His redeemed people shall be transformed into His
image, that He might be the first born among many brethren. What a
thought this is! We shall image Him forth in all eternity, as He
images the invisible God. Into what depths we gaze!
