Introduction: Saving the Best for Last
“Saving the best for last is always God’s rule.” Spurgeon said that. Now, whatever did he mean? Most of us, many of us, probably know the story of Jesus turning water into wine. It was the first miracle performed at the wedding in Cana.
What was so special about it? What was the big deal? There was a problem at that celebration—they had run out of wine. Jesus’ mother comes to Him and says, what are we going to do?
Now, of course, Jesus had the solution. Using the water jars of the Jewish rites of purification, He informed the servants, fill them up with water. Now serve that water—now wine—to the guests.
The master of the feast is in shock. He can’t believe it. They served the best last. You see, normally it was at the end of the party, when everybody had plenty of wine, that they would slip in the rather, well, you know—the old wine. They won’t know the difference; they’ve had plenty to drink.
Shifting gears a bit, we have to ask the question: why did the people of God have to wait so long for their Messiah? Why did they have to struggle to endure—to almost lose hope?
It seems rather cruel of God to make His children suffer so terribly. But the reality is that God has a purpose in the waiting. He’s got a message in the misery of it.
It’s especially difficult for us in our culture to wait. We hear messages all day long that fit this theme: act now, call now, just do it. Why wait until tomorrow when you can have it today? Don’t worry about charging it to your credit card. The interest rate is only 36%, and you’ll have your whole life to pay off this debt. So don’t worry about it.
But if we compare our present circumstances to those of the ancient people of God, we would hardly endure for more than a day. Over and over again, they hope in God, and then they turn their backs on God. They hope on Him, they’re filled with faith, and then they forget the promise.
You see, it’s the same story repeating itself today. We come to Christ. We come to Him with awe, with amazement. We’re filled with this hope and this joy. The testing comes, the trials overwhelm, and the tribulations become just too much.
We turn our backs on God. We look for an easier way.
The Importance of Lament
Recently, I was listening to a lecture. The professor was sharing about the need for lament in our day.
Lament? What are you talking about?
Yeah, it’s just this fancy word for a deep and profound expression of grief and sorrow.
You see, he made a very poignant point: that the American church would simply rather find a quick fix rather than take the time to just lament.
He goes on to say: the church is so good at just giving out prescriptions—telling you to memorize these 10 verses, or read this book on how to grow your church. But what if God was calling us to lament?
That’s it. To pour out our hearts in anguish over the sin and suffering of our world. What if we went to the Psalms of lament? What if we cried to our God in our anguish, in our anxiety, in our pain, and we said, “How long, O Lord?”
What if we were honest with God and said, “Lord, I feel like you’ve abandoned me. I feel like I’m all alone. I feel like you’ve removed your hand of protection and blessing.”
Well, that’s a bit more difficult—because our culture doesn’t want anything to do with the negative. Nothing that’s painful. Just push it aside. Don’t deal with it. Stay positive. Stay encouraging.
We want happy endings. We want the good guy to win.
The Good News: The Good Guy Has Won
See, the good news is that the good guy has won—in the person of Christ. God has saved His best for last.
He has given us Christ. He’s given us our greatest hope, our greatest treasure, our King, our Savior, our Lord, our Friend.
You may be struggling in the waiting right now. But you see—God has saved the best for last. His best is Christ. He is the long-awaited Messiah that has come. He has arrived.
He has come to seek and to save those that are lost. He’s come to guarantee a hope and a future that will never put you to shame. He’s reserved a place for you in His kingdom. He’s got pleasures for you in His presence forevermore.
He’s got a place for you where you’re not going to weep anymore. You’re not going to suffer anymore.
The best has come. The best is to come. It is here.
It’s not a guarantee of a better life. It’s not a guarantee that you’ll have more possessions and a more comfortable living. No—it’s in the person and work of Christ. That’s it.
It’s a work that was finished on the cross, and it’s a work that continues today from His throne in heaven. It’s a work that will be consummated in the new heavens and the new earth.
Main Point: God Has Given Us His Best So We Can Find Rest
So the urgency—what is it? What is the urgency of our day?
Is it to work harder at being better?
Or is it to trust more—that Christ is sufficient for your life?
All of your life. Your anxieties, your depressions, your life, your job, your career—whatever else. He is the highest. He is the perfect One.
And we’re going to see that in Hebrews—that He’s the better hope, the better testament, the better covenant, the better resurrection, the better sacrifice—even the better country. All of it is in Christ.
Four Key Points in Hebrews 1:1–4
If you’re taking notes, from verses 1 to 4, we’re going to explore that God has given us His best through Christ so that we might find rest in Him.
Four points that I want to draw to your attention as we consider the text:
- The Partial Revelation of the Old Testament Points Forward to the Full Revelation of God in Christ.
- Perfection Is Found Solely in Christ—Not in Our Efforts.
- The Pre-Existing Christ Powerfully Preserves His People.
- The Supreme Savior Made the Perfect Sacrifice to Secure His Righteous Reign.
1. The Partial Revelation of the Old Testament Points to the Full Revelation in Christ
Saving the best for last is always God’s rule. Spurgeon said that. Now, whatever did he mean?
Most of us probably know the story of Jesus turning water into wine. It was His first miracle, performed at the wedding in Cana. What was the big deal?
There was a problem at that celebration—they had run out of wine. Jesus’ mother comes to Him and says, “What are we going to do?” Now of course, Jesus had the solution. Using the water jars of the Jewish rites of purification, He told the servants, “Fill them up with water. Now serve that water—now wine—to the guests.”
The master of the feast is in shock. He can’t believe it. They served the best last.
You see, normally, it was at the end of the party—when everybody had had plenty to drink—that they would slip in the rather, well, you know, the old wine. “They won’t know the difference.”
Shifting gears a bit, we have to ask: why did the people of God have to wait so long for their Messiah? Why did they have to struggle to endure, to almost lose hope?
It seems rather cruel of God to make His children suffer so terribly. But the reality is that God has a purpose in the waiting. He’s got a message in the misery.
It’s especially difficult for us in our culture to wait. We hear messages all day long that fit this theme:
“Act now!”
“Call now!”
“Just do it!”
Why wait until tomorrow when you can have it today? Don’t worry about charging it to your credit card—the interest rate is only 36%, and you’ll have your whole life to pay it off. No worries.
But if we compare our present circumstances to those of the ancient people of God, we would hardly endure more than a day.
Over and over again, they hope in God—and then they turn their backs on God. They hope in Him and are filled with faith—and then they forget the promise.
You see, it’s the same story repeating itself today. We come to Christ in awe and amazement, filled with hope and joy. Then the testing comes. The trials overwhelm. The tribulations become too much. We turn our backs on God. We look for an easier way.

Yeah—it’s this fancy word for a deep and profound expression of grief and sorrow.

So what’s the urgency of our day?
Is it to work harder at being better?
Or is it to trust more that Christ is sufficient for your life?
All of your life. Your anxieties. Your depressions. Your job. Your family. Your career. Everything.
He is the highest. He is the perfect One.
And we’re going to see that in Hebrews:
- the better hope,
- the better testament,
- the better covenant,
- the better resurrection,
- the better sacrifice,
- even the better country.
All of it is in Christ.
2. Perfection Is Found Solely in the Person of Christ
(Hebrews 1:2)
“But in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world.” (Hebrews 1:2)
Here we are, folks. It’s the last days.
Have you watched the news for more than two minutes?
It sure feels like things are going from bad to worse.
But for some reason, we think that the “last days” started sometime in the 20th century.
No—it goes a lot farther back than that.
It’s after the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ.
He inaugurated these last days 2,000 years ago.
So we need not get anxious or retreat into some mindset of defeat:
“Oh well, it’s all going to burn anyway. What’s the point of evangelism? What’s the point of missions?”
Oh no—far from it.
We are now part of God’s great plan of redemption to bring the gospel to the whole world—to every tribe, tongue, nation, and people.
This is the great joy of the church.
The Lord is saying to us:
“Go, and make disciples.”
And guess what?
He guarantees the results.
That’s right—He guarantees that He will use you.
He guarantees that He will save whom He’s going to save.
So all we’ve got to do is go.
Isn’t that awesome?
He will not lose one of His own.
He will faithfully gather them all from the four corners of the earth.
And the good news?
**He’s chosen the church—**you and me—to do that.
Now, you say:
“Pastor, I’m not going on a missions trip. I’m not going across the world.”
I wouldn’t make that statement too soon—you never know.
And He’s given us His Spirit.
He’s granting us boldness to proclaim this glorious gospel to anyone and everyone who will listen.
God has spoken.
Have you heard it?
Was it audible?
Was it internal?
Was it a dream?
A vision?
No.
It’s His Son.
“In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son…”
And Jesus said:
“My sheep will hear My voice.”
What does He mean by that?
He means every person—every soul—He has ordained to eternal life will come to Him.
They’ll hear His voice.
They’ll say, “I hear the Shepherd. I’m coming to Christ.”
“…whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world.” (Hebrews 1:2)
So what do we know about the Son of God?
The writer of Hebrews tells us two things:
- He is the heir of all things
- He is the creator of all things
The Son: Heir of All Things
Now that’s interesting.
How can God appoint Jesus as an heir?
How does that work?
Consider the two natures of Christ:
- He is truly God.
- He is truly man.
He is the true and perfect prophet.
And the person of Christ has been made the heir of all things.
The Son of God had to become a man—we call it the Incarnation.
And it was accomplished through a process that theologians call the kenosis.
I’ll never forget when I was going through the process of being licensed with the EFCA. I sat before a council of twelve men over Zoom who grilled me for hours.
At one point, someone asked, “Can you explain what the kenosis is?”
I said, “Why don’t you tell me?”
(Laughter)
“Thanks. That was very nice of you.” And I moved on.
But seriously, don’t get overwhelmed by all the theological terms.
It simply means this:
Jesus came.
He humbled Himself (Philippians 2).
He emptied Himself, taking on the form of a servant.
Here’s the most important part:
He never lost His deity.
He simply took on the form of a servant.
He didn’t use His deity for personal gain.
He took on all the weaknesses associated with our humanity.
Keep in mind:
God the Son does not change.
He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever.
In that process of humbling Himself, He was also exalted—to the right hand of the Father, where He makes intercession for you and me, even now.
“So that at the name of Jesus, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:10–11)
The Son: Creator of All Things
It’s this key fact that the writer of Hebrews is getting to:
“…through whom also He created the world.”
This means Christ isn’t only heir—He is also Creator.
Take note of John 1:1–3:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God.
All things were made through Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.”
Or consider Colossians 1:16:
“For by Him all things were created,
in heaven and on earth,
visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—
all things were created through Him and for Him.”
All things were created through Christ—and for Christ.
The Sovereignty of Christ Over Our Lives
You see what happens when we step out of our circumstances?
When we just zoom out a little bit?
Here’s how we live—this is how I often live:
I’m looking at what’s right in front of me.
I’m thinking about the concern that’s right before me.
But if we just zoom out…
We realize that our great God—the heir and creator of all things—knows you by name.
There’s no one like our God.
The Muslims, whoever else—they’ve got nothing on our God.
Our God reigns.
This is where perfection is found.
This is where the glory is—in Christ.
It’s not in our efforts to be better, or to work harder.
Our Desire for Control vs. God’s Sovereign Wisdom
The problem is that our natural frame is bent toward being like God.
What do I mean?
- I want to be in control.
- I want to make things happen.
- If I just push hard enough, man, it’s going to happen.
- I want to fix all my problems, so I can have a nice, comfortable life and retire into the sunset.
Is that too much to ask?
But that’s not how it works.
God’s ways are higher than our ways.
Isaiah 55:8–9 says:
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways My ways, declares the LORD.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are My ways higher than your ways
and My thoughts than your thoughts.”
Do you feel small yet?
I do.
And that’s good.
God knows Himself fully.
We do not.
We will never know God fully.
He is without beginning or end.
How could we ever know Him fully?
And yet—we’re called to trust Him.
He Is God — We Are Not
He is:
- Omniscient (all-knowing)
- Omnipotent (all-powerful)
- Omnipresent (everywhere)
We are not.
We are His creatures, created in the image of God to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
That means He’s asking us:
“Hey, could you trust Me?
Could you just hang in there?
I’m the heir and the creator of all things.
Could you take a minute, pause—I got this.”
3. The Preexistent Christ Powerfully Preserves His People
(Hebrews 1:3a)
“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power.” (Hebrews 1:3a)
Let me ask you a question:
If Christ is able to uphold the universe by the word of His power,
do you think He’s able to uphold you?
“Well, of course, Pastor, I believe that. Jesus has all power, yes.”
But perhaps you’ve let that truth sit only in your mind,
and not sink down into your heart.
It’s easy to say:
- “Yes, our God has all power.”
- “Yes, our God is everywhere.”
- “Yes, our God has all wisdom.”
We turn it into a bumper sticker.
In fact, go ahead—we’re handing them out as you walk out.
They’re on the table on the left.
They say:
“God has all power. All presence. All knowledge.”
But seriously, let’s go deeper.
The Majesty of Christ’s Nature
As we consider the superiority of Christ, verse 3 is rich—it’s rich in substance.
Isn’t it odd how we sometimes think about the Trinity?
I’ll just speak for myself—sometimes I think:
- God the Father: majestic, glorious, grand, greater than the Son.
- The Father: spirit, mysterious, transcendent.
- The Son: just the man.
But we also know:
The Son is not just a man.
He is God.
How does that work?
Well—I don’t know.
What do you think I am?
It’s one of those mysteries we will never fully understand.
Deity: Not to Be Explained, But Adored
I love what Spurgeon said about this:
“Deity is not to be explained, but to be adored.”
“It is to be apprehended by faith, but not comprehended by understanding.”
Did you catch that?
It’s always going to come back to the matters of the heart—matters of trust.
I’ll be honest—as I was studying these four verses, I was thinking:
“Man, this is heavy. How am I going to bring this down and make it practical?”
But what if the point of this text wasn’t practical?
What if the Lord just wanted us to pause and worship?
To say:
“Lord… wow.
Majestic in power.
Great in glory.
Creator of all things.
Heir of all things.”
What if all He wanted was for us to pause our hearts and worship Him?
I think so.
Certainly! Here’s the continuation of Point 3:
The Radiance and Glory of Christ
The Nicene Creed, which we sang this morning, describes Christ this way:
“God of God, Light of Light.”
Some have compared the Son of God to the very radiance of the sun (S-U-N).
Here’s what’s being said by “radiance”:
Jesus—the Son of God—perfectly reflects the majesty of God.
As one commentator put it:
“Jesus does not simply reflect the glory of God like a mirror.”
He’s not just holding up a mirror and bouncing light back at us.
Instead, He emits light as the source—
the glory of God shining forth from the Son.
“God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.” (1 John 1:5)
The Light of Christ Will Fill the New Earth
And we know this—if you’ve read the book of Revelation:
“There will be no need for the sun or the moon.”
Why?
Because the light of Christ will illuminate the new heavens and the new earth.
Just think about that for a second:
No need for the sun?
The glory of Christ will fill the whole earth?
That’s a high thought.
Don’t try to comprehend that.
Don’t try to understand it.
Instead, just let it stir your heart.
As Jonathan Edwards said, let it stir your religious affections.
Let it stir up your worship of God and Christ.
Let it be the cause for you to bow in humility before the Lord of creation.
Worship and Rest in His Glory
But let it also:
- Ease your heart
- Comfort your soul
- Enable you to rest in Him
As I said earlier, Hebrews chapter 1 is a theological treatise—just like Romans.
It’s a written work meant to display the riches of God in Christ.
It unpacks the treasures of who God is, and what He has done.
Here’s a fun word for you—extra credit:
Effulgence — E-F-F-U-L-G-E-N-C-E
Definition: Brilliant, radiant splendor; the quality of shining forth with intense light
This is the Son of God.
The absolute perfection of deity in bodily form.
He’s not a close match to God.
He’s not a copy, or the leftovers.
No—He is the exact representation of God.
Jesus said:
“If you’ve seen Me, you’ve seen the Father.” (John 14:9)
Here is the continuation of Point 3: The Preexistent Christ Powerfully Preserves His People:
The Shekinah Glory in Christ
The glory of Christ reminded the Jewish Christians of something profound.
“Oh yeah… remember the Shekinah glory?”
- Remember the glory cloud by day?
- Remember the fire by night?
- Remember the glory that filled the temple?
The Shekinah—that visible, powerful presence of God—would appear at certain times, in certain ways.
For example:
- The Day of Atonement—when the high priest entered the Most Holy Place.
- He would sprinkle the blood of the sacrifice on the mercy seat, the lid of the ark of the covenant.
And what happened?
The glory of God would fill the temple.
That glory would come down and cover the mercy seat—just for a moment—after the blood had been offered to cover the sins of the people.
But it had to be done again and again, year after year.
But Now—We Have Something Better
Now—guess what we have?
We have the glory of God, the Shekinah glory, in the person and work of Christ.
The fullness of God in bodily form. (Colossians 2:9)
Jesus is the temple.
Jesus is the glory.
Jesus is the dwelling place of God.
Don’t get overwhelmed by all the terms and theology.
Here’s the takeaway:
The former glory—as magnificent as it was—is nothing compared to the greater glory of God in Christ.
Christ Upholds You Personally
And this very Christ, the One who is upholding the universe,
is also upholding you.
That’s the promise of Scripture.
Better than the “perseverance of the saints”
is the preservation of the saints.
Because here’s the truth:
We would never make it to the end in our own strength.
Okay, I’ll speak for myself:
I would never endure to the end in my own power.
But Christ—powerful, perfect, preexistent—preserves us.
He upholds us:
- Through the waiting
- Through the hardship
- Through the trial
- Through the tribulation
- Through the seasons when it seems like all hope is lost
Why?
Because He is forming Christ in you.
He’s showing you that it’s Christ in us that is the hope of glory.
He’s reminding you that Christ in us, through the power of the Spirit, enables us to do all that He’s commanded.
That’s why we keep:
Looking to Jesus.
Looking to Christ.
Looking to God’s best.
4. The Supreme Savior Made the Perfect Sacrifice to Secure His Righteous Reign
(Hebrews 1:3b–4)
“After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having become as much superior to angels as the name He has inherited is more excellent than theirs.” (Hebrews 1:3b–4)
Once again, we see a powerful demonstration of Christ’s perfect sacrifice.
Remember, the Jewish Christians this was written to understood the system of purification.
They knew:
- It was the job of the priest to ensure that the camp was pure.
- They understood the Day of Atonement.
- Once a year, the high priest would go into the Most Holy Place, sprinkle the blood on the mercy seat, and the sins would be covered.
But There Had to Be Something Better
They must have thought:
“Man, there’s got to be something better than this.”
“I’m tired of the bulls and goats. It’s a mess.”
“It doesn’t last.”
And that’s exactly the point:
There is something better—a once and for all offering.
And that something—is Someone.
Christ.
His sacrifice was acceptable to the Father.
It only needed to happen once.
Dealing with the Weight of Guilt
So what was the purpose of this once-and-for-all sacrifice?
It was to deal with the guilt of our sin.
Guilt is heavy.
Guilt is crushing.
Guilt is debilitating.
And the stain of sin is on every one of us.
There’s no religious system, no list of good works,
that can remove the weight of your guilt.
Only Christ can do that.
Some of you have said it:
“It felt like a weight came off me.”
That was your guilt saying goodbye.
“I’m done with you, guilt.
You’re out of my life.”
Why?
Because Christ has cleansed you by His blood.
He Took Our Filth Upon Himself
It was His blood—better than the blood of bulls and goats.
His blood was sufficient to satisfy the wrath of a holy God.
Let me put it this way:
Most of us don’t like messes.
Last night, I was cleaning… as per, uh, “directive orders.”
We don’t like to be dirty.
We don’t like filth.
I feel for the guys that pick up the trash—God bless them.
The stench of the garbage probably clings to them.
Now imagine:
The stench of our sin before a holy God.
It’s worse than you think.
It’s more offensive and more horrific than all the world’s trash combined.
And yet…
Christ humbled Himself to clean up our mess.
He came to remove the stench, the stain, the guilt.
This is what our God did for us.
He Sat Down
And now—the Son of God—enjoys all power and authority.
“He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.”
Why did He sit?
Because the work was finished.
He wasn’t tired.
He was exalted.
He sat down because the sacrifice was sufficient.
And what’s He doing now?
Interceding for you.
If you are in Christ, He is praying for you right now.
God never sleeps.
He never slumbers.
He is superior to all—even angels.
Superior to Angels
That’s why verse 4 says:
“He became as much superior to angels as the name He has inherited is more excellent than theirs.”
This is talking about His humility, then His exaltation.
Jesus is Lord of all.
Closing Exhortation
So now we close.
Yes—you’ve been waiting for it.
But before we go, consider this:
Maybe you’ve needed a mindset shift.
Maybe you’ve forgotten how majestic your God is.
Maybe you’ve been overwhelmed by life.
You need to hear this:
God has given you His best through Christ, so that you can rest.
Who wants rest?
“Give me some rest, man.”
We all need that reminder:
- Of God’s greatness
- Of His glory
- Of His power
- Of the full revelation in Christ
- Of the perfect sacrifice
- Of the preserving power of Christ
If there’s one thing you take away today, let it be this:
“Lord, you’ve expanded my awe and adoration of You.”
“You’ve helped me turn my eyes from this life to the better country.”
The goal is worship.
The goal is doxology.
“Praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him, all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host.
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.”
Let that fill your heart with praise,
with adoration,
with worship for your great God and King—Jesus Christ.
So let’s look to Him.
Let’s worship Him.
Let’s trust in Him.
And surely then—surely then—we will find rest for our weary, anxious hearts.
Closing Prayer
Let’s go to the Lord now in worship. Let’s take a moment to quiet our hearts. And let’s just say to God: “Wow… You are awesome.” “Wow, Lord… You are superior.” “You are perfect.” “You are excellent.” Just do that right now. Tell Him—tell Him how great He is.
Let’s do that together… and then I’ll close in prayer.
Oh great God…
Who is like You? The Creator, the Sustainer, the Giver of Life, The One who is upholding the universe by the word of Your power.
How majestic. How sweet is the name of Jesus. And we bow before You, Lord. We just want to humble ourselves. We want to forget about our checklists of: “Lord, do this.” “Lord, do that.” “Speak to me this way or that way…” We just want to bow before You.
That’s a wonderful place to be. We want to be there, Lord. So let our hearts melt before You. Let our hearts bow before You in awe of You, as we worship You together—for:
Your great Gospel, What You’ve done for us, What You’re doing for us today, Your interceding power, And that You’re coming back.
We pray this all in the name of Jesus. Amen.
