My Majestic Meaningful Merciful Maker

Scriptures: Hebrews 1:1-5

1) Majestic: the Incomparable Comparison

a) We often compare ourselves to others.
b) There is no comparison to Jesus’ power and character.
c) Jesus in His divine glory provides us the ending of our story as believers.

2) Meaningful: the Final Word

b) God has spoken to us through His Son
c) God is still speaking to us

3) Merciful: the Humble Redeemer

a) Jesus in His humble incarnation shows His pursuit of us.
b) God sees you.
c) What is your proper response?

GROUP DISCUSSION QUESTIONS (OR QUESTIONS FOR PERSONAL REFLECTION):
1. Comparisons:

a) Who do tend to compare yourself to in this world? Is it someone in your profession? At the local church? One of your parents or siblings? A famous musician or athlete?
b) What does Hebrews 1:1-5 say about Jesus’ character and power? How do others compare to Him?
c) How should knowing how powerful Jesus is change our attitude? Our choices?

2. Speaking and Hearing:

a) What does Hebrews 1:-1-5 tell us about how God has spoken to us in the past?
b) What does Hebrews 1:-1-5 tell us about how God speaks to us through Jesus?
c) Do you think people in the world today expect to hear from God? If so, how do you they expect him to speak?
d) Do you expect God to speak to you? If so, how?

3. Knowing that Jesus is all-powerful, what does that say about His decision to suffer and die for you? How does that affect how you see yourself? What should you do in response?

Speaker: Stephen Kao
