• Jesus often referred to himself as the “Son of Man,” a title found in the Old Testament book of Daniel, which emphasizes his humanity

• Emmanuel is another well-known name for Jesus. See Matthew 1:23; Isaiah 7:14. This name, which means “God with us,”

• John the Baptist called him the Lamb of God.

• He is the “Savior” of the world. He is also the Word or Logos of God, who had a role in creation and revelation.

• According to Revelation, Jesus describes himself as the Alpha and Omega — underscoring Jesus’ eternal and unchanging nature as the beginning and end of all things.

• The writer says that the Son is heir (beneficiary) of all things, God has given Him all things in heaven and in Earth

• This son has created all worlds all things all stuff

• He is he reflection of the Gods Glory (Splendor, beauty, brilliance and wonder)

• The Son is the sustainer of all things by his powerful word (v. 3);

• The Son made purification for sins (v. 3);

4. This Son is the Image of God

• Look at verse 3” He is the reflection of God’s glory and the exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains[b] all things by his powerful word.”

• The apostle Paul says, “He is the image of the invisible God” (Colossians 1:15). So, if we could only see an image of Jesus, we could see an image of God.

• When we see Jesus we see the Father that is what Jesus told Thomas and Phillip6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 If you really know me, you will know[b] my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”

• 8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.”

• 9 Jesus answered: “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

• The Son is the imago Dei the image of God

• The Son grew as a child like us

• The Son faced death as we face death

• In becoming human, God provided the ultimate sacrifice through Jesus Christ, who offered himself as a ransom for humanity's sins.

• Finally the Son embodies the character and essence of God, making God known to humanity through his life, words and actions and revealing divine truths about God’s nature and will. Jesus is revelation of
