Verse 3. Who being the Brightness of Glory, and the express image of his Person, and upholding (or disposing of) all things by the word of his power, having by himself purged our sins, sate down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.
The Apostle proceeds in his Description of the Person in whom God spake in the Revelation of the Gospel; ascending unto such a manifestation of him, as that they might understand his Eminency above all formerly used in the like Ministrations; as also how he was pointed out and shadowed by sundry Types and Figures under the Old Testament.
THe Apostle proceeds in his Description of the Person in whom God spake in the Revelation of the Gospel; ascending unto such a manifestation of him, as that they might understand his Eminency above all formerly used in the like Ministrations; as also how he was pointed out and shaddowed by sundry Types and Figures under the Old Testament.
Of this Description there are three Parts: The first declaring What he is; the second What he doth, or did; and the third the Consequent of them both, in what he enjoyeth.
Of the first Part of this Description of the Messiah, there ae two Branches, or it is two ways expressed; For he affirms of him, First, That he is the Brightness, Beam or Splendour of the Glory; and Secondly, the express image, or character of his Fathers Person.
