Hebrews 1:1-3

God's word was spoken through His Son -- Hebrews 1:1-3: One major difference between the law and gospel has to do with the manner of their revelation. God's revelation of the law was at different times. God's revelation was given before the flood to Adam, Enoch, Noah and others. After the flood His revelation was given to Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and the prophets.

God not only communicated the law at different times but also in different or divers ways. He sometimes communicated His will by visions, sometimes by an audible voice, sometimes by legible characters written by His own hand, as when He wrote the Ten Commandments on tables of stone, sometimes by Urim and Thummim, and sometimes by signs from heaven.

In the last days God gave a perfect, and likewise a final revelation of His mind for a lost world. This revelation was given through His Son. He, "Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." (Hebrews 1:2-3)

The New Testament is the revelation which God made by his Son. He is the most excellent messenger that was ever sent into the world, far superior to all the patriarchs, prophet and angles. The superiority of Jesus is seen in the fact that: (1) God appointed Him to be heir of all things. (2) By him God made the worlds, both visible and invisible, the heavens and the earth. (3) He upholds all things by the word of His power. He keeps the world from dissolving. It was written of Jesus that, "He is before all things, and by him all things consist." (Colossians 1:17)
