Read Hebrews 1:1-12
As we continue to look at the Lordship of Christ we need to look at verse 8-9. Look closely at what the author rights actually quotes from Psalm 45. Here the writer of Hebrews is clearly establishing the supremacy of Christ over creation. This vital because for Jesus to be the one true Lord He must be supreme to His creation. Those who would attribute Lordship to Jesus Christ are His creation. Jesus has been anointed as the one who is ruler over all creation. To often what happens is that the created becomes greater than the creator. Lordship is given to created things rather than to Jesus. This is why it is important to understand that Jesus is supreme over creation. We must be careful in our lives not to give created things to much of a place in our lives. However often it is those things that control the vast majority of our time, money and energy. Are things more important to you than your relationship with Christ? As Lord of your life, He is to be over those things.
Father it amazes me how easily I put things before you and let them take up my time, money and energy. Give me strength and the determination to put you first and allow the things of my life to take a back seat to you.
