Thursday 7 August 2014. 

WORD OF THE DAY:

[Hebrews 1:1-4]

1. In many separate revelations (each of which set forth a portion of the Truth), and in different ways God spoke of old to (our) forefathers in and by the prophets. 

2. (But), in the last of these days He Has spoken to us in (the person of) a Son and, Whom He appointed Heir and lawful Owner of all things, also by and through Whom He created the worlds and the reaches of space and the ages of time (He made, produced, built, operated, and  arranged them in order).

3. He is the sole expression of the glory of God (the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine), and He is the perfect imprint and very image of (God's) nature, upholding and maintaining and guiding and propelling the universe by His mighty Word and power. When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the Divine Majesty on high.

3. Hy, wat die afskynsel is van Sy heerlikheid, en die afdruksel van Sy wese, en alles dra deur die Woord van Sy krag, nadat Hy deur Homself die reiniging van ons sondes bewerk het, en gaan sit het aan die regterhand van die Majesteit in die hoogte, 

4. Terwyl Hy soveel uitnemender geword het as die engele, namate Hy 'n voortrefliker Naam geërf het as hulle.
