The Children Share


Hebrews 2:14-16 (NASB Strong’s (Lockman))

14 Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives. 16 For assuredly He does not give help to angels, but He gives help to the descendant of Abraham.


He became like us that we might become like Him and it is there that creation mixes with the divine as the final act of creation. He is the beginning and the end.

Strength To Strength



Psalms 84:5-7 (NASB Strong's)

5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,

In whose heart are the highways to Zion!

6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;

The early rain also covers it with blessings.

7 They go from strength to strength,

Every one of them appears before God in Zion.


We go from strength to strength as we are being made in the image of God until we appear before His throne. It is in the heart that the wilderness journey takes place and the world is overcome.

At My Right Hand



Hebrews 1:13 (NASB Strong's)

But to which of the angels has He ever said,

“SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND,

UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES

A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET”?


Those who overcome the world will sit with Jesus on His throne.

Also Be Changed



Hebrews 1:10-12 (NASB Strong's)

10 And,

“YOU, LORD, IN THE BEGINNING LAID THE FOUNDATION OF THE EARTH,

AND THE HEAVENS ARE THE WORKS OF YOUR HANDS;

11 THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN;

AND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT,

12 AND LIKE A MANTLE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP;

LIKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED.

BUT YOU ARE THE SAME,

AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END.”


In a moment, in the twinkling of the eye, we shall be changed. Mortality will put on immortality and our years will never end.

Has Anointed You

Echoes of the Word 


Hebrews 1:9 (NASB Strong's)

“YOU HAVE LOVED RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HATED LAWLESSNESS;

THEREFORE GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU

WITH THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE YOUR COMPANIONS.”


Those who come to the light have been anointed with the life of God and separated from the darkness of mankind.

Our Father

Hebrews 1:5 (NASB Strong's)

For to which of the angels did He ever say,

“YOU ARE MY SON,

TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU”?

And again,

“I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM

AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME”?


We are reborn as sons and daughters of God and He has become our Father in heaven, hallowed be His name. Even the angels long to be a part of this.

A More Excellent Name

Echoes Of The Word -


Hebrews 1:4 (NASB Strong's)

having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.


This is the name Jesus gives to those who overcome the world.
