00:00For anyone in need of a fresh lift of hope and a boost of encouragement in times of trouble,
00:11the New Testament book of Hebrews delivers that and so much more.
00:16Into the dryness of the human heart, the writer of this powerful letter declares with certainty
00:21that the ultimate hope and final word from God to you and to this world is found in Jesus Christ.
00:28Yet, Jesus offers so much more than simply the mere spoken word of God.
00:34He has been appointed by God the Father as the heir of all things.
00:38Everything created, known and unknown, visible and invisible,
00:43all things in the seen and unseen universe, belong to Jesus, God's Son, the final word.
00:50And not only does everything in the universe belong to Jesus,
00:53but everything was also created by Him, for Him, and through Him.
00:59The Old Testament reveals to us that God gave to Adam, the first human, dominion over all of creation.
01:06But Adam was no mere gardener or caretaker of rose gardens and vineyards.
01:12God gave Adam dominion, which has to do with rulership.
01:16God placed all creation under His care and rule.
01:19Initially, Adam ruled over creation with immense power and likely supernatural abilities.
01:26Yet, he lost all of that when he rebelled against God.
01:30When sin entered Adam's heart, he relinquished his God-ordained dominion over the earth.
01:37When the Lord Jesus came to this earth, He became a man.
01:41He performed miracles in every realm.
01:43He ruled over the afflictions of the human body.
01:48He had control of nature, He calmed storms, and He fed countless hungry people.
01:54He recovered what Adam had lost.
01:57The Lord Jesus exists as the ultimate heir of all things.
02:01Ultimately, Jesus Christ is the one who inherits everything in all of creation.
02:07No prophet in the Old Testament was ever promised anything like that.
02:11Jesus Christ is superior to everything and everyone God ever used to reveal His plans and purposes
02:19for the world.
02:20Jesus not only rules over the world and the entire universe.
02:25He created all of it.
02:27In fact, that creation extends not only to the physical world and all things seen and unseen,
02:34but also to the ages.
02:36Jesus' creative power means He ordains and governs the unfolding of all human endeavors,
02:41activities, seasons, as well as all times past, present, and into the eternal future.
02:48He not only made the world, but He also made the ages to come and holds in His power the purposes
02:55for everything.
02:56Feeling like your life has no purpose?
02:59You, more than ever, need the truth found in this wonderful book.
03:03God, in Jesus, has a program and purpose in everything, especially for your life.
03:10Just as surely as the sun rises to open your day and the moon sparkles above to close your evening,
03:17Jesus faithfully and graciously watches over your life.
03:21Think you are living in some mad, out-of-control, unpredictable universe?
03:26Think again.
03:28Everything belongs to Jesus, and He holds all things perfectly in place by the word of His power.
03:35And that includes your life, too.
03:37He is speaking.
03:38Are you listening?
