Scripture Focus: Hebrews 1:3–5 & John 1:1
Date: Sunday, 1st June 2025
Written by: RB Christian Radio Team
🌟 A Powerful Start to a New Month
As we stepped into the first Sunday of June, we were met with a word that wasn’t just encouraging—it was electric with truth. From Hebrews 1:3–5 and John 1:1, we explored the majesty, authority, and identity of Jesus Christ. These aren’t just verses to read—they are verses to live by.
“The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by his powerful word.”
— Hebrews 1:3 (NIV)
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
— John 1:1 (NIV)
💡 Jesus: The Radiance and the Word
What does it mean that Jesus is the radiance of God’s glory?
It means He is the light that shines from the very presence of God. Just like the rays of the sun cannot be separated from the sun itself, Jesus cannot be separated from the Father. He’s not just a prophet. Not just a good man. He is God in the flesh.
🔥 He Holds It All Together
Hebrews goes on to say that Jesus “sustains all things by His powerful word.”
Let that sink in:
🌀 In a world full of chaos, confusion, and breakdown—Jesus is still holding it all together.
🌍 Every breath, every heartbeat, every sunrise happens because He says so.
💬 His Word created the world, and His Word still sustains your world.
📖 John 1:1 – Back to the Beginning
“In the beginning was the Word…”
Before there was light, land, or even time itself — Jesus was.
John uses the term “Word” (Logos) to describe Jesus. That means Jesus is the expression of God’s heart and mind. He’s not just part of the plan—He is the plan. He is the divine message made visible and knowable.
So when we see Jesus in the Gospels healing, forgiving, weeping, and rising — we’re not just watching a good man, we’re watching God in motion.
👑 Son of the Father, Our Living Hope
In Hebrews 1:5, God declares:
“You are my Son; today I have become your Father.”
This highlights the unique identity of Jesus as the Son of God—not created, but begotten. He’s the heir, the King, the one through whom we are adopted into the family of God.
That means YOU are no longer a stranger to God—you are His child through Christ.
💭 Life Reflections
Let’s get personal for a moment…
Are you tired? Burnt out? Feeling like things are falling apart?
Let these truths be your anchor:
✅ Jesus is the light in your darkness.
✅ He sustains your life even when you’re falling apart.
✅ He speaks peace over your storm.
✅ He’s not distant—He’s right there with you.
You’re not being held together by your strength—you’re being held by His powerful word.
🙌 Final Encouragement
This week, don’t rush past these verses. Sit with them. Speak them over your life. Let them fill your prayers, your decisions, your moments of quiet.
📖 “The Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
📖 “He is the radiance of God’s glory.”
You are loved by the One who made it all, sustains it all, and came to redeem it all.

Ah yes! 🔥 Let’s add a section that smoothly blends today’s message with a timely reflection on AI (Artificial Intelligence) and how it connects with our faith and understanding of Jesus as the Word and divine wisdom. I’ll add it to the blog post below the life reflection section — and I’ll update the Facebook post too if you'd like after.
🤖 Faith in a World of AI – Jesus is Still the True Word
We live in a time where technology is growing faster than ever before. Artificial Intelligence is everywhere — from our phones to our homes, from the way we communicate to how we make decisions. AI can write, speak, think, and even create. But here’s the big question:
➡️ With all this knowledge at our fingertips…
Do we still know the Truth?
The Bible says:
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” — John 1:1
Even with all the tools, apps, and machines, there is no substitute for the living Word of God — Jesus.
🧠 AI might simulate wisdom…
💬 But Jesus is wisdom.
📱 AI can give you data…
💡 But Jesus gives you revelation.
🛠️ AI may assist you in life…
🙏 But only Jesus can save your life.
💬 What Does This Mean for Us as Christians?
As believers, we don’t need to fear AI — but we do need discernment. We’re called to use every tool wisely, remembering that:
✔️ Our source of truth is not Google — it’s God.
✔️ Our identity isn’t found in a digital profile — it’s in Christ.
✔️ Our foundation isn’t in what’s trending — it’s in what’s eternal.
So yes, AI can be useful. Even powerful. But it can never replace the eternal Word who became flesh and dwelt among us.
Let AI help you write, think, or work—but don’t let it replace the place of God’s Word in your life.
