Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things…  (Hebrews 1:1-2)

Heir of all things.

“The word heir is ascribed to Christ as manifested in the flesh; for being made man, he put on our nature, and as such received this heirship for this purpose, that he might restore to us what we had lost in Adam. For God had at the beginning constituted man, as his Son, the heir of all good things; but through sin the first man became alienated from God, and deprived himself and his posterity of all good things, as well as of the favor of God. We only then begin to enjoy by right the good things of God, when Christ, the universal heir, admits to a union with himself; for he is an heir that he may endow us with his riches. The Apostle now adorns him with this title, that we may know that without him we are destitute of all good things. (John Calvin)

This Sunday Eric Twisselmann will be preaching on Christ, the heir of all things and Kenny Clark will be leading us in sung worship. Would you pray for each as they prepare? And let’s ask God, as Paul did, to enlighten the eyes of our hearts “that we may know what is the hope to which he has called us, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:18).

See you Sunday, Grace. Come hungry!

Song of the Week

How Low Was Our Redeemer Brought by Sovereign Grace Music

How low was our Redeemer brought
To raise us from our shame
And now the highest praise of all
Belongs to Jesus’ name
