Scripture
3 The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Reflection
In this context the word, “glory” refers to God’s glory. It is unique to God alone and Jesus has it because he is the source of this glory and the light which radiates from him. . . . As the stamp of an image on a coin distinguishes the government behind the coin so Jesus has the distinguishing mark of divinity. . . . The seat at the “right hand” is a seat of honor, in fact, of highest honor. (Psalm 110:1) Finally, in the words of the children’s song we gain this last perspective change, “He’s got the whole world, in his hands, He’s got the whole world, in his hands, He’s got the little bitty babies, in his hands, He’s got you and me friend, in his hands, He’s got the whole world in his hands” (Ps. Dale)
