In this episode James Bryan Smith’s thought from above is, Jesus is God exactly. Smith opens this episode with a passage from Hebrews 1:3. “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.” James unpacks this passage to help explain his thought from above.
The last sentence from that passage is very important. Smith explains that in ancient literature, when someone would sit down it was a sign that they had completed their work or task. Jesus sat down because he had shown the world exactly what god was like—even though he knew some of us still would not get it right.
Smith closes the episode saying, we love god, we long for god, we want to serve god; and we want to be his disciples, students, and apprentices because Jesus is the most beautiful thing the world has ever seen or will see.
