<p><em>Hebrews 1:3</em> gives us a clear picture of the deity <em>of Jesus Christ</em>. He is described as <em>&ldquo;the brightness of His glory,&rdquo;</em> meaning that He radiates and reflects the light and glory of God. He is also described as <em>&ldquo;the reflection of His person,&rdquo;</em> meaning that Jesus Christ is the supreme and exact representation of God Himself.&nbsp;Furthermore, this verse says that Jesus Christ <em>&ldquo;upholds all things by the word of His power.&rdquo;</em> Here we see that Jesus Christ has complete authority and control over everything in the universe. It is by His power that everything exists and is sustained.</p>
<p>The passage also talks about how Jesus Christ <em>&ldquo;made atonement for our sins by Himself.&rdquo;</em> Here we are reminded that Jesus Christ&rsquo;s sacrifice on the cross was the payment for our sins. He took the burden of our sins upon Himself so that we could be cleansed and restored to a relationship with God.&nbsp;The verse ends by mentioning that Jesus Christ sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. This is a reference to the position of Jesus Christ at the right hand <em>of God the Father</em>, indicating His supremacy and authority in heaven.</p>
<p><em>This verse, like many others in the Bible, shows us the deity and power of Jesus Christ, as well as His role in our salvation</em>.</p>
