We are as close to the Father as Jesus is.

Hebrews 1:5 For to which of the angels did He ever say, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”? And again, “I will be a Father to Him, and He shall be a Son to Me”? Do you get what the author of Hebrews is saying about Jesus? The name, Son, is a more excellent name than that of any angel. The two statements made by God, Himself, to Jesus emphasize that Jesus is His son, and in the mind of the Spirit, for God to call Jesus His Son is to exalt Him to the highest position. We also learn about the relationship between God Almighty and Jesus Christ. God is a father to Jesus, and Jesus is a son to God. There could be no one who has greater access to God than Jesus, His Son. He has bestowed upon His Son the greatest honor possible—to sit at the Father’s right hand, sharing His majesty. I’m reminded of what Paul wrote to the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 6:18 “And I will be a father to you, and you shall be sons and daughters to Me,” says the Lord Almighty.” And listen to what God’s grace has done for all who believe. Ephesians 2:5-6. “Even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” We are seated at the right hand of the Majesty on high! We are living with Jesus, now in heaven. We have access to the Father, who is love. We have inherited a more excellent name than the angels. We are called God’s Sons. He has begotten us in Christ. We lack nothing. We are complete in Christ. Satisfied in Jesus. There lies our encouragement to live to love with Jesus. We live because Jesus lives. We love because we have been loved. We move into our days with our eyes fixed on Jesus, in whom and through whom all the love of God is available to us. So today, we won’t kinda get by, we will live in fullness. We are loved by God with the same love with which He loves His own Son. We are as close to God, the Father, as Jesus is.
