Trusting in Jesus

Hebrews 1:1-4

One powerful phrase in this text really sticks out to me; "He appointed Him heir of all things."  I have been meditating on this verse for days (why I have not written my blog).  Because the Son was obedient God gave Him ownership of everything.  That means that all things are under the Lordship of Jesus Christ now and forever.  He is not going to be the heir of all things, God has already highly exalted Him to the seat at His own right hand.  In the book of Luke Jesus says that the Father had handed all things over to Him. (Luke 10:22)  And Paul in Colossians writes that, "He is before all things, and by Him all things are held together.  The writer of Hebrews says that "he upholds all things by the word of His power."Jesus is in Control.
We must be careful not to judge His position by what we see going on around us.  Sometimes we interpret the truth of God's word by our senses.  We don't see how He could be over all things and in control when all things seem out of control.  But we should never allow what we see, feel, taste, touch, and smell to take precedent over the word of God.  God's word says that he is before all things and by Him all things are held together.  This truth should trump all others. 
What we need to do now is to look for Christ in all things.  No matter what is going on whether it is good or bad Christ is working all things together for good to them that love Him who are called according to His purpose.  Because God has given all things into His hand He takes all things and makes it new according to His purpose and grace (2 Corinthians 5:21).  This thrills my soul that The Father trusts the Son with ALL things therefore I should trust Christ with all things too.
