The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Hebrews 1:1 God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways,

2 in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.

3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

4 having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.”

Chapter one of the Revelation is all about Jesus. So is chapter on of Paul’s epistle

to the Hebrews. Paul calls his day “these last days.” How much closer we are than

he was when he wrote this letter in A.D. 68! He emphasizes that the Father has

spoken to us through His Son, Jesus. And all we know of Jesus is in the Bible! Jesus

has been appointed the Father’s heir to all things! Think about that! Everything the

Father has (more than we could imagine!) He has given to Jesus, His Son. And it was

The Son who made the world. It was the Son who showed the Father’s Glory. Do you

remember the Transfiguration (Mat. 17:2)? Everything Jesus did was a perfect

representation of His Father. And the planets and stars and everything is kept in

place by the spoken word (???? rhema) of His power. Then, on the holy basis of all

of this, He died for us on the Cross, making purification for our sins, and is now

seated in Heaven at the right hand of the Father. Further, too, He is far better than

the angels and has inherited a Name more excellent than theirs.

You and I have a heritage through our parents. When Dado and Gogie died, everything

they had was divided between Aunt Carol and me. When Nana and I die, everything we

have will go to our two sons and our daughter (I think you know who they are.). What is

more important than the material things we have (which is not that much), is the heritage,

the name, we leave you. We are honest, truthful, spiritual believers in Jesus Christ.

That is the whole of our fortune! It is left to you for you to leave to your children until

Jesus Comes Again! How you are known by others vastly excels what you will ever have.

Love and prayers always,

Nana & Dado III
