The Eloquence of God the Father in God the Son (Hebrews 1:1–4)

While there are many ways to get to know another person, the best way is to listen to them when they speak, to hear them describe their sense of right and wrong, their memories of the past, their desires for the present, and their goals for the future. Indeed, it’s near impossible to experience relational intimacy with anyone apart from deliberate attentiveness to what they reveal about themselves. And what’s true of our relationships with the people around us is true of our relationship with the God above us. If we desire to know our Creator—to worship him rightly, walk with him truly, rest in him fully, grow in him obviously, trust in him totally, talk about him joyfully, and bring people to him urgently—we must listen attentively when he speaks, how he speaks, and through whom he speaks. God wants to be known and he’s gone to great lengths to make that possible. Are we listening?
