“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.” (Hebrews 1:3)

“Not only is Jesus the exact representation of God, but He is God Himself – the very God who spoke in Old Testament times. He is eternal; He worked with the Father in creating the world (see. John 1:3; Colossians 1:16). He is the full revelation of God. You can have no clearer view of God than looking at Christ. Jesus Christ is the complete expression of God in a human body.

The book of Hebrews links God’s saving power with His creative power. In other words, the power that brought the universe into being and that keeps it operating is the very power that removes (provides purification for) our sins. How mistaken we would be to ever think that God couldn’t forgive us. No sin is too big for the Ruler of the universe to handle. He can and will forgive us when we come to Him through His Son. That ‘Jesus sat down’ means that the work was complete. Christ’s sacrifice was final.” – Zondervan, NIV Life Application Study Bible
